In his book Molyneaux makes the case that current aquaculture development policy is similar to the fisheries policy that preceeded it. Aquaculture is no solution, it is a high tech substitute for the degraded natural production system. In the end it will accelerate the decline of the marine environment.

The biggest problem with it, to me, was probably the same thing that attracted you: it was visionary. Also, I obtained my copy at a used book store, so I had the insight of hindsight with me. I look through the glossy pictures and colourful descriptions, then at the practical achievements made, and I just shake my head. This is of-topic question (if I can ask), but it been bugging me what is a better blog hosting service: blogspot or wordpress. Because I cannot decide. I said I only skimmed through it.

I'm just kidding, I assume you mean TMP. It was definitely Utopian, though I wouldn't say "new-agey", with the exception of the whole Spirulina algae thing. And, as far as techno-transcendental goes, that's kind of my bag. What I most enjoyed about his vision of Aquarius was the idea of forming cities around people instead of around industry, agriculture, or commerce as they are designed now. I know very little about urban design, but most US cities are unpleasant places to be, let alone live. I can only imagine how interesting it would be to live in somewhere designed to make humans comfortable and productive. Babbler,
