You know almost every power generator in the world is a steam engine?

You know how easy it is to make a steam engine? Everybody could have thier own generator on a garage pad. Then we could all work on creating perpetual energy for our selves. But the government would have to learn to share when someone figures it out rather than take it for themselves.

Alot of the problems we have in the world we only think we cant solve because weve been raised to be reliant on the system. Would we have starving or homless if anyone was aloud to grow food anywhere? Instead the majority is adicted to the news and social media thinking the only life is a 9-5 were we scrounge to balance food and rent.

Humans are far more intelligent and resilient than we are lead to believe. If you broke off from society, what are you capable of? What and where would you go off and learn?

The steam engine (otherwise known as the external combustion engine) tends to carry less pollutants through more complete cumbustion. The main disadvantages in operation being the warm up/cool down times, compared to the instant "on/off" of internal combustion and electric. Plus the concentation of so many fires in close proximity and the need to ventilate for safety. Urban society would need to be rethought.😷

@whowasthatmaskedman it does anyway. Its chaos. Property lines are getting smaller and smaller to cram more people in but the value is going way up so even a small house is way over priced. (Atleast here). I think the general population would become more intelligent with freedom like that because rather than doomscrolling were all working on engineering prototypes for ourselves for the purpouse of a free lifestyle.

Ideally i think major cities should be disbanded into villages of like 2000 people across the land.

@GuyWithOpinions Maybe in a couple of centuries we will. But what we have now is a follow up to the industrial revolution, Where everyone flocked to the cities for work. In the end, renewable energy and batteries will make "off the grid". practical. But peoplke will still want to earn a living..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman hopefully with the advance of renewable energy, robots and factories we wont rely on currency in the future.

@GuyWithOpinions I see the idealist in you isnt dead. Good for you. In history the pattern is a pattern of disasterous necessity and greed that drives progress..But I can hope you are right..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman yes. Your right. Iv been dwelling on such realizations myself as i look through human history. I think we have potential for change if guided in the right direction but trust is low these days. Maybe with purpose.

@GuyWithOpinions But we need people with your attitude. I sincerely hope you hang onto it.. But think in practical terms for your own future. You will last longer that way..😷
