Dear friends and colleagues,
I been working to finished this article “The 12th Hour
for Arcology” before I left for my trip to
The purpose of the trip is to understand the consciousness that built
such great architectural structures. In Plato’s Commonwealth, Socrates

sustainable development. The essay challenges the current direction of
retrofitting the old civilization with green technologies and argues that it is

the global debate about what to do about global heating, urban sprawl, resource
depletion, over population, and all the other ills caused by living in an ill

build arcology through public funds and awareness to the American people.
I would appreciate any feedback you have, and I hope to bring back
deeper insights from my trip.
In Lovolution and Peace,
