Can't stay ahead of it
Can't stay ahead of this shit!
Via ZH, an implementation of the idiot big-head "future".
The kingdom of Hejaz, created by the breakup of the Ottoman Empire, later joined with Nejd to make Saudi. A couple of smaller neutral zones between Saudi and Iraq lasted until 1975 in practice, and until 1991 on paper.
This wild robotic celebration of rich demonic fuckheads is the EXACT OPPOSITE of sharia law. It's a huge insult to God.
Called Neom (a mix of the Greek word for “new” and Arabic word for “future”), the project aims to construct a $500 billion city, covering 10,000 squares miles of coastline and desert in northwest Saudi Arabia. With its mixture of high-tech amenities and luxury services like restaurants and shops, the goal is to build what the Wall Street Journal describes as a superior to “Silicon Valley in technology, Hollywood in entertainment and the French Riviera as a place to vacation.” The in-development Saudi Arabian city-state will have robot maids, flying taxis, and glow-in-the-dark sand, according to confidential planning documents reviewed by The Wall Street Journal. An artificial moon will light up the sky every night, and a Jurassic Park-style island will let visitors mingle with robot dinosaurs.Straight out of big-head sci-fi. Humans freed from everything that makes us happy and useful and smart. As usual the "reporters" know nothing of plain old geography:
In addition, we are being told that this will be “the world’s first independent international zone”, and many are concerned about what exactly that is going to mean.Mohammed bin Salman originally came up with the idea for the city when he “pulled up a map of his country on Google Earth and saw its northwest quadrant was a blank slate.”Not the first independent international zone by a long fucking shot. There have been plenty of independent neutral zones devoted to trade and tourism. See Danzig and Trieste for Euro examples. One of the biggest neutral zones was RIGHT FUCKING THERE.
