But, I completely get that the difficulty may put some people off or just make it impossible for them to progress. And I don't think they should be excluded from other parts of the experience because of that.
So yeah, maybe they just should have had classic cheat codes or something.

This is a somewhat neverending discussion about Hollow Knight and then even more Silksong.
And I don't know. The unrelenting hardness is indeed part of the experience, and it does make me appreciate the game even more. I'm happy that I had no choice, rather the very same path everyone had to walk.

And, as their next move to actually ban wind turbines, they'd ban gas and steam turbines used for electricty generation as well.
Which would leave hydro and solar as the only options.

Yeah. Anybody involved in the decisions allowing the chopping-and-burning-forests-is-renewable scam should spend the rest of their lives in prison.

But a counter argument here is that a majority of things are designed around a human frame, and in the short term replacing those with a similar frame is not a ridiculous idea, until other aspects get sorted out.

And I would argue that naturally emergent language (that is, some species or what building up foundations of their communication protocol) has a strong practicallity attractor; and now our simple first or second order logic has such a strong practicality vibe. 2/2

I think I would challenge your "probably" here. I mean, while I somewhat-know that there's a fuckzillion of super weird formal systems that math people deal with, it does not imply that language emergence is a dice roll on a uniform probability space out of those systems. 1/2
