In the minds of the British commentariat, the UK government is an utterly dysfunctional and hapless apparatus that they want to go and sort out the problems of other countries.
Like if you spent years complaining that this government is an utter mess, the last thing you want them to do is take that incompetence elsewhere
The hilarious thing about this is that they genuinely believe it when they say things like 'the world is looking to Britain for moral leadership'.

Every city has at least one building that is so ugly that everyone loves it. Which is yours?

How do we go in the space of a few years, a few months rather, from 'the future is urban' to 'the death of the city'? A thread on what I think we're getting right and wrong about the current moment
For the last 20 years, thinking about planning and cities has been dominated by 'The Urban Agenda' (see lse.ac.uk/cities/publica… ) but in the aftermath of Covid there have been foreboding pronouncements about the end of the city like the article above politico.eu/article/the-de…
The tipping point for 'the urban age' was a statistical milestone, sometime over the past decade half of the world's population was living in cities. The dominant discourse in professional and academic circles was that dense cities are the future and we should plan accordingly.

Counterpoint: with everything we know about air travel, space travel will be ten times as annoying. Let's construct the scenario:
The journey itself: you're on a journey to Mars, of course you're going to get the middle seat, stuck between a chatty person and a person who keeps falling asleep and leaning on you, for 7 months! Add a few screaming babies around.
When you get there, do you think you will just wander to the local village and have authentic food? It will be like an all inclusive resort where you're stuck inside a plastic bubble and the urine recycling machine breaks on the first day.

Religions make a big deal of the afterlife but have you ever wondered what the food would be like? Surprisingly there's very little written about it.

Catering in the afterlife, a thread.
First of all, let's figure out the numbers. It is estimated that 80 billion people have lived throughout history which means there's at least 70 billion people in the afterlife.
They're definitely not doing sit-down meals, it has to be a buffet.
So let's figure out the logistics of feeding 70 billion people three meals a day. This will be the longest buffet queue ever. By the time you get there all the good stuff will be gone, and you would be left with some stale salad and the zucchini quiche nobody wanted.
