#utopia — Public Fediverse posts

Inauguration d’Utopia Palmer

Voilà huit ans maintenant que naissait l’idée de créer un cinéma Utopia sur la rive droite de la Garonne. Après de longues prospections, de multiples déclinaisons du projet, un financement participatif et 18 mois de travaux : on y est ! Alors, on va fêter ça modestement mais sûrement avec non pas un, mais deux jours de festivités dans l’enceinte du nouveau cinéma Utopia Palmer. Et si le temps est clément, on débordera un peu sur la terrasse du château qui jouxte le parc Palmer de Cenon, sa nature et sa vue imprenable. On vous attend nombreux·ses ! Toutes les informations sur la page consacré aux festivités : https://bordeaux.cinemas-utopia.org/cycle/?id=7864

A quotation from Thomas More

Consequently, when I consider and turn over in my mind the state of all commonwealths flourishing anywhere today, so help me God, I can see nothing else than a kind of conspiracy of the rich, who are aiming at their own interests under the name and title of the commonwealth. They invent and devise all ways and means by which, first, they may keep without fear of loss all that they have massed by evil practices and, secondly, they may then purchase as cheaply as possible and abuse the toil and labor of all the poor. These devices become law as soon as the rich have once decreed their observance in the name of the public — that is, of the poor also!
 
[Itaque omnes has quæ hodie usquam florent Respublicas animo intuenti ac uersanti mihi, nihil sic me amet deus, occurrit aliud quam quædam conspiratio diuitum, Hæc annota lector.de suis commodis Reipublicæ nomine, tituloque tractantium. comminiscunturque & excogitant omnes modos atque artes quibus, quæ malis artibus ipsi congesserunt, ea primum ut absque perdendi metu retineant, post hoc ut pauperum omnium opera, ac laboribus quam minimo sibi redimant, eisque abutantur. Hæc machinamenta, ubi semel diuites publico nomine hoc est etiam pauperum, decreuerunt obseruari, iam leges fiunt.]

Thomas More (1478–1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, Book 2, ch. 9 “Of the Religions of the Utopians” (1518 ed.) [tr. Richards/Surtz (1964)]

More Everything Forever by Adam Becker, 2025

Tech billionaires have decided that they should determine our futures for us. According to Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, Sam Altman, and more, the only good future for humanity is one powered by technology: trillions of humans living in space, functionally immortal, served by superintelligent AIs.
