That's a great way of saying this. I used to enjoy talking about this stuff and when people would question if I believed any of it I'd have to explain I just like thought experiments and writing syfy shorts.

    Yeah! It's like just considering these things is fun and enriching. You might let yourself get swept away in the fantasy a bit, but ultimately you're telling yourself different stories.

    So they only ever feel like stories, and not like, a whole to paradigm that you're going to flash your BIOS with rofl. Just maybe run it in a sandbox/cgroup and see if anything actually fun or inspiring comes out.

    Pardon the opaque metaphors.
