So, I was reading beginnings of https://www.fimfiction.net/story/5170/project-sunflower and was unable to NOT compare this version of Equestria (where life is much more like current-dominating idea of life here on Earth - you must work and pay in money for basically anything) and Chatoyance's version of Equestria, where ponies can do ...a lot more, and thus share/give away a lot more. Paradox in ... I live by relatively small amount of money, and don't demand much. Yet more

..you are going to sleep wondering why you can only easily imagine Twilight as alicorn (with wings) now, and not as her earlier self ...

Anyway, there is backlink to some interesting discussion /in comments/ about emotional life (vs rule-based life), from jul, 2014:

...If someone will ever read those lines ...finally stop writing this 'HORSERIDING" into your stories. Stop being so brainwashed by today, stop dressing it like something good.

May be humans should stop/pause/fade out writing specific castrated (for children) literature, and instead try to explain good adult (and for me definition of adult key-based on thinking, not age) themes for actual childrens, for example by telling from memory. Some shrinking will happen automagically. Sci-fi tales looks good, but only if you include remark about current situation with science - it all rotten to the core, because humans who do it currently not better than average humans, and

hm, I wonder if anyone will able to spot wrong/dissonanting picture? I was hoping for better, but terms like 'training' hurt more than just my eyes .... But still overall idea about "how the way we interact and connect with them can build trust, understanding and mutual respect " is very right, it just must be lived w/o traditional human compromises ....

So, I navigated to Chatoyance's website and finally ate some of her non-pony works, in book form.

Yeah ...may be I can write again! Not stories about ponies, but at least formulate some of my thinking in written form. Is writing by itself magic, for both reader and writer? I think yes, at least for humans. We have different results when we can revisit our thinking several times, and slow ourselves down from real-time voice/speech conversation.. So, text you worked on for few hours (alone or with someone else) looks quite more polished than transcript of chat. I was told whole art of
