The video link you provide, mainstream, is about 2 hours long. I got to the 15-minute mark and it was a real bore-fest. But I think I got the gist of it. And, yes, we're talking billions upon billions of U.S. dollars to build what is projected here...and the key to understanding the enormity of it was when Kaplan quoted Maharishi saying something to the effect: nature doesn't like anything on a small scale (boy, I wish I made note of the time on the video he said that so I could quote it verbatim...what a doozy!). I mean, there is supposed to be about a dozen of these enormous pundit farms where they live, eat, and chant...each one looks like a Mormon version of Disneyland with austere-looking building and manicured landscapes, etc. And, of course, this was all Maharishi plans...and while Kaplan was showing his slides of the architect's projections of these things, I couldn't help thinking that if and when these places get built it will only be because Maharishi died right after coming up with it. Had he lived, say, another 2 or 3 years he would, of course, have gone on to something else and all of this project would have been completely forgotten and abandoned, just as 99% of all his projects never came to fruition. It's as if Maharishi was playing Monopoly and at the time he died he had just landed on Marvin Gardens...so it is Marvin Gardens that gets built. Had he landed on Park Place just before he died, Kaplan would be devoting the rest of his life to building Park Place.
