Yeah, I really don’t understand taking amphetamines for recreational use. It’d be like putting on my work pants to go to a party.
Fair enough! My compliments on your character’s backstory - that sounds fun!
Also, I would think that a second big bang would be morally neutral on a universal scale, but that’s not much comfort for the people currently existing…
You may know about the Bessemer process, but how would your character discover this process? Unless your character is an accomplished blacksmith or engineer, I’d call metagaming.
… I know that’s a bit of a buzzkill, but that’s where my mind goes.
