Cleopatra lived closer in time to us than the construction on the great pyramids.

I remember buying a very specific blacksmith vise from someone on a forum where I spent a lot of time.

I never really discussed with herb specifically on this forum except to arrange the sale but when I met her it was like meeting a friend.

She was in a meet with other people from this forum the week before, she told me about the projects they had and gave me extra pieces of exotic wood and Damascus steel that she made with another member for me to work with.

We didn’t knew each other at all be the fact that we belonged to the same online community was enough for us to be instantly friend.

A full SolarPunk utopia ! The climate change is there by we are adapting to it. People are now living in community that still have a relatively advanced level of technology but they are focused on being substainable. However for most of the daily life the technology used is mostly low tech.

The concept of nature died with the ancient world. Because now everything is nature, the conceptual separation between nature and civilisation collapsed. Now cities, communities and fields or forest are interlaced, rather than exploiting their environnement societies are nurturing it. The food is local, there is a few electric trucks transportation is mostly done by bike and cargo bike. Everything is repairable, most of the energy is produced locally with renewables energy.

Overall we might have lost some material comfort but gained on the quality of life.

I know it’s an utopia, I can’t be sure that it’s gonna happen but the one thing I can be sure it’s that if we don’t try it’s never gonna happen. I believe that or current thermo-industrial civilization started to collapse but I believe that we can still have some very happy lives after that.
