Remnants of the Biosphere. — Ah, yes, the idealism of the biosphere. You’d think they could have least used this structure as a hothouse for tomatoes. This is utopianism’s end-result. Always.

Photographer Noah Sheldon got in touch the other week with a beautiful series of photos documenting the decrepit state of Biosphere 2, a semi-derelict bio-architectural experiment in the Arizona desert.

    #20 I think you’re conFused. I think you mistook with yourself.

    It is not a mirror you’re looking at conFused, it’s a computer monitor, so stop doing your self affirmations in here, you’re embarrassing yourself

    Yeah, John, everybody involved with the Biosphere project thought they were creating a Utopian world.

    You should read what you type before hitting “submit” sometimes…

    If I recall this was a private venture. In other words not my problem.

    I thought it was stupid the first time I heard it while getting my BS in biology. Oh so many years later I look back, yep it was stupid.

    I thought it was stupid the first time I heard it while getting my BS

    If you got a BS then yes, you are stupid.

    How the hell can anyone get a degree and not understand the premise of an experiment.

    Utopianism or “SCIENTIFIC” HUCKSTERISM ?

    #25 That fact that you don’t get that there are stupid experiments puts all your rants into perspective.
