so what is your answer to this deeply philosophical question?

So i just thought of this awesome question that i don't even know what my answer to it is yet, its not a right or wrong its an opinionatory question, but be prepared to explain what you answer is based off of and if you are challenged then be prepared to give some sort of a positive argument, you cant tell someone they are wrong, but you can try to convince them of your views, but be serious.



The Question is thus: What would you consider the "landmark" city of the world to be. To explain my question i will refer to it as this, the "lost city of atlantis" is considered to be the marvel of the ancient world, the city in which the best of everything of the civilization was shown. And the city of Atlantis was lost due to many theories, the most popular being a flood. And to relate this, if say the world were flooded, and another civilization was formed, what would be the city to them as atlantis is to us.



Don't just say your hometown or something ridiculous, unless you can back it up, i don't want to hear about some no-name town in the middle of france that has no real importance, something real. And don't just say atlantis either, because it is of the previous civilzations cities, and the atlantians are long gone to us even.



Of course i refer to atlantis as if it were real, i am not disclosing my opinion on it, it was merely a reference.



now go my little monkeys and think of what you will say...

None, humans are smart, people are not.

That's a good question. I'd really like to say Rome, but only in the ancient sense, which I guess doesn't really apply here. At it's height, Rome was the most amazing, techologically advanced and spectacular city the world had ever known, the pinnacle of human achievement. Nowadays it'd probably a be a toss up with New York City or the Vatican or something like that. Paris perhaps?

This is a really good question. I think it would have to be Tokyo, i went there a few years ago and it blew my mind. plus, its the largest city by far, with 34 and a half million people, you cant touch that shit... the next largest is NYC with about 20 million. Also, Dubai is doing some crazy shit...

Burj Dubai - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Jerusalem. It has signifiant religious and cultural importance.

Don't mean to be off-track here...but I feel like mentioning a landmark wilderness park, if I may.

Yosemite Valley, is a wonderful natural landmark of the healthy and advanced civilization that is, the wilderness! So many complex organisms and forms of life and ancient solid landscapes. The Life!

:jointsmile:

Either Philadelphia or Washington D.C. because these places are the brthplace of America.

I say this because America has the best technology and like it or not were the world power. We have the most freedom of anyone in the world.

Amsterdam because it offers true liberal culture, meaning less government interference, more negative liberty and gives hope to many.

^ It's nice to see yet another regular!

It's been lonely without ya Reefer haha.

:dance:

I'd have to say Tokyo for technology and modern development, plus at a push they could go the same way as Atlantis! The earths crust is very very thin their...
