Tartaria Sauce: The Tartarian Empire and 15-Minute Cities
08/16/23 • 47 min
EPSIODE 91 | Tartaria Sauce : The Great Tartarian Empire and 15-Minute Cities
One day, I wondered if there were any conspiracy theories about architecture, which is something I am quite keen on, so I fired up the laptop and did a Google search, and sure enough, there is. One. One that’s weird and funny and just a little bit sad.
While researching this, a new conspiracy pops up on the interwebs, this time about urban planning, another subject I‘m very interested in. And so, between the Tartarian Empire/Great Mud Flood theory, and the newly minted freak out about 15-minute cities, it felt like this episode of Conspiracy Clearinghouse was sort of writing itself.
