Elitist billionaire wants to build isolated city filled with 50,000 slaves...Brave New World!

The real future is making Minority Report sound pretty mild.

A socialist society entirely powered by a $400B injection of capitalism. Nice.

This “model” is so unbelievably unattainable. Have fun consuming filtered sh1t as your drinking water in the name of sustainability. Hopefully your 1 pint ration is enough for the week. “Recycling” does not create a 100% reusable ecosystem.

The electric cars will need battery replacements, which oh by the way use 10-20lbs of Cobalt each, mined by African slaves in Congo literally using sticks to dig it out (and owned by a Chinese corporation, fun!).

There is no point to this society other than attempting to create a socialist utopia. Interested to see how dramatically this fails when real life limitations set in. In the words of Thanos, “Reality is often disappointing”

I mean as long as they have a track and miles of trails. Am I Right! 🤔

It will be fun to drive your Tesla in Telosa. Maybe Elon Musk will build an even better version of this city on Mars

The problems with this extremely goofy idea are many.

If you want racial diversity with this kind of engineered society then the only races you can have are Whites and some Asian computer scientists. You're in the middle of the dessert so water infrastructure will be a key challenge. That means engineers, muni bonds, taxes and good relations with your host state, which can always turn off the water.

Since nobody can own land and environmental regulations will be harsh, speculators and entrepreneurs will think twice before relocating here. If your vision of diversity includes migrants from south of the border and American blacks, you need welfare, social services, cops and jails.

End Result: educated White liberals working to take care of a growing population of hostile no White people.

See? Just like California.

If I had a billion dollars, an isolated city with 50,000 slaves would seem like a worthwhile investment.

Almost all of them would be chicks.

Call it Instagramania, and get all the idiots clogging the locker rooms at my gym while they pose into the mirrors to move there.

Marc Lore said he was using an in depth screening process. I wouldn't be surprised if the screening included intelligence testing and psychological. Smart but submissive.

So this billionaire wants to build a city in an isolated area, populate it with ethnic minorities, lgbt, white liberals and marxists, and enable them to live separately from the rest of us.

Has he got a GoFundMe page, because I for one would cheerfully put my own capital behind such a noble and positive venture.

So basically just like China and any other authoritarian country which doesn't regard civil rights.

If he actually goes through with this all he'll have is Port Au Prince in the dessert, only with cooler buildings, but sadly no flying cars.

I'm going to fill out an application just to see what happens. I'll report the results here.

Incidentally, the Talosians were a race of evil mind control beings who kidnapped Captain Christopher Pike in the first Star Trek pilot.

What happened to the Talosians?

Talosians were once a warp-capable, technologically advanced culture but a nuclear holocaust left their planet virtually uninhabitable and killed most of the species.

This will not work just for the simple fact that he will not have enough water and more importantly water rights.

U won't ever get a utopia on earth because of the very flawed nature of human character. It won't happen.

"Elitist wants to build isolated city filled with 50,000 slaves"--but will the females be splendidly pneumatic?

Utopia is a great place until you get there wrote:

DING-DING-DING!

They'd probably end up locating it in Utah, one of the listed possibilities. Realistically, an LDS-based culture might work best in such a place.

Hunger Games is here for real. Either they will have to pick from the top of the echelon for diversity groups or they will be another rioting and looting on the streets down the line.

That is not exactly the most neutral description of it.

"plans to offer its citizens equal access to education, healthcare, and transportation. Residents would get around in autonomous vehicles, and the city would run on renewable energy, Telosa's website promised.

While citizens of Telosa would be able to build their own homes and sell them, the city would maintain ownership of the land itself, Lore told USA Today's Scott Gleeson on Sunday. He called his vision for the city "equitism" - a mashup of equality and capitalism.

"The sole purpose of creating a city in the desert would be so it's owned by the community, basically take all the appreciation of the land and give it back to the citizens," Lore told USA Today. "Taxes paid will go back to the city for infrastructure - roads, tunnels and bridges - so everyone would know exactly where their money is going.""
