>solarpunkwhat does it mean?
>>7708054mostly it means "shiny future building; but also: trees"
>>7708054can't you see?
>>7708038>>7708038thanks for this awesome thread op
>>7708329your welcome anon hope you got something from it>>7708054if cyberpunk is a dystopic future with low life + high tech, solarpunk is a optimist outlook on the future, with susteinable and ecofriendly tech in a post-capitalist world
will post moar later
>>7708373>post-capitalist world>looks like the Apple design team jerked off over everything
might post more later if I see interest
>>7708038many thanks OPwas always attracted to this kind of imagery and never knew it was called solar-corebig ups <3
I'm terrified of heights so some of these places would scare the bejesus out of me. Cool thread though.
Do you think a cyberpunk-leaning or solarpunk-leaning future is more likely?
>>7711295cyberpunk is basically " Shibuya at night"
>>7711295we live in cyberpunk already. if neon lights are that important to you fucking trannies go live in the shenzen district under CCP
>>7711525Incredibly based
>>7711525based post
>>7708043still looking for F94
>>7711295Id prefer solar desu
>>7711295we're already living in cyberpunk/biopunk, just in its starting phase
>>7708409phallic
>>7711295late to the party, but we are already verging on the dystopian futures we were warned about in entertainment media for decades.Our resource use per person is growing seemingly exponentially. We are going to reach a point where solar is going to be our only actual source of reliable energy to feed the needs. Unless we as people entirely change the way we handle things, we are going to need to make dyson swarms, or rings to funnel energy directly to earth in a more usable format from the sun.I personally think that greed and power, will prevail and we will never get to a "post scarcity" utopia like star trek. the reality to me thats more likely is we will just sort of merge solarpunk, and our current cyberpunk, into our own real dystopian deal.I prefer the highly idealized 1950/1960 future world that solarpunk art seems based on....And its always been my dream since a kid to live in that world we were promised...but I just dont see that happening.
Thanks for the thread, I believe in the human potential to make a peaceful existence
Scanned through - I dont think this was posted
>>7717394nice!
>>7708373>post-capitalistGrow the fuck up and get a job
>>7708038Solarpunk is something like Tomorrowland (2015)
>>7718231I mean, a cyberpunk world would probably be a post-scarcity one, with abundant things for everyone there would be no need for economic calculus
>>7719838No, cyberpunk is hyper-urban, hyper-orwellian, hyper-capitalist and hyper-scarcity. Cyberpunk settings are dystopias with corruption, computers and internet connectivity. Giant, multinational corporations have for the most part replaced governments as centers of political, economic, and even military power.
>>7718231Get in cagie, wagie.
>>7708054Cucked atompunk, repackages Syd Mead
>>7717200Solar energy sucks and manufacturing solar panels suck. We need to pick nuclear energy back up. Things like Thorium reactors are incredible.
>>7708038love this thread
>>7717246Same, except i also believe in fascism being the only way to realize it.
>>7717394>1920x1062why
>>7717283liked this one enough to crop out the watermark/signature and resize it to 1920x1080, for anyone who wants
>>7716766>1920x1031are you people serious
>>7717200Energy won't be a trouble, because the lack of many other resources (due to overpopulation) will kills us long time before that.
>>7708527To me, solarpunk seems less like 'post-capitalist post-scarcity' and more like 'small population, almost every citizen is their own producer, scarcity still exists but there's just not enough people to take up ALL of the resouces'so, in essence, a society where almost everyone is an ethical millionaire/billionaire
>>7719950>hyper-orwellianIsn't one of the mainstays of Cyberpunk an extreme lack of safety and constant crime out of select havens reserved for the rich? How can that exist in a system with strong surveillance, punishment, and societal control?
>>7723643cyberpunk society is based on 80's NYC, also it's just fiction, it does not need to make sense
>>7721070why would you stab the floor like that you dumb woman
>>7708039the lack of contrast is outstanding
>>7718613I looked this up and I'm so glad you posted this. Thanks anon.
>>7708527>Apple>Using colors that aren't white and grayApple is so stringently white even /pol/ tells them to fucking calm down.
>>7717200just go ahead and say it.... You want to kill billions of people because bill gates told you so
>>7718231Keep eating the boot slave
>>7730352A gator has entered the chat...
>>7708054Embrace solarpunk

>>7711884>>7714476>>7720232>>7722570>>7727759>>7730659>Humanity will never become a post-modern, semi-tribalistic, "minimalistic" solarpunk utopia.Why even continue our species bros?
>>7731975Fascists wanting cyberpunk and hating green lush cities? Are you literally retarded? Capitalists are the ones wanting a cyberpunk future. Both fascists and anarchists would prefer a solarpunk future
>>7732506You really got no clue, facism, libertarianism and also anarchism was always favouring big industry. Always promoted polluting. Extremist ideologies did never care about nature at all.Mind control and supression is quintessential cyberpunk and quintessential facism.
>>7732772>>7731975And communism is somehow ok?
>>7732772>facismIs that prejudice against ugly folk?
>>7732772You're a retard : Fascism promote industrialization for the independence/need of the nation/group. Communism promoted big industry for the good of the soviet republic. both could have ecological measure (preservation of naturel space and biodiversity, promotion of green living environment) but when it came to real politics, all regime where pretty much the same.
>>7732773In soviet-style "communist" regimes the state behaves like an evil mega corporation. This is definitely not good for people and nature. I know what I am talking about, I was born in eastern Europe. Solarpunk society should be more like a green social democracy.
>>7732882also, no one promote polluting.
>>7732883This. Fucking dictatorship and "planned economy" model - as if any government organ ever really knew what the future demand for anything would look like, let alone on a five year timeline. "Oh no, we don't need more physicists right now. You've been enrolled for becoming a chemistry teacher instead, thank us later". Fucking what mate. "We've calculated / guessed / lol a demand of only 5000 cars for the next three months, so that's exactly how many we'll produce. If more demand comes in, we'll just put people on the waiting list. What do you mean, there already is a list stretching back the last six years and we haven't caught up to that yet? Can't be, the news report was adamant that the numbers matched, so that's the reality we're going with for now."Fucking messed up "communist states", I'm not a big fan of the general communism idea in the first place but those states really dragged the name through the dirt by perverting it with sheer idiocy.
i really like this thread, and i really like you all for posting these> You could help direct the world, on its careening trajectory, a bit more toward heaven and a bit more away from Hell. Once having understood Hell, researched it, so to speak–particularly your own individual Hell–you could decide against going there or creating that. You could aim elsewhere. You could, in fact, devote your life to this. That would give you a Meaning, with a capital M.
>>7732772>Creators of the forest industry>Most of the nature preservation laws we know>Somehow not the ones striving for solarpunkYour brain on communism
Reminder that solar punk has no association with punk and the name not only means nothing but makes no sense
Solarpunk is just cope for having no wildlife left and raping the earth. It reminds me of that silicon valley art style with disproportionately shaped people with how overly optimistic and happy it is.
>>7708054What the native canadians will do now that they have land rights.
>>7708054Cyberpunk is dystopian futureSolarpunk is an optimistic, bright, nature filled technologically advanced future
I want sneedpunk
>>7711295cyberpunk is here, but solarpunk would be nice
>>7708385>>7708383>>7708390Why post those? Overwatch is such an ugly game
