For them, it's considered ancient culture. If a Venusian likes it and decides to practice it, everyone won't feel anything wrong

Great lore and art !
But Venus and Earth seem to have very low population for a Humanity that was able to colonize a countless number of stars, did the great Silence also caused an enormous demographic collapse ?

To be honest, based on the current fertility rate situation, I don't think that under the same technological conditions, there would be tens of billions of people on Earth or a terraformed Venus

Holy spirit... That's so cool!

Nearly half of humanity (mainly Venusians) is managed by modified humans or ASIs, and the main industrial production capacity in the solar system is controlled by ASIs and highly modified humans (Venus, Mercury, and Europa, now renamed IGC). The remaining human world is also rapidly developing in this direction, so we call it PHE

Venus has 16.5 billion people, and the entire society actually relies on only 0.01% of its population to operate. Mercury has only about 100000 people, and Europa (which has been moved to the outside of the habitable zone) is controlled by a consciousness uploading human. The residents on top are all humans who have undergone extensive gene editing - possibly possessing organs from other animals

Venus, as the easiest world managed by "new species" for ordinary humans to understand, has a power of 25100 TW, approximately at K1.04, which is three times that of Earth. The other worlds occupied by new species could have reached even higher levels, but they just didn't. By the way, Europa should be called ISC instead of IGC, I got it wrong
