There's this old manga where they depict the same idea. The city is called Tiphares, and in it, all adults undergo a surgery where they get their brain taken out (which gets added to the supercomputer) and in its stead they get a nice chip installed.
This is all a surprise for the inhabitants, of course.
This... probably has nothing to do with what you wrote tho...
Silly me I thought Kim Kardashian hiring a crew with snow machines to create a winter scape on her $16M California estate replete with/Chanel themed Christmas trees was frivolously excessive. You, know. Because she had a hankering for snow where it doesn’t snow.
Keep this in mind the next time the rich tell you not to drive, fly, touch your thermostat, use too much water, fire up your gas stove, or anything else that shockingly might please you.
Think about how much energy and resources such a uselessly frivolous project building a skyscraper on an asteroid is? But you’re wasteful. Using up too many precious resources say the elite whom, just like during Covid, are free to do whatever they please.
Sounds like a Freemason project as tribute to their Luciferian agenda. Check out Jerome Armstrong's recent post about their Analemma and other astrological/numerological beliefs:
Also, it is interesting to note that there are currently 88 comments on your post, so I'll be the one to pull it out of the death-cult frequencies, haha.
I was never a bully, but I did hang a fellow high school student upside down on a tetherball pole back in the day, before politically correctness emasculated men and destroyed femininity. I had to struggle, though, as my victim wasn't cooperating! We are still friends, although living thousands of miles apart. But some of my colleague students did that to folks that did not shared their friendship (true bullies))... So... do they want to hang us upside-down, and expect that we will go willing?
[P.S.: I do found the notion intriguing, but, hell, we don't need this crap. "Just because you can dream it - and maybe even technologically achieve making it - does not mean you should do it..."
Haha, sci-fi in the now. We have become so narcissistic that rather than compassionately save the planet or bridge the wage gap or save democracy or provide housing to the homeless we do this? When the next creation of sentient beings digs through the rubble of earth I wonder how they will interpret this barbaric blaze into modernity. You are the Nero fiddling away...
I have a great idea. Zuck and Oprah and Bezos and all their friends should buy a place post haste. What could go wrong? Maybe it would fall from orbit and burn up in the atmosphere? One can dream.
Skyscraper architects are some of the most vapid, vain, unpractical and idiotic soul suckers ever to grace this earth. I have never heard more idiocy in university than in the school of architecture. They have the same parlances as the ******* Studies folks, and logic, practicality and conservatism are banned. No one is a more utopian progressive than a city architect. The trio of the realtor, developer and architect merrily trot together ruining everything in their path.
Space Elevator: Also referred to as a space bridge, star ladder, and orbital lift, a space elevator is a proposed type of planet-to-space transportation system. The main component would be a cable (also called a tether) anchored to the surface and extending into space.
Skyhook: This is a concept for travel to and through space that involves the idea of very long, very strong, tapered cables, spinning so that their tips move at or near orbital velocity.

Imagine ascending to the stars not with a roaring rocket, but with the smooth glide of an elevator. This might sound like a scene straight from a sci-fi novel, but for architect Jordan William Hughes, it’s a design that has recently earned him a €10,000 innovation prize. Envisioned as a greener and more efficient alternative to conventional space travel, Hughes’ space elevator concept has been recognized for its visionary approach to reaching the cosmos.
Yes, my first thought was that this was close to an untethered space elevator. Those seem a lot more practical than this proposed upside-down building.
Seems like something that long and thin, free-floating, would be subject to incredible stresses. It would have to be very strong and somewhat flexible. Much less practical than your standard science fictional space station's more compact and efficient shape.
As you point out, they don't seem serious partly because of the crappy website. Also, I have issues with "Using the earth’s orbit, the company said the structure would be able to return to its same place in the sky each day after travelling between the northern and southern hemispheres." Seems like a really weird way of describing something in earth orbit, which is an entirely different thing from "earth's orbit". "Earth's orbit" is the annual motion of the Earth around the sun.
I would imagine Dubai would benefit from a space elevator more than an idiotic trophy structure. The idea has been around for probably 40 or 50 years. Perhaps the L-5 enthusiasts originated the concept.
Great idea! Since they'll be standing upside down anyway, at their stand-up desks, with the blood rushing to their heads, they won't even notice the radiation.
Not only does this seem like a disaster waiting to happen (until humans figure out the quantum energy/polarity of gravity which I'm sure is many years away)--think of what those billions of dollars could be used for to enrich so many "mundane" projects and benefit so many here at home. It seems we need to get control of this insane asylum we're currently living in!
Someone's been reading to much Gunnm/Battle Angel Alita it seems.
For a fun time, check the definition/meaning of "ana-" and "lemma" and consider what they mean when put together as in the name of the proposed building.
Actually, Analemma is a pretty clever name for it. Makes more sense to me than the separate meanings of ana and lemma. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Analemma
The city is an entity….it is alive, it is conscious, it lives in symbiosis with the human species. There is an energy exchange that is equal and balanced and understood. The entity communicates through mind form with the human species for its needs.
Proliferation of crystal cells and nanotech are combined to create the core structure, and the utilization of biological life only can be incorporated into the growth of the living entity.
Theres an aura or field around the entity and it's floating. Earth will be freed from her shackles of steel and concrete.
All humans work is supporting the entity. (I wrote this awhile back after deep meditation...autorwriting)
Will they launch you over the poop 💩 on the sidewalks

That is our future according to gates & kurzweill
What’s a manga 🤷♀️
Oh wow, I didn't know that! And certainly has nothing to do with what I wrote... :)

Very astute, GLK! That is how the aspiring "owners" think in their screwed up heads!

Not sure if by "the idea" you're referring to a space elevator, or the idiotic trophy structure.
Space elevators figure in a lot of science fiction.
This is far too ludicrous to even discuss. What the hell?!
…and yet, here are people discussing this ridiculousness anyway.🙄
Well, if they just wanted some wacko conceptual design to garner attention for the company, mission accomplished.
My thoughts exactly!
Great idea! Since they'll be standing upside down anyway, at their stand-up desks, with the blood rushing to their heads, they won't even notice the radiation.

What could possibly go wrong? Would you want to live in NY City while this is being constructed, most probably by the lowest cost contractors? duh...

>blushing< Didn't think of the compound!
But I'm a little proud of myself for not going for the obvious joke on the pronounciation of Ana L Emma...
Theranos on steroids! You got that right Tessa!!
Architects with a Sustainable screw loose.
Ha!!! And I wonder if they have a loose screw or if they are just straight out scammers. I think the latter is more likely! :)
