Beautiful Worlds
Welcome to the ā€˜Beautiful worldsā€™ where nature and technology have merged into a single entity. These are Ai generated and hand finished visions of solarpunk future in which I would really like our future generations to live and prosper: the future we might have if we took the very ā€œalternative routeā€ which now lies before us: replacing states and corporations which free federations of communities and cooperatives, using decentralist and ecological technologies to create a world beyond economic scarcity and social hierarchy, defined by autonomy, mutual aid, diversity, and inclusiveness. The long-term goals of solarpunk are freedom and well-being for all by adopting and developing such ecological technologies as: solar, wind, wave and geothermal energy rather than oil or gas to generate electricity; a world of decentralized eco-cities, permaculture and vertical farming, free and open-source software, open-source hardware, small-scale fabrication laboratories, micro-manufacturing, 3D-printing, and countless examples of commons-based peer-production online: meeting the maximum amount of needs, in the shortest time, using the minimum possible amount of energy. Itā€™s a world of decentralized and confederated eco-communities, using technology for human-centric and eco-centric ends rather than for accumulating power and profit ā€“ mending the metabolic rift between first nature (the natural world) and second nature (human culture) ā€“ and where social hierarchies of race, gender, sexuality, and disability are considered horror stories from the past ā€œoil ageā€. Solarpunk desires societies of polycultural ethnic diversity and gender liberation, where each person is able to actualize themselves in societal environment of free experimentation and communal caring; This philosophy proposes that in order for the social and natural worlds to reconcile, humans must first transform their relations to each other ā€“ recreating society along egalitarian, cooperative, and democratic lines ā€“ and then transform their relations towards nature ā€“ adopting an attitude to cooperation, rather than domination, towards the planet and its nonhuman forms of life.

Ethboy
Young Vitalik takes on the role of Picassoā€™s son Paulo dressed as Harlequin in this artwork but the octahedron Ethereum logo replaces the chequered pattern of the original jester outfit. Leaning against a large chair, the boy genius fiddles with his fingers in a somewhat nervous manner; nevertheless, he stares directly at the viewer with what appears to be a confident, ā€˜Mona Lisa-likeā€™ smile. Vitalik has no idea what the future has in store for him, but heā€™s prepared to face any obstacle ahead as he begins life's adventure.
