At what point do you think population density and technological progress will necessitate and facilitate the building of massive hive cities, concentrating industry and freeing the rest of the land for automated farming and mining?
No idea. But I'm kind of inspired by the concept. Thanks anon. Saging.

sage hasn't worked for years newfriend
There'll be a mass extinction before we get to this point. Look at projections of population growth in Africa and Asia. Collapse is inevitable.

I can't speak for Africa but I could easily see Asia being the first place to do this.

Over 90% of earth's population growth is third-world people with insufficient IQ to build and maintain a sewage system or a paved road. If density reaches any multiple of what we have now, it won't produce massive hive cities, it will produce famine, war, and pestilence followed by a reset to the stone age.

I meant more the mass destabilization that results. These "refugees" will flood western countries en masse, bringing their delightful little diseases with them. The system will be overwhelmed by sick, low IQ human garbage, and society will collapse.

Exactly this.

I mean, the nice thing about going to war with primitives is pic relate

Only if we let them. Which we are. Fuck.

First world military soldiers are a grab-bag of ethnic groups who damn sure won't be shooting their own. You're completely delusional if you think they will shoot the primitives in their billions instead of just killing the few smart people who gave them the order.

So you're telling me /pol/ is right?
>>62359602
>of all the words of tongue and pen, the saddest are these
>/pol/ was right again
>>62358795
mass extinction/genocide will come before that
>>62359602
/pol/ is completely schizo and demented, but they're correct about the future of the first world. It's written in Hegelian stone already. Nice first world comfy moral people will never become hardened to the realities of resource scarcity before population blooms in the third world destroy them.

how does this design save any more space than houses on the ground, considering how far apart they are and it's fuckin hollow?
>>62359677
It's hollow because it generates power using hot air rising through the tower to drive turbines. What's missing from the concept art is the hundreds of square kilometers of greenhouse at the base you need to generate all that warm air.

It's just an example, do you like this one better?
