That sounds like an ecological disaster. I love trains and sail boats and mass transport that don’t run on fossil fuels, but we also can’t overlook the ecological implications of building ideas like yours. We’ve fucked enough of marine, coastal and soon, deep sea / sea floor ecosystems already.

Tech bros see dystopian sci-fi as inspiration it seems

The dystopia that’s unfolding is like bad writing and not something any self-respecting writer will put to paper

This is actually discussed in the article, which states that the raising awareness effect of zoos is very very small compared to its entertainment effect on individuals.

Thank you! 🙇‍♀️ this is the vegan ramen store at Team Star Lab in Kyoto!

I actually do and that’s why I’m a bad street photographer hahaha. Nowadays I do try to ask for the quickest consent by waiting before I click the shutter and making sure the subject sees me (and maybe making hand gestures like pointing at the camera and then doing a thumbs up)—some will see and go on their day, some will pose, and some will protest, at which point I stop and apologise. I know by doing this I lose the “spontaneity” of street photography that street photographers love so much. I also have friends who are more of “shoot first and ask for consent later”. Otherwise most street photographers I know personally or read about do seem to feel like they can take strangers’ photos with no qualms.

Thank you so much for your kind words 🥹🙇‍♀️
