Put up and then taken down?
Sorry, unless you've got evidence on Internet Archive or a similar system I'm calling fake in this one.

Look 8 billion people is not sustainable. So the "old ways" won't be practical in the not so far future. You can blame the people who try to discuss it and come up with a solution. Or everybody who gets pregnant.
Doesn't make a difference, it is what it is.
And if you can't tell the piece about the city and the AI and robots is at this point in time still 75% science-fiction it might be better if you stay out of the discussion.
You're probably far beyond 30, right? Because the kidz these days already are pretty used to not owning objects of daily use.
That doesn't mean you only got self-assembled crap, it means you rent and share things that would otherwise be way too expensive.

that's some insane rambling, buddy.
The writer is because I participated in a short story happening here on ATS.
And I'm not a communist. Since this isn't my first day here I just say one last thing:
You can kick and scream that won't change the fact that the past is never coming back.
Ressources as we use them now means that "end" will come during our lifetime and it's quite frankly nothing but a staple of ignorance to use the commercial of a capitalistic discussion group as sign that an ominous "they" are "communists" who want to enslave you.
My biggest concern is all the people who do not live in our city. Those we lost on the way. Those who decided that it became too much, all this technology. Those who felt obsolete and useless when robots and AI took over big parts of our jobs. Those who got upset with the political system and turned against it. They live different kind of lives outside of the city. Some have formed little self-supplying communities. Others just stayed in the empty and abandoned houses in small 19th century villages.
