Jul 11 2011: I hope if you build this city you should really break the city concept forget how cities are make them how they should be, make it greener with emphasis on sports, education, health if you are going to change the rules, change the rules
Apr 12 2011: well i recently read a book called the fear of freadom by erich fromm in wich the basic idea is how whe cannot free ourselves because by doing so we retreat from society we become us, but this makes us sad because it makes us feel alone so we have the need of belonging to society and the only way to do this is by sacrificing a part of us if not all in order to be what you call mediocre
i think this may answer your second question...
and i think the only way of stop being mediocre is for people to do what they are happy doing with people who are also happy doing that and doing it because they want to i guess like a university for kids in witch they would explore what they like since the beginning and devote their lives to their passion and have a job as soon as they leave ...
its really a complicated matter you know how to know what can a person be extraordinary at its the key if this comes in the genes maybe that way ... i think for starters we should divide schools in art phisical education and ciences and let people combine stuff into what they want maybe like that and not sufocating the kids with grades just like learn what you want ... just thoughts saludos
