Maybe what we are seeing is the lowest point of what used to an absolutely epic sized above sea level lake that humans drained.

Like imagine three or more mountain ranges encircling an area and closing of the meltwater, trapping it several thousand feet above ground and that we drilled a massive drainage hole that make this lake drain straight into the ocean. This opened up an absolutely massive land area that has previously been the bottom is the lake. Of course the meltwater would still come down from the moutains and create a great river system that would naturally converge at the lowest point. So you might have two huge rivers meeting at this point and that's were we put the dams.

The rich will live in a humongous space station with a fragile shell that could fall out of orbit into the planet below.

Please do not get your orbital mechanics from the Star Wars prequels.

>>2883684
London 2020?

>>2887179
>that could fall out of orbit into the planet below.

Real life isn't a "good guys win" movie. The richest humans are already funding private exploration of space. We won't hear about their findings or what resources were found until decades/centuries later.

Kings and queens didn't send random unskilled peasants to explore the new world, they sent the very best explorers, using top of the line equipment. The literal tons of gold and riches brought back weren't disclosed to the public or added to the nations coffers, it was mostly hidden in private banks.

Nothing has changed.

>>2887179
The fucked up thing about that movie is that, by wasting all those medical resources on the mud-people living on Earth, the actual useful members of society on the space station are now going to die. Once they go, the Earth will follow, since they obviously can't manage themselves without help from above.
I mean, shit, the ubermenschen only moved about 50 miles up, and the entire planet fell to shit.

>>2887885

Some of the people on the space station might die. But was there any reason to suspect that they couldn't just get resupplied within a month? I mean the point of the movie seemed to be more that they were so hoardy that they'd simply bought up all the medical technology and supplies and as a result Earth had decayed into a savage wasteland.

if you look at economic development, one of the most important aspects of it seems to be a severe lowering of child mortality rates. Once the risk of your kids dying goes from 50% to 0.1%, investing in their education rather than putting them to work ASAP seems to be a perfectly logical step. And since education is like the best way to actually get out of poverty, the result is "economic development" or rather people go from being useless peasants into component engineers, doctors, lawyers, machine operators and so on.

Not him but it is true. The point of finding a sea route to india was to make a fuck ton of money from spices and other exotic goods. People didnt really do it because they were particularly interested in exploring India further.

When America went to space, it was really just an elaborate way of developing missle technology and to be ahead of the competition. When it got to the point at which it was clear that both sides had the capability to strike any point on Earth AND the Moon, the space race ceased to be a thing. The goal was always supremacy though, but the result was pairity.

Serious concern though. If she ran for 2016, then she was obviously expecting to run in 2020 for a second term. She'll be back.

Hopefully however the same applies to nearly everyone else in the race from Sanders to Cruz, though it depends on how much support they can garner the second round.

Low IQ races will continue to breed (Africans will double in population by 2050, then double again by 2100 to a number around 5 billion according to UN projections) and the only successful races will be displaced thus making them incapable creating a "futuristic" future.

The one thing I have noticed about art that is geared to future outlooks. Is it was seen in a more positive view in the past than it is now.

The art made in the 70's is usually brighter with almost positive look on how technology that will affect humanity. While in recent years the artist creations are darker, bleaker and negative.

I agree. Hopefully there will be a shift towards more optimistic, brighter visions of the future that we are all counting on Donald Trump to give us.

>>2901098
I just googled all of mine. If you figure out the name of the artist(s) it might help your search.

>>2901098

Nobody really knows who or what Qman is. The images are ancient by internet standards. My guess is simply that he was an old pulp fiction nerd that got his hands on original art work for old book covers and scanned it and had it on a private server. Then he died and the server went down.

At this point, all we really have are the images he's labeled and marked.

But if you want a giant as fuck archive, I have an archive over 2000 images with a retrofuturistic theme.

I don't know about the architechture. Modern day says "smooth it all over with a thin plastic shell and make it white as in 'pure', then after the first wave of sales is over, we'll release it in a black shell, creating the second wave. But i digress....

Revolutions are uncommon so it's almost all incremental changes that you don't even notice until you look at decade or multi-decade periods.

All I know is that in 1982 when I saw Blade Runner the year 2019 seemed to be in the far-flung future, and so much seemed possible. Now we're just a couple of years away and the biggest differences are smart phones and internet services.

And that's it.

