[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?

Prostitution is the oldest profession.

I have no further comment, though. I think if we bonded instead of restricting ourselves it would be very freeing. I think kinky people would have more to say on this - their whole scene is all about negotiation and openness and communication.

... I say this like I would be able to do it, but hey, I have hope for other people.

How many times have you been married? The tone of the post sounds like multiple...

If it’s so distasteful why are you trying to harness it?

We are in agreement. If the methods to produce Chroma could be adapted to applicable equivalents in other worlds, it would solve many of the problems facing mankind.

If only it were so easy.

I think you could have been a little more discreet about discussing the currency system, some people might not be ready for this information.

No, it's not my business, it just sounded like you'd been through a marriage at least once. "Your royalty?" I'm sorry for being noisy, Your Grace.

If it were as simple as that, I’m fairly certain a lot of conflicts would have ended well before they even really began. It’s not a viable system where we come from, especially when you consider that some people would rather not indulge.

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.

You know very well that I didn’t mean “grabbing” in a literal sense!

[ Yep. That was the takeaway there. ]

I DON’T KNOW!!

[ 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?

I can’t!!!

I’m coming over.

I personally keep wondering if there’s a catch, myself. It’s all very well and good to say that we should just make love and not war, but how do they account for inflation, exactly? That’s not even getting into the ugliness of human nature when it comes to things like jealousy and exploitation. About the only thing I can’t find a potential issue with is infinite free energy, honestly.
