It's similar but it's not the saaaaame... Plus it's only one color I think.
And a lot less bright.
Maybe we can find some kind of bacteria that can be genetically engineered to
produce one type of the chemicals, and another that produces the other, so
when they interact it'll produce light indefinitely.
(what about conservation of energy?)
um... maybe make them photosynthesize or something? so you have to charge it
in the sun and then it'll glow all night.

the government doesn't want you using solar panels because then the coal and
gas infrastructure won't be able to consume coal and gas, and everyone knows
that using resources as fast as possible is surely the best and most
productive use of our state's time
like, subsidies exist. they could just... make it cheaper, but instead they're

we should tie the global amount of money to the amount of energy in the world
meaning when we use solar panels or burn fossil fuels it adds to the count
wait no burning fossil fuels spends these "energy credits" into nothing
while building solar panels produces energy credits that go back into the pool
locally concentrated, of course, meaning the biggest producers have access to
the biggest amount
and if you don't care about energy then you don't need to have any. just the
way
it goes. so...

there will always be people who shine in moments of strife
yet those people will inevitably fail, just as a toothbrush bristle looses
it's strength or a pencil loses it's lead
the trick is to test them in times of peace, so you can know their value
during times that lack it, the trick is to replace them before they become
stalin
never forget that power corrupts, yet power must be wielded by the worthy,

in the past, people could eat canned food not necessarily because of the way
that it was canned, but simply the fact that it was sealed and comprised of a
liquid form that was inhospitable to bacterial life. Like vinegar with
pickles! But only for the things that were meant to last for a while - if it
was just for next month, then you don't need BPA liners or microplastic
dissolvers or any of that junk. Just a fully recyclable can that vacuum seals
itself shut using the power of machinery and heat.

"carbon efficiency is pointless, we're just gonna figure out how to pull
carbon from the atmosphere anyway" okay but carbon right now is a critical
resource for a constrait other than dollars. We need to conserve the carbon
budget we have because it generates effects down the line which are only
acceptable at certain levels. Zero is preferrably, but sorta like ttickets in
a backlog they need to be present in order to be dealt with.

thus enters the promise of technology: that we might solve the problems of
bureaucracy once and for all by ever more effiency-aligning mechanical
processes that produce effects which we desire - such as efficient allocation
of medical resources such that all of humanity is protected from the ravages
of pain and the incongruencies of our nature.
Alas, that we should only conceive of success through the lens of profit.
Perhaps another design is in order?
(oh yeah also people who are in control are worried that we, like all other
examples of natural entities, might immediately proceed to breed beyond the
capability to cater to the needs of said entity (such as "to feed" and medical
resources) and therefore might overburden (and therefore destroy) said system
which allows for their sustenance and initial creation. To this I say... Yeah
