“Arcadia” imagines a future many of us ache for—but from a heliogenetic lens, the question isn’t can we build it, but what are we building it with? A climate utopia cannot be manufactured from the same materials and mindsets that created collapse. If we extract rare minerals to power clean tech, we’ve only shifted the violence.
The real Arcadia isn’t a polished carbon-neutral fantasy—it’s a system in reciprocity with the sun, the soil, and each other. Regeneration isn’t aesthetic. It’s structural. And it starts by asking: does this future heal what we broke, or just hide it better?
