    @machpants they said it doesnt have a brain, just reacts to touch or shadow, so it'd no doubt have a crack at a person if they happened on it, at 8ft, it'd do a little damage and scare the shit out of you

    Yeah I was thinking how cool, then it was.....less cool.

    I like the idea of being a people friendly top layer, with nature and close by amenities. Transport layer underneath for cargo/self driving cars and then the public transport under that.

    Could see that working very well as a spine of a new city.

    Yeah - before even watching that, I was reminded of Brasilia... he mentions it in passing in relation to the shape, but not the idea.
    In some ways - it was pretty much the same thing... "This is how transport and society should work, so we'll build the city around those ideas"... except, when it was being designed - it was assumed cars/etc were the future... the entire city was built around everybody driving. Which... didn't age well. It's just a fluffybunny of a city.
    Looking at this - yeah, all the ideas (well... all the ideas he outlined before going into the batshittery).... make sense, and I like them. But... are they going to age well? I can't think of what might change to make this a massive obsolete piece of shit... but... neither did Brasilia.

    Holy sh*t! I'd never heard of capybaras; they look like guinea pigs on steroids!
