Sometimes I sit here and just think about how concepts like solarpunk are considered fantastical despite its main characteristics being sustainable agriculture and healthy communities.

Something about that just stings.

For that reason I’m focusing on (very) near time futures & presence with no fantastical elements.

A bit of it is covered e.g. in a game like Floodland (it’s not really post-apocalyptic, only close to it).

The realistic side & how to get there can be explored very well with friends in https://thefuture.wtf

Also the two elements you’re mentioning have been achieved already. They just need to be replicated and sustained.

I fully believe that if we made agriculture into a smaller, community project rather than an industrial system, we'd be much better off. (2/2)

I know, the main issue, at least where I'm from, is the culture. Farmers want to do what they saw their grandfathers do. They want that feeling of tradition despite the destruction they're doing. (1/2)
