Jupital and Tetratopia

"Rotational-work contribution depends on a lot of things - how interesting the provider can make the work, how personally aversive the worker finds it, how much the worker wants what's on offer from the provider.

Uh, if ke was being paid in fully-general money, which seems to be a thing that Byway use at least, ke absolutely would be likely to work until ke dropped? That's one of the reasons we don't use that kind of economics - extrinsic motivation is dangerous, it has to be carefully used only when it's really needed.

I think from what I've overheard we're unusually non-functional when ill - nobody else seems to have retirements as a standard thing that happens to people on a regular basis? Even things that aren't bad enough to go into full retirement often knock us out for, like, a couple of weeks and we have to set up in advance to have our friends take care of things.

Sharing technologies-and-techniques - we can avoid directly sharing your files with the rest of the delegation via this particular computer? I'm reluctant to say this because I'm worried it'll reduce your cooperation - and we really need satellites - but in the spirit of cooperation - I'm not sure how it will work once ambassadors come through, much less people who arrive for long term projects. We'll want to share the technologies-and-techniques widely amongst ourselves - we probably don't have the industrial base for these things, so we'll need to do that in order to get enough people working on it - and most people won't understand the idea of not sharing them with other people."

Ferek and the Imperium

"Greetings! I'm afraid you're going to have to catch me up on what we're talking about," says Ferek, as ke approaches Neksil. "I hear you want to talk about immigration policy?"

Jeffinar and the Imperium

Jeffinar is about to answer about childcare, but absolutely does not as ke notices Ferek coming closer. "That does sound like the kind of number somewhere like Langhame could train," ke does contribute.
