Many of the entities participating in the human RP have been writing unrealistic or unlikely characters, opinions, and events. I'd like to run down a few reminders about the setting.

The "Overton window" severely constrains which opinions and policy positions your character can hold. Most humans will socially censure anyone who looks like they might believe or support any of the following.

  • mandatory cryonics
  • banning computers
  • treating posting images of one's children on social media as child abuse (even among radical youth-advocates, which there are not that many of)
  • selective breeding of humans
  • Rapture insurance
  • inventing new religions
  • whitelisting "legitimate" religions (even single-religion whitelists ("theocracy") are very rare)
  • mandatory organ donation, especially from live donors
  • introducing occult practices as a core subject in public schools
  • genetically modifying humans to be r-selected
  • mandatory euthanasia, even on the basis of age
  • banning individually-owned civilian motor vehicles

Your character should not be involved in the plot. Almost no humans think about the following issues, and most aren't even aware of them.

  • youth emancipation
  • frog hybridization
  • AI safety
  • deproliferation of imprecatory prayer
  • colony collapse disorder
  • corvid personhood
  • EMP weapons
  • comparative emic oceanography
  • leveraged corporate buyouts
