馃懡Like us aliens, you all want the same things: food, water, education, cloths, money, a place to live and all the fun that you can stand. That's the SuperCity/SuperTrain SuperSystem with the SuperHub -- the same SuperSystem used throughout the developing cosmos... One standardized SuperCity wrapped around the entire planet with thousands of cone-shaped, mile-high, draped with hydroponic vegetable gardens, SuperNodes of the ONE SuperCity for SpaceShipEarth design.
馃懡You have to design the SuperCity/SuperTrain SuperSystem to withstand the decades-long, non stop, planet-wide volcanic winter that will happen after the Yellowstone SuperVolcano erupts, blasting so much soot so high up into the stratosphere that it never gets rained out and shades the sun. No food. Standardized, you can build it robotically, fast. Time is the most important concern. The Yellowstone SuperVolcano is 40,000 years past its 600,000 year average eruption time span. We hear the rumblings deep beneath its surface. It may not fire for a thousand years, but it could start next Wednesday. The SuperSystem will cost a few zillion, but would you rather freeze to death with your frozen money in a frozen bank vault? Don't worry about the money. Like lubricating oil in a mechanical engine that is pumped round and round, money goes round and round (it never runs out) in the economic engine and the "CollectiveMind" is the pump that drives it all. You can pump (spend) it fast or you can spend it slow. The advancing civilizations that spend money fast become SuperWorlds in the cosmos. Those civilizations that spend their money (spin the money wheel) slowly are often the civilizations that die out in global nuclear wars. Too bad for them, but if an evolving civilization stops evolving and becomes hateful and collectively brain dead, then why would the universe want to preserve it? To clean up the mess, let the cancer kill itself - drive itself to extinction. Not every civilization evolving in the cosmos gets to become big and powerful enough to build DragonFlys in orbit to INVADE THE ASTEROID BELT and save themselves from the next-coming killer comet that is coming. mindsnapnow.com boing boing
