I got into a little tangent on city demographics today.
So some megacities:
Karachi
Lagos
Shanghai
All these cities dwarf every city in the US in population.

By the time of the fall of the west, it was less than 500,000
Within a century of that it was maybe 50,000, despite reconquest into the Byzantine Empire. It was not until the 1940s that Rome reached its Imperial highpoint once again.

Are you in the office right now?
The last two days the Coast Guard captain has stopped by my cube area to see if people were really here.
Most of the office is gone though.
what even is an office, when you think about it
skippy are you wearing pants
Do I?
Do I dare?
I try to keep at least two Apple products on me at all times

fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Of course the base economic reasons are pretty obvious. Centralization of production and so on.
But then when you think about it, a lot of modern urbanization was about the industrial revolution and industrial work. As we move towards automation and needing fewer people to keep a city running will there be a possible reversing of the current course? As there will be less need for the centralization of a work force as a major driver for populations collecting into a single space.

I assume this measurement in in feet
I just read the other day that the trend is projected to continue
I guess today about half of the world's population lives in cities -- projected to increase to 70% by 2050

I wonder if that's the case in more developed countries though
