Summary
Tuvalu, a Pacific Island nation threatened by rising sea levels, is creating a “digital twin” to preserve its culture, heritage, and sovereignty.
Using advanced technology like 3D mapping and blockchain, the project aims to digitally replicate the islands, infrastructure, and even personal stories.
The initiative, part of Tuvalu’s “Future Now” plan, also includes digital passports to maintain state functions if physical territory is lost.
While some view the plan as impractical or symbolic, others see it as a vital adaptation to climate change, complementing efforts to physically protect the islands.
Tech, especially power hungry bullshit like blockchain crap and meta in general, causes lots of emissions -> causes climate change -> causes rising water level, sinking our island -> let’s fully support them and use their services! 🤡
Tbf, the amount of computing power they’re using is probably less than one billionaire’s private plane flight.
They could be using solar and wind.
