Why was this added to LessWrong?

Did you read the last two stories (especially the last one)?

4900201

No, I didn't, which is why I asked. I will read them now.

That was... odd. I want to see more.

Damn. Was this a sequel to the last chapter?

That was not my intention. But if it pleases you, feel free to make that your headcanon.

Some gut-churning imagery.

I'm not sure if this is a Smithian take on labour, a Marxist take, or something else.

That other pony whom the burden will be passed onto might need a job. Twilight might want to find something she has a comparative advantage at. Accounting, managing, or even something more basic like data entry or secretarial work. With her qualifications she should be able to get a skilled job without much trouble, assuming Princess Celestia has been keeping the money supply up.

But the real question is: what is Princess Celestia doing with the money she had been paying to Twilight Sparkle? Come now, let us see the general equilibrium....

This, now this, I like. In the sequel, Rainbow Dash starts a hedge fund....

I mean, what do life cycles have to do with making money?

Quite a bit....

Is it legal for that to be my OC's name?
Please?

Considering that the alicorns are female, they could have frozen some sperm. That way, once they fix the ecosystem, they could get a new civilization going and make everything a lot easier.

48 hours later Twilight has learned to automate the mining process, and gets a considerable income from the patents on her inventions. She is still not usre if this is what Celestia planned all along :trollestia:

I was listening to the Chant of Immortality while reading and it made it so much more powerful.

The line about houses full of useless stuff reminds me faintly of Fight CLub

Clever way to take the prompt

Splendid, Jaime, especially the last.
Found these via the LW open thread so thanks for announcing there!

And Luna went full intelligence explosion. You never go full intelligence explosion?

Pffft.
This is either Celestia being a hilarious prankster, or Celestia being completely serious. I can't tell which is funnier.
Pffft.

I could have sworn I've read all (or most - not the FiO one) of these before, albeit not directly one after the other.
Are these in another collection?

"We could always try creating some more ponies and raising up another kingdom," said Celestia. "We haven't done that since Luna left us, Twilight, and I think that maybe if it we pulled it in our own direction we could accomplish something truly..."

Ah, but how would they find willing stallions to breed with?
