If you have to ask, you probably won't live to enjoy it is a term of art among transdimensional corporation promoters and Extract of Radium enthusiasts.
History
The first known appearance of the phrase was a tweet by author and known fabulist Karl Jones on October 6, 2020:
It's a question of sufficient computational power — say, fifty terawatt-hours, rounded to the nearest five hundred years.
Alternately, you can bribe or coerce Maxwell's Demon.
Either way — "If you have to ask, you probably won't live to enjoy it."
