Makes more sense to me to just not bother with “owning” a lot of matter.
I agree, but, unfortunately, the world hasn’t been converted to secularized Presbyterianism yet—and getting on with that conversion, however worthwhile it would be, is even less realistic than building capsule towers.
(I’ll admit that I didn’t pay much attention to the specifics of that section, but instead pattern-matched it to capsule towers, which have the advantage of already existing. Well, there’s one that already exists. In Japan. And it’s probably going to be torn down soon, but it fell into the modernist failure-mode of designing specifically for the exact opposite of durability, so that’s both not surprising and easily fixed next time.)
If I haven’t made your case for you already, what’s unrealistic/inefficient about capsule towers?
