   @amphetamine @cocoron that's some high expectations you have of me, friend ;p

   um

   solarpunk is what happens when we take all of this technology we have, and decide that maybe instead of chasing infinite exponential growth that's impossible we'll try to build a world with it that can coexist with nature and provide for everyone so they can do more of what they really want.

   i'm 0/1 on expressing things well so take it with a grain of salt. i maybe missed some things and overemphasized others

      @amphetamine @cocoron or maybe we can break the word down and explain from there.

      solar: we have this bonanza of free energy from the sun, and it's enough to provide a good quality of life for everyone if we manage and distribute it well enough. but it's not an infinite supply to fuel exponential growth for its own sake.

      punk: the system we have now is not nearly as equitable or fair as it should be. some people get rich, more get oppressed and dumped on. so we fight to end this and do better
