Don't remember where entropy falls in there, but farming apex predators in general is pretty poor agriculture. Humans in general have too high of an energy intake to be economical to farm, I think.

Not even my idea! Fate/stay night

I've seen some awesome "King Arthurs" come out of Fate/stay fanfiction, heh.

E: Aaah, hit the two minute mark (Okay, more like 1:59, whatever.) in Shnabubula's Dueling Consoles. Delicious music tinglies!

I'ma laugh when you get ganked by a genderflipping (wait, was that canon or elsewhere?) wench and stuck in a cave for a few decades.

Though, I guess... man, which merlin? There's dozens of them!

Kinda' side along, but regarding the propoagnosia... is it just faces? I sorta' ask because I'm terrible about making eye-contact (information overload, gives me a headache. Also twigs the fuck out of my paranoia because I know it can go both ways.) and don't really pay attention to facial structure and suchlike as a matter of course. Most of my individual recognition comes from other aspects, particularly voice and physical mannerisms (movement, posture, physical build, etc. More the way folks move than anything, though I have difficulty consciously recognizing whatever it is I'm picking out.) and... I'unno, maybe trying to switch tracks to that could help? I speak largely from ignorance, but if it's a possibility...

Wonderful piano-thing. Overclocked Remix, "Messenger in the Key of Black." Hit it whilst going through the OCRemix stuff, had to share~ Dat piaannoooo-thing!

Hey, bright side, bright side. That's still significantly less time than it would have taken to walk that distance.

It's something!

That nine month downtime is a major weakness, and the notably incapacitated period near the end of it is an overt example of something we don't really want. Getting things to the point that there's no more need for that trouble would be a fairly major step forward for our species. Regardless as to any social changes that may come along with it, excising humanity's reliance on the process would do nothing but good.

I'm not even entirely sure what you mean when you say "family structure" or how the nine-month pregnancy period is necessary for it, or how you get from "remove the incapacitating pregnancy period" to "effectively sterilize humans".

Specifically, what I was saying is that LoS's "nine month period bond" can be not just abstracted away, but outright removed. That such would be a good thing would be a different issue.

So, uh. It seems like you might be making the area better off if you helped the fellow out? Kids get loot, he runs south of the border and probably gets eaten by the cartels, you get paid. Win/win/win?

Is there a professional ethical rule about not helping people ruin their lives, even if the people in question want to? Because it looks like you're in a perfect position to grant a genie's wish ♪
