Incredible find in the Amazon - a network of roads and cities that would have housed a civilization at least as large as the Mayans. ~6000 mounds, population in the 10,000s or potentially 100,000s, all around the same time period as the Romans.

The civilization likely flourished thanks to what Rostain describes as “a conjunction of good vibes” for a farming society.

Vibes-based urbanism.

I think we should take a lesson from civilizations that tried to create 15 minutes cities like this, only to subsrquently vanish. Let's not make the same mistake

They tried to do a communism and the free market rightly punished them for it.
