[me, trapped in Lalande 21185 observational simulation hell #43233, circa common era one million]

[glowing six-eyed lizard creature, i call him "pat"] so it's like every species has this petroleum gap they have to get over

[me] oh i know exactly what you mean

[pat] like you shoot up to industrial civilization status because of fossil fuels, and then there's like this timer running, can you use the free energy of the fossil fuels to transition to a better energy source before you either run out or wreck your climate

[me] we did the climate thing

[pat] yeah we were totally blindsided. we had a series of glacier formations trapping giant methane bubbles so we were off to feedback loop city before we even noticed the carbon ppm was rising

[me] we actually saw it coming. we had like 100 years between us figuring out that carbon was affecting our climate and the system first going nonlinear

[pat] oh damn how did you allocate your resources during that time

[me] *slowly takes a deep breath*

[me] *deep breath*

computers do exactly what they're told, and if they do something you did not intend it is because you approached them with imperfect courage

you can own a fridge and still be at risk of homelessness or not have money to get adequate medical treatment, or need to work >40 hrs/week which feel like objective measures of poverty independent of technology or relative wealth
