This week, we learn the story of the Diapers dot com billionaire who wants to build a utopian city in the desert based on the principles of Georgism. Does this sound like The Line? Well, it’s been compared to it by the same credulous weirdos who love that, too. Also, a startup!

Not because they believe it, but because enough people make decisions based on astrology that it has a measurable effect on the market ¹. Meaning that there's now an astrological feedback loop in our phony baloney financial system. 1 https://www.nakedcapitalism.com/2021/02/an-ancient-greek-approach-to-risk-and-the-lessons-it-can-offer-the-modern-world.html (anecdotal, but plausible)
