[TEXT] 001: we've found here that physical contact is renewable energy. in this essay i will
Good afternoon. I am sure we are well aware of how currency operates here by now. I cannot say I am particularly fond of it as a necessity but I would appreciate any input anyone may have on the following.
Has anyone thought to perhaps harness this technology for whenever we return to our respective homes? In my home world, I primarily function as a peacekeeper and mediator. Before this became my purpose, I would attempt to avoid conflict through strategic marriage. I have been reluctant to admit that this caused more trouble than it avoided, but to this day I still hold the ideal that peace can be kept through agreeable relations.
Here, agreeable relations provide energy and currency, both of which are sources of conflict, debate, and an imbalance in quality of life where I hail from. It has even been the cause of violent conflict. Vulgar though it may be, I believe that it is human nature to value such agreeable relations as a far better incentive against such conflict than most anything else. Cash is an incentive that often wins out in the end, even when one is faced with peril. But here, we find that cash, renewable energy, and -- for lack of a better term -- intimacy, are all combined into one. Though I personally find the concept QUITE distasteful, it is my experience that most other living beings subscribe to the idea that "sex sells." What, do you think, may happen if humanity were faced with a reality in which it not only sells, but buys, and provides? It is my belief that such a system would put an end to all known conflict in locations where it is not currently in place.
How do you suppose we might preserve whatever we learn here, and bring it back home, so that agreeable relations can perhaps lead us to a post-scarcity society?
[tl;dr how we gonna fuck our way to world peace thanks for coming to my ted talk]

If I had to choose between two distasteful things, vulgarity and needless violence, I WOULD choose vulgarity, you know. I'm not a monster.
no subject
I think you could have been a little more discreet about discussing the currency system, some people might not be ready for this information.
[ Some people like Germany who was pretending he hadn’t noticed how things seemed to be working. ]
no subject
...How could I have been more discreet than that?? I made every effort to put it as politely as possible!
no subject
As for being more discreet, I’m not really certain how it could be done but I’m sure some people might end up reading into something that was meant to be a nice gesture as nothing more than a “money grab”.
So to speak.
no subject
Certainly you don't think that's all there is to it, do you?? One can partner off with the love of their life and have enough funds to give to those who have no one. It's not superficial, it's a good cause for all involved, don't you think??
"Grabbing" has no romance, and I'd be reluctant to interpret any "grab" as a "nice" gesture.
no subject
[ Yep. That was the takeaway there. ]
no subject
no subject
[ That was a lie, then after a moment. ]
Maybe I’m one of the ones that didn’t want it to be real, okay? Are you happy now?
no subject
Are you that worried about it?
Perhaps we can continue the conversation on a private chat?
Unless you'd like to come over?
no subject
[ There’s a decent amount of time before he sends another message. ]
I’m coming over.
