MAJOR UPDATE: The Line has been reportedly been dramatically reduced by 98.57% from being 105 miles long to just 1.5 miles long... Oh boyy!!! QOTD: do you think my take on The Line is wrong? Do you think it will succeed? đź‘€
-
If the Line doesn't succeed, we can always give it to the Night's Watch to defend us from the Night King and his White Walkers
-
If it's ever finished I think the long-term maintenance costs will be insane.
-
Hopefully no bone saws will be reserved for me for saying this, but... of course this will not succeed as described. Consider the following 1. Where will the sewage and garbage be processed for 9 million people and businesses? 2. High speed rail - how many stops will it make on the 100 mile route? if it's a 5 minute walk to the nearest train station, that suggests a stop every half mile, two hundred stops with acceleration, deceleration, stop, unload and load, for each one. This dramatically slows the average speed of the rail line, in addition to nausea-inducing acceleration and deceleration, and consuming vast amounts of energy, as well as wear and tear on the trains. 3. How will food and supplies be transported for these 9 million people? 4. What happens if there is a power failure? Suffocation? 5. How will toxic smoke from fires be managed along the great length of this structure? Until these questions are reasonably answered, this project is doomed.
-
This project involves pretty much everything humans should NOT be doing.
-
It’s basically a giant “Smart City” Prison. Once the person is in they can not get out!! Very frightening actually
-
You could apply a hiss filter to the mic signal to cut the hissing noise out in post-processing. APart from that, I'd like to see a small shard of this fully built. I'm pretty sure that they won't finish the whole project.
-
Nice to see a real person (as opposed to some disembodied AI narrator) pointing out the real world flaws of this completely bonkers fever dream. Keep up the great work! Subsrcribed.
-
They are building a 170 Km long Swedish Rocket Stove. When the first apartment in The Line catches fire, the whole line will turn into a Fire Death Trap from which there will be no escape.
-
Im an architecture student in Saudi Arabia and i cant still believe that this project is real , even tho they really started neom projects!
-
Saudi Arabia is the only country in the world that doesn't self report themselves as a democracy. (Yes even North Kore, China and Russia call themselves democratic) Pointing out that the line is a bit despotic in nature doesn't bother them.
-
This is mainly a project for shipping. The trains are meant to be fast for quick cargo transport from one end of the country to the other. I only realized that while watching this video.
-
I loved your careful unpacking, and subsequently eloquent analysis! Well done!
-
Such and excellent video!! Please do a further “deep dive” on the “technology” they are wanting too implement. All around an EXCELLENT video
-
The Desert will swallow it up with a few sand storms Better to build Chip FABs in all that silicon (sand)
-
Great summary...couldn't agree more!
-
Gotta say highly impressed I have listen to a lot of talk on this subject but the pace in which you talked about it kept it very interesting. I will be watching more videos! Keep up the good work!
-
We need critics, people who localize and study the subject so that we have ideas about the subject.
-
As of April 2024 it's already being drastically scaled back. Basically building an airport before airplanes have been invented.
-
One aspect i haven't yet seen discussed about this project: does the project documantation offer anything about how the city would be dealing with the deceased?
