TRASHFUTURE - *PREVIEW* We’re All Gonna Move to Bergh-Line feat. Hesse

Episode Date: July 7, 2023

We found a documentary about Neom and brought on Hesse from Seeking Derangements and Chapo Trap House's Movie Mindset podcast. It's a movie about a lot of architects with expensive eyewear making the world's wildest 3d renderings of buildings that will never, ever be built.

What if we make some kind of super Miami that 800 meters tall and 200 meters wide? That only has the 200 meters of beach, I guess. What if Mr. Worldwide was a line? What if he was more like misted equator? So Peter Coffins says, well line, all young architects are too woke. They think you shouldn't be naughty anymore. And this one is gay Austin powers, I should say.

This is the key thing about him. And that the world has had about the line. I said, that's groovy, baby. And the world is stuck in a traffic jam, but needs social interaction. The world needs a reset. Reset, five minute city. This is weft written all over at work. And BS is secret weft. It's woke. And one of the other sort of glasses guys, Roger Soto, says, you can't look at this for the first time and not react with, what are they thinking? But, or indeed the second, that had full time, but it will be the new Babylon.

A city that's currently going great as far as I'm aware. Yeah, I think it's very good. Well, famously, one of the great cities of all time, that nothing bad ever happened to. And most people living there, by the way, weren't slaves owned by a temple. No, sir. Most cities these days, they aren't focused

on the code of Hammurabi. But I think, you know, if we're going to learn the code of Hammurabi, that's the first step to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's a good idea to say that I'm not sure if it's gonna need to be adaptable. How adaptable is like a line going to be. And then they go to a glasses guy, he's like, oh yeah, we solved it because it's made of interchangeable segments. You could just take a bit out of the line, re-infuculate it and the factory, put it back in the line.

Yeah, that, Derry. Yeah, Derry, all these crazy lines that, lines, you know, pun intended, but there's all these crazy like that lines pun intended, but there's all these crazy like quotes that they say that go completely unexplained such as, it'll be like an engine where you take out a part of the line and you repair it and then you put it back. And it's like, what are you talking?

What does that mean? Like, will this thing have to have structural integrity to none of these people understand that? Will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, will, of cook, know what they're talking about, and know how much of a piss take this is, because all of them say in so many words, obviously it's not gonna stay a line. At some point in the course of this, it's just gonna turn into a normal sissy if they build it. But that kind of goes just below the surface enough

that they're like, they can couch it in these terms with adaptation and adaptability. Yeah, it in these terms of like adaptation, adaptability. Yeah, it's more. We're gonna make a line and then across and then we're gonna fill in all the quadrants. Exactly, yeah, exactly. And then you can go on co-mos and be a bit nausea.

What I enjoy though, most of all, is talking about the idea, well, yes, we're gonna have the line, it's gonna have 800 meter long segments that are sort of 200 meters high or whatever. And then as you say, we're going to, if those don't work, we can take them back to the factory, but like, you, nine million people are supposed to live there. So what like a hundred thousand people that live in that segment, they're just going to be like, they're going to wake up on a giant forklift one day heading to the line segment factory.

Yeah, I just get to tell to report to the beheading sense. It's just about the problem. Powerhouse starts playing the reconfiguring your apartment around you with the arms that build cars. Yeah, yeah. Like pump anesthesia into your food tube that comes into your line apartment. Like, MBS just like gets into Feng Shui and then all of the different line segments are just retooled so no mirrors

face doors. It's so good. There was that amazing bit where they're like, we want the line to be at the forefront of equality for women. And that's why we're building it. Look, you can't do equality for Arabia. You can't do equality for women in Saudi Arabia unless you have a big narrow city. That's so true.

Yeah. The discussion, like every, because you can't man spread in a narrow city. It should also say that they say this is going to bring a quality for women. And the next person, the next woman they talk to is the CEO's PA. And it's like, great. Thank you.

