Working on a lecture on solarpunk / utopian futures and how utopian ideas seem utterly stupid and unachievable. Then after we DO achieve them, we forget they were ever utopian and consider them normal.
Like the concept of a weekend.
Once a preposterous idea and now the cadence by which we live our lives. Weekdays are workdays and weekends are not. As if their sunsets have different colours.
I think it's good to remind ourselves that we have made utopias happen.