You're right about poor and uneducated people having much higher fertility rates, but that's part of how human societies develop.

Europe was in the same position just 200 years ago. With the advent of modern medicine, people were living longer and infant mortality rates plummeted, but people were still having 6-8 children per couple. After the initial population boom, the fertility rates eventually shrank to compensate.

Africa hasn't undergone the demographic transition to low mortality/low birthrates that the developed world has, so of course their population is going to skyrocket in the short-run.

All there really is to worry about is making sure liberals and pseudo-leftists don't keep bringing refugees and unskilled immigrants into the developed world. You have to let them bloom where they're planted, so to speak.

And be careful about this popular trend of being fixated on IQ. Although useful, remember that it's not entirely genetic and is just one of the factors in measuring general intelligence.

Chances are it'll be a planet with wide equatorial rainforest that is too hot for humans to live in. Cyclones/Hurricanes/Typhoons will rage one after the other all year round. Current fertile growing areas will turn to sand, and the remnants of civilisation will cling to pockets closer to the poles (buy land in New Zealand, Greenland, and Patagonia), watched over by ruthless authoritarian governments.
We've fucked the planet. Our descendants will curse our names.

She's been beaten by an erudite black man, and a screaming cantaloupe. Who's she going to lose to on the third try?
I suspect she's gone to ground so she can lay the foundations for Chelsea's run in 2020 or 2024 (assuming the USA is still a democracy by then ;) ).

Funny thing about this image I used to think the secondary runway on the bottom left was a water runway, where these planes would approach, float and dock with the hotel over there, and it would also be a waterside resting place, and smaller boats could float out there too.

And I would then try to imagine how they would get all the water up there as well as disaster scenarios like if all that water was emptied out into the floors below by a terrorist bomb or something like that, and as well as thinking just how heavy and reinforced the building has to be to support what looks like a fuck-ton of water so high up and all the logistics involved.

Then one day I looked closer and noticed its just a regular solid surface runway, then it became a lot less exciting. Still a really cool looking building and one of the best futuristic buildings I've ever seen, I'd love to explore it - have imagined various videogames that could be set in it, on the roofs and everything in between, also even though its not - its fun to imagine the rightmost part of the building at the water level there, like its on a high cliff, with waterfalls hidden behind the building, that way the lower left side of the building is level with one lower body of water and the right side of the building is higher up level with a higher body of water, it looks much cooler that way.

God.... that is just fucking beautiful, imagine just seeing that in the sky as you wake up in the morning, absolutely beautiful

We integrate into the landscape on a small scale with pilings for houses and foundations for buildings. But the interfacing between natural and artificial is the problem.

The geotechnical scope spanning every engineering discipline of ensuring vast mountain shells or limitless cliff heights poses almost no conceivable reward.

Once we get to the proficiency of those problems, we'll have moved beyond a Type-0 civilization and begun synthesizing our own global topography on an incredible scale.

>>2952896
I'll synthesize your global topography ;^)

What are Type-1, Type-2, Type-n...? Is this an established nomenclature?

>>2953074

Type-1 uses the full power of it's planet

Type-2 uses the full power of it's star

Type-3 uses the full power of it's galaxy.

Of course, whether or not these types are acheivable is besides the point. It is more like a neat way of thinking about when a civilization goes from being small time to big time to being immortal elder god tier

You hoping for some futuristic utopia? Too bad.
Here is 38 thousand years to the future.

>>2955797
but thats only 1 planet among billions inhabited

>>2954940
yes, it does work THAT way

But at least I will have a job, my brain plugged into a terminal in the lightless 25th sub-basement of some administratum monolith somewhere.

Futurists should always just ask themselves what would be the actual point of the things they imagine. If it just looks vaguely space age but would have to practical reason to exist then it's not going to happen.

Same with uniformly futuristic cityscapes, at what point in the future do they think we're going to raze all functioning buildings every time we come up with a new style. Half the buildings 200 years from now will still be brick and mortar.

>>2955890
Nah, the tractors are plowing the fields at right angles to the spin-generated gravity. They're basically driving on the walls.

No. You've misunderstood the orientation of the ring. You're basically ebign fooled by the fact that the rings appear the curve to the left but they do in fact curve towards and are viewed from an angle. Look at pic related, it has the same orientation.

And thus we break the bump limit. Chuck Jaeger would be proud
