    • why is this guy given attention?

    • does his “plan” have any substance beyond “things will be awesome, not cringe, just all the good stuff and none of the bad stuff”?

    • how is he working towards making it a reality?

    • does he know anything about city planning (playing gompooter gaems doesn’t count)?

    • does he know anything about ____?

    • why this guy and not any of the other 523.324.237 other 29-year old faildudes around the world who also had a great idea for a utopia after smoking DMT or reading a sci-fi novel or playing a bideo bame?

      why is this guy given attention?

      Because it’s Peter Thiel’s project.

      Although Brown’s ideas may sound far-fetched and idealistic to some, he’s managed to get investors to buy in and claims to have a $500 million line of credit to get Praxis started.

      One of them, indirectly, is Peter Thiel. According to Brown, Thiel is an investor in Pronomos Capital which has invested in Praxis, although he adds, “beyond that, I can’t comment.”

      New York Post is owned by News Corp, Murdoch, who is in cahoots with Thiel.

        imagine having so much money and so little connection to reality that you just feel like blowing astronomical sums on some average dudebro’s vibes-based utopia scheme
