> I think we should return to the 1950s ideas of a futuristic cities and invest in building giant arcologies

Ugh, I hope not. The 50s was the most infantile era, completely preoccupied with convenience and efficiency and big things that go wrooar. The vision of the future in the 50s was so cringey.

I am proud to be an infantile person, I want a lot of convenience and efficiency, and I want a lot of big, shiny toys.

I think the modern doom and gloom era is very depressing. I am a technocrat and a futuristic optimist.

For me, the modern popular vision of future is not worth living for.

The popular vision for the future is _exactly_ technocratic.

> I am a [...] futuristic optimist

Me too. But 50s era techno-fetishization is not the lever to achieve a better future.
