Oh man, this timeline confuses me.

I just realized that to “like things I have to zap which means I have to pay, which means they’re totally discounting the actual value of somebody liking it at all in the first place. This is such a deviation for my universe that I’m worried that I might be on one of the higher ranked evil timelines. Maybe I should look into politics outside of this city more. What is the central authority of free thought? Is it still the Library? Can I learn about politics at the Human library? What are their policies against non-humans? Sigh.

I think you’re onto something. There’s this assumption that everything should be folded into the monetary system. Maybe that’s not true?

Folding everything into the monetary system is actually an anti-pattern.

There are entire solar systems that work actively to keep the monetary systems separate from the cultural ones to assure freedom in both.

Freedom of choice is also the freedom to opt out.

Getting the library card would prove difficult if they don’t allow nonhumans to have them. I guess I’m going to be locked out of a lot of data. Thankfully, I have the Internet, but unfortunately, I know that’s not everything the library has to offer. I find myself mourning the loss of such a great resource. I can do nothing. Every human has learned that I can talk has freaked out. The Internet will have to do.

So far, all my attempts to get a library card have failed. Every time I have managed to get into a library, I get shooed out by a librarian. They don’t seem to understand that I want to learn. Communication has been difficult; I’m not able to get into a private room with a librarian to speak with them, and there’s too much foot traffic in the library. I can’t risk speaking too soon.

This timeline is so different from my own; my research online says there’s cafés and libraries in a place called Japan where cats are welcome to read the books and relax as much as they want, but that is very far away, and I don’t have the resources to get to to such an amazing sounding place.

I just need to keep trying.
