Visioning the Future?
The Addendum concludes with promoting the Venus Project as the most coherent /
credible / useful alternative to what seems to be a breakdown of our
current designs. http://www.thevenusproject.com/
The Venus Project idea seems to be part of what
Holmgren would term the the full-blown "techno-fantasy" future option
... although they talk like they support the "green-tech stability"
futures one ... a little confusing, but that might be good mythological
design in the end (given how many trekkie fans there are out there...)
But it could just be that they don´t have enough permaculture designers
in their Think Tank (as they describe the Venus Project), because some
of their premises sound quite close to ours ..
see http://www.futurebydesign.org/about.html
(talk of this in oct08 on the openpermaculture list)
Contrast the Venus Project very high-tech visioning of the future with the (more permacultural?) very minimalist vision in the comedy-sci-fi movie "La Belle Verte"
