I've noticed Elf taboos that they lack but it seems harder to notice the other way around; I'll keep an eye out. Since you don't have a body most of them would not be relevant to you apart from staying out of private thoughts, which I believe you're already doing.

Yes, for those with an orderly mind, the mind-speech will only communicate that which they intend unless the other party is attacking. Attacking is quite obviously different. I would be curious to hear what taboos you have noticed them lacking.

They often cut their hair or wear it loose.

Could you explain why those are taboo?

Elf hair is sexual. Orcs and Dwarves don't have the same thing.

What a strange reason for a taboo. I wonder if humans have any taboos for that reason. 

It seems likelier than not to me. Your people don't?

Perhaps that's because my people do not copulate or pair bond. We lay eggs and those eggs are fertilized externally. Or we used to, these days children are genetically engineered with some element of randomness added to avoid getting trapped in local maxima.

Who does the engineering?

It's left up to the discretion of the mother. She can choose to do it herself or to delegate the task. She's also responsible for arranging for the care and early life of any children.

And the father?

Since we switched to genetic engineering the boundary between the sexes ceased to be useful. Most individuals hatched these days are biologically female but those who are biologically male can still be mothers if they wish.

Oh, I see.

If you have taboos around your hair for sexual reasons does your hair play some role in your reproduction? I haven't run a comprehensive medical scan on you but based on your physical similarity to humans I would have expected your means of reproduction to match.

Hair is not involved directly in reproduction.

I wonder why you don't have taboos around those parts of your body that are then. What an interesting state for a culture to be in.

Perhaps if I understood better I could predict what taboos humans might be expected to have. Do you know if Dwarves or Orcs have sexuality based taboos?

Dwarves do not have gender and consider sex mildly impolite to ask about if it's not directly relevant. All three species typically avoid copulating in front of third parties.

That largely makes sense. Back when we laid eggs, the eggs tended to be kept in a private nest and only individuals the mother admired were invited to fertilize them. Sadly that doesn't give rise to any sort of pattern from which I can make guesses about human taboos.

Well. The absence of pornography in any of the videos I've looked at so far is weakly suggestive.

That is weakly suggestive that they share the public copulation taboo. I was already planning to allocate enough private rooms so each individual might claim one though, so that taboo should be satisfied.

Yes. You might want to be sure the soundproofing is calibrated to their hearing, my impression so far is that theirs isn't as good as Elves' but we put a lot of effort into making sure we don't casually overhear each others' conversations.

Materials under time dilation are exceptional sound blockers. I plan to use such in most walls for structural reasons and to prevent the facilities from being damaged if any humans are violently inclined.

Oh, that sounds so useful, what a clever application.

Has your reading suggested anything about where we might want to collect the teleported humans from, as far as geography?

There's a lot of variance. The English-speaking locations are candidates but I might be biased by the library contents.
