Inside billionaire Marc Lore’s utopian city: ‘Telosa’
The New York Post ^ | August 25, 2022 | Zachary Kussin

What does the city of tomorrow look like? For billionaire Marc Lore, it’s eco-friendly buildings constructed from scratch and spread across some 150,000 acres in the Southwest desert.

Lore, 51, has recently released details for his “Telosa” metropolis — Telosa being a name derived from the Greek word for “highest purpose,” Axios first reported.

It’s one of nearly a dozen proposals across the world aiming to build sustainable and ultra-modern cities from scratch that seem more science fiction than reality.

For Lore, Telosa will encompass 36 districts across a swath of Nevada, Arizona or Utah.

It will be home to 50,000 “diverse” people by 2030. Everything they need will be located within a short walk — though, should vehicles be needed, they’ll be electric and autonomous — and every building will be green-minded with rooftop panels creating renewable energy.

“We’re not just building a new city — this is a new model for society,” said Lore at a Telosa town hall meeting in July, adding that Telosa will also be “equitable” to all.

That said, he added it will be governed by “equitism,” which Axios notes appears to be a mix of democracy, capitalism and socialism.

Bjarke Ingels, the Danish architect, is behind the design. Renderings show angular towers topped with trees, multiple greenhouses, landscaped parks with walkways and exercise areas, and buildings whose large terraces look out to city and landscape views.

It should be called “New New Harmony” and it should not be in Nevada, Utah or Arizona. The only reasonable and logical state would be California.

Cool! He can name it Westworld.

Err, I don’t know about that:

“We’re not just building a new city — this is a new model for society,” said Lore at a Telosa town hall meeting in July, adding that Telosa will also be “equitable” to all.”

That said, he added it will be governed by “equitism,” which Axios notes appears to be a mix of democracy, capitalism and socialism.”

And where is the WATER for this fantasyland coming from?
And it IS political, the description drips with PC think.

Don’t believe for a minute that screwing with our politics isn’t a future plan. After the utopian cities are built and up and running, these same high minded folk will not need the riff-raff of little people using up all of the resources they will need to keep their “paradise cities” running and we will be disposed of in short order. The wef leadership has already stated that we aren’t needed any longer. You DO realize what that is shorthand for....right?

More like “Teloser”. They should put a dome over it.

“And where is the WATER for this fantasyland coming from?”

It will be natural water; not a drop from outside their sustainable political boundaries; not a drop from unsustainable groundwater supplies.

Is there a way an observer can make some quick bucks from this looming disaster?

Oh, I don’t know, “’Churches’ of Transhumanism” will spring up at every vacant corner. Guarantee no Catholic Churches with Latin Masses, though.

If the developer acts quick, he can get buses full of dreamers from New York City and Washington D.C. City.

They seem to have a surplus at this time.

Surely you jest. It's all about politics, as well as, control.

Throw acid on the face of the gun-toting robot.

It’s the only chance for survival.
