I’m not joking when I say that being a blind isolate in northeast Arkansas feels like being in a completely different universe from everyone. I don’t know which cultures I should describe: mine, local, or what the part of America that actually drives media culture looks like from Insuland.
The fact that I appear to be literally the sole person from my world makes things… challenging, to say the least. I’d make a comparison to Le Petit Prince, but that’d probably be pretentious. … Then again, writing it disguised as a RATIONAL! Petit Prince might just accomplish something...

This would appear to imply that The Little Prince wasn’t already sensible enough. You must be an adult.
I hesitated to add that point on exactly the grounds that I wasn’t sure what would qualify as an upgrade. I mean, besides taking the approach to asteroids and space travel, and trying to render them realistic (which kinda breaks the theme if it receives too much attention, much as EY said “It can’t be hopping between Everet Branches, but that’s the only explanation that comes to mind, so let’s leave it for now”. Maybe it’s set in a world where human colonization of the solar system started in the 19th century or something.)
This would appear to imply that The Little Prince wasn’t already sensible enough. You must be an adult.
If the Little Prince actually optimized for never becoming an adult, his return home using some primitive form of quantum suicide at the end of the book made more sense than it originally seemed.
