>I wish we lived in a Solarpunk world ^^ Anyone else?
I think we will soon. I've studyed western historical cycles & there has been a "return to nature" phase every 80 years (since at least 1290). Each one is a flip from a cyncial-nihilist/dogmatic era to a optimistc spiritual one, BUT it's also a reaction against the previous spiritual era.
I think it will be "solar punk" because the previous era (60s/70s) was anti-tech+pro-mystical, and the counter to that will be pro-tech anti-mystical which would basically be solar punk:
>working with the soil become popular, hydroponics booms, locally made products/art boom
>people do meditation trances and DMT in clinical settings, but no one is religous per say.
>buildings get designed to be more renewable and foresty
>etc
Also you can track what elites on the cutting edge of society do (today that's tech) and they're already going that way, meaning it will trickle down to the normies as a status symbol 20 years out (example would be "upcycled" bags, normies still want Armani/etc even though elites stop buying those in the 2000s).
