I feel a bubbling of Human Contact. Maybe it\u2019s because I feel like I can muster some home for change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Zjamoti is really keen on this new design. It\u2019s optimized for reading homininigenic signals, like pheromones, electrical fields, and signal-bearing electromagnetic waves.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been missing The Academy, with their self-deprecating sense of humor and catty politics and their best expression of humanity that I can imagine. They explore because they want to learn as many ways to be a person as they can, so they freely adopt and are adopted by other sophonts (almost all hominini) across the galaxy as they find where we all spread, whenever it was that we spread out from wherever it was we first evolved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019ve been thinking a lot over the last 12 years about how the feet work on the most popular Academic body shape. They\u2019ve got opposable first toes (our big toe), but that\u2019s lousy for walking, and Academics are explorers. They don\u2019t not walk, and unlike the bonobos who were their conceptual ancestors, their body form doesn\u2019t lend itself to quadrupedality. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve been wondering, too: with no big toe, how do they walk long distances? And I\u2019m happy to reveal the secret 12 years later: their middle toe is the one they use to push off. Their footware allows several of their toes for graceful use, but they prioritize durability on that one big toe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I\u2019m glad I\u2019ve finally gotten that off my chest!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Oh, also, I\u2019ve started Hammering from Bronze a second edition of Human Contact! We\u2019ll see how it goes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I suspect that I\u2019ve started to be able to feel like I\u2019ll be able to see my friends and do things together again after two and a half years. I hope I\u2019m right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular systems are a function of industrial society. But do people of The Fifth World still know how to agree to standards? With their acute interest in efficiency, I think they might have carried that lesson forward!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
