I'm walking away from that metaphor...What if most of the multiverse is the Utopia and our call is to be the basement in Omelas?

Ahh yes. We will show the corrupted, denatured old-ways person how enlightened and in tune with the earth we all are by [checks notes] smoking a lot.Reminds me of the science fiction English course that I took in college. One of the books we were made to read and discuss was called "Ecotopia."
Every time someone points out something must be good, because it's "natural," I wonder how well that worked out for Socrates and his all-natural hemlock cocktail.Ahh yes.

But it was organic!Every time someone points out something must be good, because it's "natural," I wonder how well that worked out for Socrates and his all-natural hemlock cocktail.
Lead, arsenic, and asbestos are "all natural." Botulism, ricin, and many forms of cyanide are also "organic." And Crisco and Mountain Dew are both "vegan and gluten-free."Every time someone points out something must be good, because it's "natural," I wonder how well that worked out for Socrates and his all-natural hemlock cocktail.
