Why less fantastical shades of our genre have greater power to inspire

This all sounds like roleplaying trying to use fantasy sounding words.

How so? Please elaborate. What could be worded differently?

no one talks like this in normal life. I dont think the word root is being used right to begin with, but it's not very descriptive anyway. And then it's shit like, "deliciously" sustainable? Words like "shade of", and just literally saying artistic view of the future, makes this sound like an art movement, or other words things with no practical value. "Augmenting" "championing" all of this is "fantastical".

Use words like cheap, practical, efficient, easy.

oh no wonder, ETH, it's crypto pyramid schemes, it all falls apart if you talk normally

I talk like that in real life.

I play a lot of table top role playing games, so maybe that's why, but we exist.
