"And, like, Yvalta sort of sells them, and Yvalta is still terrible because they don't just sell them straight-up for money."

"Because you can't change jobs."

"Yep. But, like, 'selling them for contracts is much worse than selling them for money' is sort of complicated, it'd be easy to deceive yourself otherwise."

Nod.

"Of course, I would rather live in Yvalta than Calado - as a random orange or something, I mean, so."

"I wouldn't."

"Why?"

"Calado sounds more fun. - by which I mean, I think I could accomplish more there, not just that I'd be happier."

"It doesn't sound very fun. Why would it be fun?"

"There would be lots of challenging complicated politics to do."

"Isn't everybody really stressed out all the time?"

"A lot of people are, yes. It's not a good place to live for most people."

"It seems like maybe politics would be less fun with stressed out people."

"Making a bigger difference to people would be satisfying, though."

"I guess since there's not many blues you could give out lots of permissions and the people you gave them to would be happy."

"Yeah. And get things done which no one was getting done because you wouldn't get a permission out of it."

"Does anybody in Calado actually do that?"

"Probably some people but not enough for all the stuff like that to get done."

Nod.

"Things that just require one person with astonishing selflessness will happen. Things that require a lot of those won't."

Nod. Sigh.

"Are you tired?"

"Yeah."

"Then I think that is enough world politics for one night." Scoop?

Yes, scoop.
