"I mostly suspect we will not be able to contact dath ilan at all. Your laws of physics allow for weird poo to occur, our laws of physics do not. I expect that I was copied out of dath ilan at the moment of my death, not moved here, and that my burned remains rest with my plane. But I grew up in a world full of people much smarter than me, coming up with better solutions than me, and nobody thought I was less a member of Civilization for not being among the top 1%, for that would clearly be the wrong way to structure a society. I made mistakes and I didn't hide them, and when I was young enough to need it, my parents and peers congratulated me for having the dignity not to hide them. Your version of dignity and your predicate for insult is - very alien to me, and I am still trying to decipher how much of that is me having specifically been trained not to feel insulted in that way, versus dath ilan having genetically bred for different emotions over however many generations it has been."
