    Except this is the problem with humanity. You can’t justify anything over 50 years which means we’re always inhibited into being a short sighted civilization. Sometimes it takes 100’s or 1000’s of years.

      If this project is an example of long sighted achievement then it’s not going to motivate people to embrace long term efforts.

          90% is optimistic. There’s certainly going to be multiple major wars ahead, and climate change. Could you imagine people spending the little resources they have on the most uninteresting art work they could have designed, when they’re struggling to feed themselves?

      Not that, it’s just ugly. The wait part is neat, but the final design is just, not fun to look at.
