All right, look, I'm aware that this is Neon epilogue part like one fucking million, but this shit is like Lord of the Rings. I can't stop. It keeps ending. And then there's another ending. And I need to emphasize to all of you. This is T.F. It's the free episode. And we got Corey Doctor O in studio today. Hello. I need to emphasize to all of you, all of you listening, that this is from an article in Dazine dated February 6th of this year.

It is the Royal Institute of British Architects President Chris Williamson, different Chris Williamson, has proposed linking nine northern cities in Britain and Ireland with a structure he calls the loop, a raised high speed railway informed by

Neon.

So they're going to build the circle, having built the line.

Yeah.

The line, the cube, the circle.

The circle is going to be like a nice little ribbon around the Irish sea.

Correct.

Famously great weather all the time.

It's a square with an infinite number of corners, really.

How do you say our ambitious project that we're proposing as a sort of a thought experiment is inspired by Neum if you want it to be anything?

Well, it's a bit like, and we're going to have it in the metaverse. God says, described by Williamson as a manifesto to inspire and provoke, the loop would connect

the English cities of Newcastle, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bangor,

Dublin, and Belfast.

And, like, I guess, I know that, like, when architects do these things, right,

they're trying to make a statement.

But if your statement is, we were inspired by Neum, what is your statement other than,

please can another government give us infinite millions?

Well, it's a bit like when a well-meaning elderly relative knows that you're

really into, say, Dungeons and Dragons and shows up with a bunch of miniatures for a different

game and says, you know, or like the horse piece from Monopoly and says, I saw you playing with

these and I thought you'd like them. Of course. When I was reading this, I was like, okay, what, why? Why have you done this? And then it was like, oh, okay, Williamson's firm worked on Neum. They are out of fucking clients. They have lost a big one. No, no, they're leveraging their experience. He says, maybe I've been too influenced by the scale, vision, and ambition of Neums
