People on the internet are sometimes a little caste liberal but not all abolitionist.

I mean at this point I think it would do more harm than good to try and get rid of it, it's just that it's ridiculous that it exists in the first place.

It's sort of hard to imagine a world without it. Like, if I try I imagine "okay everybody can do what they want but singers still have green hair".

I wonder if you'd have an easier time imagining my society than a casteless Amentan one.

Everybody's hair is brown, that's all I've got.

No it's not! We've got black hair and yellow hair--there are yellows who could pass for a yellow-haired alien but a lot of them couldn't, it's a much narrower range of yellow--and orange, which sometimes gets red enough that an Amentan would dye it.

Huh.

After a little fiddling--I got Odette to do illusions of some people we know and I took pictures.

There are pictures of a pretty black-haired girl and a boy with curly orange hair and freckles and a pair of blonde twins.

Who are they?

My ex-girlfriend Constanza, my friend Alan, and my friends Kori and Jorun.

What's up with the spots on the orange?

Those are called "freckles." They happen sometimes, it's perfectly natural.

Nifty.

Mhm!

More singing recordings, all the ones she has.

Beautiful.

Thank you.

So now it is bad if my ears burn out, too.

I'll try not to sing too beauteously.

Nooooo! The beauty must not be restrained!

But your poor ears!

No, no, it's that I can't let anything else burn them out because then I couldn't hear you sing, beauty burning me was facetious, remember?

Do you stick a lot of flaming objects in your ears? Consider not.

Generally I do not! But I suppose I'll have to refrain from rubbing my ears on the streets next time I visit the North Pole.

Why would that make them burn?
