>datacenters use lots of le water
has to be the most obvious op of our time
agriculture accounts for as much water use as all other public and industrial consumption twice over, datacenters will not put the slightest dent into water consumption

>agriculture accounts for as much water use as all other public and industrial consumption twice over,
Most agriculture is not in cities or using city water supply.
And feeding people is much more important than generating slop.

Yes, which is why the market will keep allocating water to ag.

Ownership is just one big club and you ain't in it.
Just like engravings on stone, only a limited number of people will have access to ownership and usage.

Back in the day the writing was actually in symbols that everyone understood what they said. It took some steps in abstraction and simplification until only a mall scribe class could read and write stuff.

Your argument is that literacy in the ancient world was 100%?
I would like to see evidence for such a claim, especially considering everything relied on oral traditions for the common people.

Look at early cuneiform tablets, you can still understand what they say even though we're not a distributionist agricultutal society. Like 5 dots next to a bowl next to a wheat symbol. Can't express grammar or complex verbs that way, so no story telling unless you fill in the blanks with verbs and grammar.

Clay tablets survived by accident IIRC, from housefires hardening them and keeping them burried. Digital is still superior because you can copy paste it ad infinitum and zap it to the other side of the world instantly. You can keep multiple copies of the textual content of Wikipedia on a card smaller than a toenail.

People are stupid and repeat Chinese targeted propaganda about how much cooling water is used on evaporative cooling.
If you spray a small amount of water on a cooling coil of an AC you get a huge amount of cooling, making the AC work better. When the water mist is evaporated after hitting the hot condenser it's easy to cool it back down with outside air, even when hot outside and have it rain back down in the cooler. The biggest units are the conical cooling towers found on nuclear power plants. Small units look like stacked Chinese take out boxes.

They use some water, but not very much for the amount of cooling they generate. They could skip it and just use more power, but water is cheaper than electricity.
