*takes deep breath* i am exhausted by our failure of imagination. at least give me flash mobs on demand. give me city-wide AR games and houses that grow — literally. because genomics. take me to that goth rave where neo met trinity, and HELLO: where the hell has laser tag gone?

boomers “were promised flying cars,” but i was supposed to be riding to work on a chocobo by now, and sure, colonizing mars would be great (if anyone were actually working on it). but are we really not doing *anything* with antarctica? ever?

i’m done with the “should we replace private healthcare” debate. what we should be replacing is the human body. it sucks. let me regenerate my limbs like a lizard already, and if i want giant bird wings that’s my prerogative. bioluminescent eyes that glow purple? take. my. money.

i want to live forever. i want you to live forever. i want us all to be taking seriously the goal of living forever. but for god’s sake, what is any of it worth without vision? life doesn’t have to be an endless social media misery parade. we have to start dreaming again.

Well, there is Caltrain (currently spending 30% of its staff’s time arguing w/San Mateo NIMBYs over a new maintenance yard) and flotillas of food trucks selling global cuisine. And fiberoptic art on the Bay Bridge. But I hoped the old bridge wd at least become an art collective.)
