In summary we must build a Gaudy Spectacle City, like Neom but wiggly instead of straight line, and based on tubes, full of b2b SaaS companies and a Gundam Research Lab. Initial funding required: $50B. I’m available to serve as first mayor. No Retvrners allowed.

My solution to climate change is “let’s live in tubes.” Moving on.

This is a tricky one. I kinda buy argument that it’s just misguided eternalism but there’s a Wowbagger version of longevity I like as a civ goal. We could all live long insulting each other in alphabetical order (without alphabetical order it is just culture war)

When you take space (universe) exploration off the table… it’s just us …. staring at each other… which we’re already really really good at (TV, Twitter, etc).

Shoulda restricted this prompt to 40+. Everybody under 40 has a solid life-stage eigenmotive that’s much too easy to project onto this prompt. You need underpurposed 40+ energy that’s run out of eifenmotives.
