A supervisor once said about his own projects he had to sell to sponsors: every vision risks sounding insane or too unambitious -- it's like a walk on a knife's edge.
Well, it obviously needs a lot of experience to find the right balance.
Not sure if the prince had (or did allow) for the right environment -- read: people who respectfully show the challenges that need to be taken first.
While most people (including me) saw it fail from the beginning, I cannot 100% deny a certain fascination with the ambition and passion.
Kind of: the right adventurous spirit (for a kingdom getting to lazy, die to it's wealth), but not sufficiently mentored by wise man[sic!] -- I don't know how to put it into better words.
The project lacked a natural force (like a river seeking it's way) and tried too much like mechanical hammer hitting on an empty anvil (doing a lot of noise without creating a product).
I hope they find a why to turn around and revive the essence of the Prince's vision: build the future of the kingdom.
(I would find that way more interesting than any schadenfreude)
It's one of those projects that immediately strikes you as completely unfeasible before you even get to the cost or timeline projections.
