  • The Omni-factory. From assembly-lines to assembly-webs. Post 5 about Fully Automated Luxury Communism (7-minute read)

  • Possible future posts –

    • Food in this world is made by cellular agriculture
    • Textiles/clothing: also some cellular agriculture, some æsthetic and functional points to discuss
    • Neuromodulation that people use in this world instead of drugs
    • Immersive VR: it makes you feel like you're really there by hacking your nervous system
    • Robot-helpers: I can keep this short. Without robots wired to a BCI, you have to use your own body to do everything; think how different life feels with robots wired to a BCI.
    • Visual communication: standard humans are equipped to send verbal thoughts from mind to mind. But visual thoughts are trapped inside the skull. Imagine we could visualise images and send them to our friend's contact-lens-display. Greatest revolution in communication since language was invented.
    • Not a description of this world, but talking about the worldbuilding implications of digitised minds and atomically-precise nanotech, why you can't have anything resembling a recognisable world with those.
    • Nothing if there's no interest, five is a good number of posts to leave it at

  • I realised writing this that a circular economy comes with communism at any tech level.

    Circular economies can’t be achieved in a capitalist world of fragmented competing firms. But if everything is owned by one interest-group, then of course the waste becomes input.

    The solarpunk world (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) also had a circular economy even though it was a totally different world; anything that prioritises rational production instead of useless production for profit will re-use waste.

  • Short post about plasma thrusters

    Jump

  • After considering a few technologies for flight, I settled on plasma thrusters, because their ear-æsthetics and eye-æsthetics are both

    Ducted fans and basic propeller/drone technology wins on realism; plasma thrusters win on æsthetics while also having passable realism.

    In the future, the Dutch will have tube-transport that glides them in pods around their cities, while Americans grumble about "flying-car-dependency"

    There's an energy breakthrough. Every citizen can use one megawatt for free, night and day. How does life change?

    Seed-thoughts

  • Finvenkismo is part of my world (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) too. (posts 2 and 3 mention the language.)

    The seed-thought of my world was "What would it look like if indigenous cultures were flourishing everywhere?" and that necessitated an International Auxiliary Language (IAL).

    Indigenous languages are strong in the home and community, but science, broadcast media, the internet, and technical guilds (basically anything international) is in the IAL.
