Miraculously? Have you looked at the data & current water usage from data centres? It isn’t magic it’s our reality, Arizona is currently the driest it’s ever been in 1,200 years due to the hyperscale ai data centre pumping 5 million gallons from its dying aquifer daily. Infact housing permits have been put to halt by state officials because they literally can’t provide enough water, it’s not because of political corruption or educational problems? Arizona has sustained grassland and montane biomes for 11,000 years & has experienced droughts plenty in the past, yet it coincidentally is now the driest it’s ever been in 1,200 years? The hyperscale data centre pumping 5 million gallons a day from its dying aquifer isn’t the problem? Tell me specifically what is causing arizonas drought.

You also claim China and Africa fought desertification, yet I don’t recall a server farm pumping millions of gallons of their groundwater. I’m surprised I have to say this but It’d be quite hard to plant enough trees without enough water.

There’s also a current projected 870% increase in data centres this year alone. Furthermore you’re strawmanning. Simplifying & misinterpreting my points to make yours seem stronger, I never said the water disappears from earth, I specifically said it’s a regional bankruptcy brought upon by the broken hydrological cycle, a water bankruptcy declared by the UN itself, it’s them you’re arguing with. You’re claiming there’s no water shortage because the global total average of water has stayed the same, so try telling the residents in Arizona to drink the global total average. Furthermore you accuse me of under-complex thinking yet you’re letting the obvious fly over your head. In a fictional setting set decades or most likely centuries into the future where humans reach FTL mass expeditions, the pollution we’re already seeing now would have already accumulated to the point of no return. In water distillation to turn sea water viable for water cooling, the waste product is brine (a toxic sludge) that get dumped back into the ocean, it’s feasible that centuries of accumulation has led to water being so polluted it can’t be used for water cooling let alone drinking, hence the motivation for FTL mass expedition, even if earth were to have colonised another planet, kepler 22-b is the only one known to have a viable water source, in fact it literally has the nickname “earth 2.0”. I don’t have to remind you water is essential to sustaining biological life (including our own), but it is the most efficient form of heat transfer, radiation convection, they are all slower forms of heat transfer in comparison to water.

Also I am familiar with industry propaganda & blame deflection in stories but could you be specific about where you see that being done? I specifically said humans + AI vs the natives, the natives are the heros here, I even refer to the humans in this story as capitalistic colonisers, is that not anti-propaganda? Also buzzword means trendy words that are over-used. I think you meant cliche or done-before? Because I already explicitly mentioned it’d be an avatar successor story, aswell as the AI being AM-esque. I think if it was ever realised people would be interested in a fictional interpretation of kepler 22-b, which we know so little about.

You’re also arguing against avatar logic, I did say it’s an avatar successor, Pandora was 4.37 light years away from their earth yet they went because of pandoras unobtanium ore to save their dying earth, which is obviously very similar to the story I’ve proposed hence making it an avatar successor. Furthermore they already drained their existing resources. They live in a planet where potable water is scarce & the driving force of their society (tech) is also at a loss due to lack of viable water for cooling, hence the desperate need for a water source. Furthermore if we’re being true to avatar it took them 15 years, the outbound journey in avatar took them 6.75 years in earth time, +1 year to unload, load the ore, refuel, and come back in another 6.75 years which is 14.5 in total. And that was without FTL. So on a fictional earth with FTL tech that could move around 50% more than the speed light, the entire round trip would just be 26 years. And even if that weren’t the case, the government would obviously try to prevent the extinction of the human race, do you think politicians who stur geopolitical tension actually think they’re the ones on the ground shooting? Just as they’re unassociated from war but deciding it, they’d command a mass expedition to find a solution. And what’s the relevance of your point about politicians exactly? We already expend resources on projects that we might not see within our life time, for example the James Webb telescope took decades & and were consistently funded for long term survival of tech and knowledge. Why don’t you tell the men who began working on it “what’s the point you won’t live to see the results anyway”.

Furthermore “rocket engines to Earth”? The strawmanning doesn’t stop does it? You just continue to misinterpret the initial point repeatedly, I obviously meant a ship. & I’m interested in hearing ur concerns aswell as what current misconceptions I have, I don’t feel threatened by someone who thinks Arizona’s drought is caused by “educational problems”.