Yeah, that's not the excellent job. Everybody, like, this is, you can clearly also tell, like, the discovery channel was just like, oh, God, without Steve Irwin, we've been circling the drain for decades. We need some money over here. You know something funny that's just occurred to me is, so you know, Neom's in Saudi Arabia. And you know, you know, you know, Saudi Arabia and you know that you know Saudi Arabia is actually isn't any right? It's theoretically Saudi Arabia. You know the Saudi Arabia is a very Muslim country and you know what are the most Muslim

countries actually if you look at a league table. And we must know. Do you know they invented Islam when we pray you've got a point at Mecca right and Mecca is to the south of the Neon. You got to do the Swag Jack point. But not directly because of how long Neon's going to be, which means that on a straight line, if you want to build a Mosque in it, you're going to have to do it on an arc, and I'm really curious how they're going to intersect that in a way that you have a Mosque every five minutes, because we're doing five minute cities cities, that are different angle on a straight building.

That's just to cause people. It's like the same mosque and it's gonna be spinning around. If you wrap it, it leaves a fly. Yeah, get in the big line. It's like in like, radome on the top of the line that's been wrapped and locked on the back. Yeah, we've built a mecha-sheaking mosque. Yeah.

And it's one of the levels of the line. That's more futuristic. That is genuinely more futuristic than anything by present in the document. Yeah, well, one of the main, one of the jobs, most important jobs in the line is going to be mosque angler. Yeah. So they say, I mean, go on.

They need like a young eager architect, you can do that. So we, they say, mean go on. I mean like a young eager architect you can do that. Yeah, so we say they say every 40 years or so, there's a great convergence of state technology and planning. And that's again referring to the sort of great grand infrastructure projects of the middle of the of the post depression really. But what you think about with Neon really is, this is a great convergence of the state technology

and planning that we now have access to, because none of these designs are meshing with any kind of construction or reality. It's just the endless production of stories and renderings. And like I said, I mentioned earlier, they speak to many architects, but not a single engineer. No one involved in the construction. One of the like, what actual factors of this film is that they don't show any construction at all. Every, even the

b-roll does not allude to any kind of construction. It is all just like, there is one guy though, which the CEO of Neon shows up. And you know he's on some real 0.001% shit because he's wearing the item of clothing every extremely rich person thinks is cool to wear all the time, a Ralph Lauren Polo. And he takes them, they take some architect and a helicopter and the architect goes,

wow, a helicopter, because architects are children. And you get one shot of them sort of like on the site where he is wearing the exact same Ralph Lauren Polo shirt and a hard hat and that's the construction that's in the thing. They got to get some guys from Essex to come build this thing I think. Yeah well they talked to me about neon but I say it's a big job. Yeah it's going to be a big job. I said probably about four, five hundred billion, but just top of the edge, I'd have to go to that origin's in price. Yeah, but materials.

Now, there were a lot of the moment. Yeah, no, well, I'll talk, I'll talk to Gary in the morning and we'll sit up. I tell you what, cash in and 450 bill. And that can you do that? Sorry, this suitcase, you're giving me full of money. There's a, there's a leg in it. Now, I feel you've mixed up. of money. There's a there's a leg in it The wrongs would kiss yeah the Essex builders working on the arm is like a fund just like yeah No, I've sent me I've sent me a print is that now we've switched him right up. Yeah, we've sent him and we've sent him to re add to buy 170 kilometer long ruler Well, it's a bit sketch good at first, I said how else are you going to get his straight sunshine? Come on. Salamu alaikum, Pat. Yeah, what about what about what

about going to do like what about what about going to put up a plum lane 170 kilometer. Have a tub, get over yourself. That's also if they get British builders in to do it, like as soon as you move into the line, sunburned man, like crimson red baron-harkening. So it's like laying bricks. You just, it would just be, instead of two big mirror skyscrapers who would just be two like 500-meat,

like mile-long pebble-dash build. Yeah, the Barat home line. It's fantastic. Is this like, it's just orange brick and it's got those shitty PVC windows all the way down. Yeah, just sparking space that's totally too small for anything that's not a Toyota Yaris. Yeah, it's, it's got, it's every single like flat line peteria all of that like most of the lights, which is don't work. There's mildew right away. They just didn't bother to insulate much of it. Shocking. Five minutes to make a bab shot. All the builders are drinking monster energy.

Listening to magic. How terrible to imagine a line that's like seven hundred five minute cities in a row, but they're all different shit bits of London. There is an Alaska Fried Chicken every like 700 meters.
