*except for bootstrapping bitcoin and ending fiat

I think those timelines are massively over-exagerrated, there are huge gaps in the timeline but your point still stands. The current architecture mirrors the current rulers and their society 💯. Ugly concrete and simplicity everywhere. No beauty to be found at all.

Older structures have life in them. Architects used to design their projects using sacred geometry. Stone masons knew their craft. Today it's all about consumerism, cheap materials and zero concern for forms, spaces and human activities inside of them. The art is partially lost and people will inquire about it when they will be filled with diseases and disorder in every cell of their bodies. Being retarded by foods and education doesn't help either. I'm kidding tho, most will go into oblivion and get recycled.

Makes me sad reading this. I think you're right, though.

On a slightly different note:

- Dresden

- Warsaw

- Hiroshima

- Mariupol

- …

It’s not only about materials or architects 😒

Ummm we have topped all of these…

We'll be remembered for squandering a century of civilisation.

We'll be remembered for living in a failed era.

Knowledge behind lock and key will also perish. Open source everything.

Fiat financing of government subsidies in the US make Portland cement artificially cost effective. There are much better solutions, but they cannot compete on price point when those manufacturers are getting government handouts.

This doesn't just apply to cement , but steel as well. Research MgO 'cerami-crete' and 'suda-glass' basalt, those materials are superior across the board, from environmental impact to functional performance, yet almost no one has heard of them let alone where to buy them.

Simply put, what gets built in what gets subsidized, financed, insured, & 'permitted', NOT what produces the best results.

Do you really believe that was us that constructed that without more advanced technology than what we have today?
