Visiting the Hoover Dam feels to me like visiting a rift into an alternate timeline—one in which we attempt enormous, absurd, starry-eyed projects… and achieve them, under budget and years ahead of schedule!
I’d love to better understand the forces which made that possible.

The “Great Green Wall” seems tied in with that “Delay climate change for just $300B” article going around. Basically: productive soil holds much carbon. Counter: that “plant 10^11 trees” paper fell apart under scrutiny.

I’ll take my movies, music, and microcode, thanks.
