This all sounds like roleplaying trying to use fantasy sounding words.
How so? Please elaborate. What could be worded differently?
no one talks like this in normal life. I dont think the word root is being used right to begin with, but it's not very descriptive anyway. And then it's shit like, "deliciously" sustainable? Words like "shade of", and just literally saying artistic view of the future, makes this sound like an art movement, or other words things with no practical value. "Augmenting" "championing" all of this is "fantastical".
Use words like cheap, practical, efficient, easy.
oh no wonder, ETH, it's crypto pyramid schemes, it all falls apart if you talk normally
Yeah, idk but this comment seems a bit ignorant of the fact that other people use different words than you and whatever (boring sounding) publications you're exposed to.
And "things with no practical value", is absolutely a false statement. Just because you've blinded yourself to the practicality and usefulness of art, doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
Tho I will concede that your list of boring, sterile and utilitarian words there might be helpful in convincing establishment capitalists, since those are what they care about.
All that being said, your voice becomes uniquely important in taking the flowery prose us more artsy folk use, and converting them into the nutrient dense, flavorless block of knowledge that you can share to the people who need words like "easy" and "cheap" to sell them on a sustainable future.
You're doing gods work lol
I dont think you know what the word practical means. I make a living with art. I sell ideas, expressions of abstract feelings, things for your brain to enjoy. It has value, but not a practical one. Its not a tangible benefit, its not feeding the hungry, its not sheltering the homeless, its not moving people where they need to go, its not supporting anyones physical life. I have great respect for those doing practical work, theyre who solarpunk need. Otherwise your utopia will stay imaginary and theoretical.
