| 11:58.42 | Wormy_ | Whi is Paramore? |
| 11:58.57 | Wormy_ | Oh Snowstormer |
| 12:10.36 | Liquid_Ink | Hello Wormy |
| 12:14.13 | Wormy_ | hi |
| 12:15.34 | Wormy_ | I love negative temperature http://phys.org/news/2014-11-journey-side-absolute.html |
| 12:18.01 | Liquid_Ink | Imagine a planet that is mostly desert. There are two oceans shaped like rings that surround two frozen continents both controlled by an Empire that uses water to maintain a worldwide hegemony |
| 12:20.29 | Liquid_Ink | This planet is part of a binary system. Its sister planet is mostly ocean, and inhabited by the same species at the same technological level. |
| 12:20.30 | Wormy_ | Pole to pole? |
| 12:20.39 | Liquid_Ink | Yes. |
| 12:22.13 | Liquid_Ink | Both these planet's civilisations are aware of each other. What cultural implications do you think this would have on the desert planet? |
| 12:24.58 | Wormy_ | I suppose it might depend on how tolerant their morals are, and how rational they are. |
| 12:26.30 | Wormy_ | It could be that they are well adapted to desert life and might not feel jealous. Though it might also be possible for the government of the desert world to use the water-based planet as justification for war to avoid their own corruption being in front view |
| 12:27.43 | Wormy_ | I don't know what cultural beliefs a water planet would cause |
| 12:30.00 | Liquid_Ink | Oh, I should have informed you what technological level they were on. Late 1940s |
| 12:30.53 | Wormy_ | Can the two civilisations communicate via radio waves? |
| 12:31.08 | Liquid_Ink | ...I hadn't thought of that. |
| 12:32.20 | Wormy_ | I suppose once they find out they are the same species, they would immediately ponder their origins ad may want to seek contact. |
| 12:35.26 | Wormy_ | If the deserts limit the desert-planet civilisation more |
| 12:35.37 | Wormy_ | especially its growth and industrialisation |
| 12:36.25 | Wormy_ | That might spark jealosy. But a more interesting science fiction would look at the limits of the pelagic-world, and do the same to it's inhabitants |
| 12:36.32 | Wormy_ | *jealousy |
| 12:37.03 | Wormy_ | So they are both jealous of each other, if the sory goes down a darker route |
| 12:37.42 | Wormy_ | But again, if they both are tolerant they might both seek solutions like geoengineering or space colonisation. |
| 12:40.01 | Liquid_Ink | The Empire definitely does not like the prospect of a water planet. |
| 12:41.26 | Wormy_ | As I said, it could interfere with the views of it's people, or it could be a justification for war to cover up problems on their own planet. |
| 12:42.18 | Liquid_Ink | They don't interact. They are just mutually aware. |
| 12:42.57 | Wormy_ | Okay |
| 12:43.12 | Wormy_ | That might, induce paranoia |
| 12:43.41 | Wormy_ | if they are anything like us |
| 12:44.09 | Wormy_ | "I heard those peoople behind the mountain's shadow eat children" |
| 12:44.42 | Wormy_ | And other such irrationalities. |
| 12:48.16 | Liquid_Ink | Hmm. |
| 12:48.16 | Wormy_ | Generally cultures that don't mix or integrate insight fear |
| 12:48.27 | Wormy_ | *induce |
| 12:49.09 | Wormy_ | brb |
