Who turned out the lights?

[Matterplay1]

Clearly, we need to start dividing stars into brown dwarfs now. Plan for the future, people, prevent Mother Nature from frittering away mass with unplanned fusion.

Somebody somewhere in the OA setting, maybe even somebody among the Terragens, will have taken this quite seriously:

"Yeah, too bad about your sun, but it was wasteful. We can't have that."

The Negentropists and especially the Paradigm might go in for this or even more extreme options.

The Paradigm might go right ahead, but Negentropist factions that tried this would likely be opposed by others who would defend some of the other Negentropist principles (diversity and particularity are also valued by Negentropists...). Those internal conflicts could be more sharply and passionately fought than any dispute with outsiders.
