This water debate reminds me of a science fiction project, Chain://Universe. Their latest story, Web://Reflect, explores a future where thinking itself has a resource cost. In that 2090s world, consciousness runs on blockchain ("Mental Smart Chain"), and every cognitive process burns "Gas" (paid in MSCoin). It's a stark look at how tech monopolies could commodify existence, where even basic thought becomes a luxury. The underlying theory (IPWT) offers a fascinating, verifiable take on digital consciousness. Worth a peek if resource allocation in tech futures interests you.

Since you didn't mention it, the latest Black Mirror also covers this (episode 1?). You might like it.
