>>2118412Do you like trains? I like trains, especially the Trans-Siberian railway, it is the biggest system of tracks in the world that will soon be connected to the Chinese tracks to connect Europe with China, as per the Chinese One Road policy.
Do you like megalopolises, the idea of them?
Futurist George Fieraru wrote a paper on the future of global cities, and said the cities will connect, and claimed they will be gigantic, naming one BosWash, a long line of cities joining into one gigantic endless city.
Also, do you like the GLONASS system. It is the Russian version of GPS used for military purposes. Russian also have a system of "cosmic defence".
And since the planet is getting smaller, do you think the concept of a global village is becoming true, and terrorism, right wing violence, left wing coercion, is endemic not of the cosmopolitan thinking but the village element of a global world?
Also, favourite African cities, states, and projects.
Mine is Kinshasa and Lagos.
Favorite project is biometric cash, just the idea of everything being high-tech fascinates me.
My favorite train is Loco046, RUSSIAN HO Model Diesel train DR1P with middle coach system. I also particularly like the new Chinese models that are being developed and the Chinese railway system, much more than the theoretical hyperloop proposed by Elon Musk.
Do Africans like sci-fi concepts? I know heavy metal is popular in Botswana (worked there as construction), and in Benin the juju priests now advertise on phones.
