Multidimensional Economics; Friday, First Period [12/11].

[somethingwithturquoise]

It was definitely portal time for class this week, because Summer was definitely not going to program a danger shop sim for something she could just arrange a class trip out of, so for once they were actually meeting in an actual classroom where she'd scheduled the portal for instead of the danger shop one. Which sort of still felt funny to her, in a weird sort of way.

But, anyway.

"So I know a lot of you already did the whole mall Christmas shopping thing this week for the assembly," she started, "but, guess what, you're doing the whole mall thing again, only it's different because this is going ot be a mall in space, where there is no Christmas shopping because why would people in space celebrate Christmas? And shopping is only one aspect, and just a small aspect," this was a total lie, they were absolutely going to a space mall just as an excuse to shop whilst in class, "of our trip. Our main goal is for market research," which was code for an excuse to shope whilst in class, "for your final projects, because next week is our last class of the semester, and so the whole goal is to have you develop throughout the week a good pitch for a multidimensional store or business that you'll present to the class next Friday. So this is a good way to get a feel for some of the multidimensional market, get inspired, maybe see what's lacking.

"Also," she added, hefting up a large duffel bag, "we're in luck, because I managed to pin down a dimension where shrimp chips actually are a form of currency, so this stock pile I've been building up over the semester is going ot really come in handy for you guys if you actually do want to buy something. I just have two rules: no weapons, because that's definitely going to come back and bite you in the ass somehow, and no pawn shop sex robots, because that's how you wind up with alien nephews who want to destroy all of humanity because your brother sucks at being a dad."

A pause.

"At least, in my experience, anyway. So, everyone, grab a bag, and let's get ready to do some shopp--I mean, some market research!"

Ethics, December 11, 2020

"Well, barring horrifying things happening next week--" because in Fandom, you never knew, "--you will have your Ethics exam on Friday. As I said in the beginning, I'm only interested in your thought processes regarding the questions I ask you, not if it's the answer I myself would give."

He leaned back against his desk and it didn't spew candy canes or anything, which was a little strange this far into December, but Anakin ignored it. "Since you cannot really study for the exam, I thought we'd discuss a bit of what we'd seen on our school field trip on Wednesday. We helped out at a food bank, then shopped for children who weren't going to get gifts in this season of giving. Do you have a similar holiday in your own galaxies, and if so, is charitable giving a part of it? Why or why not?"
