Until its planned obsolescence last week, the mythical city of Zuzalu was an intellectual paradise.
The days in Zuzalu began shortly after dawn, on the shores of the Adriatic Sea. In search of infinite life, the Zuzalans (as they identify themselves) liked to plunge into the frigid waters of Montenegro at 8 a.m. – and again at 1 p.m., depending on their level of dedication – before heading towards an erected white geodesic dome. at the end of a pier near the port. Here the Zuzalians debated for hours, pondering the utility of death, the chances of artificial intelligence-induced mass extinction, and the possibilities of city charters governed by their own laws. Then, after a meal and maybe a nap, we headed back to the beach for an all-night rave with artists like Grimes, the musical artist and ex of Elon Musk.
