Ask anything you want about multiplicity, our system, or anything of that general nature, and don't worry about sounding rude or uninformed (only way to get informed is to ask). We'll try to answer every question in as much detail as possible, even if we might not get back to you immediately. (If you don't have anything you want to ask, that's ( Read more... )

Where do you see multiplicity and multiple people being in about 20 years? (publically, socially, society wise)

ksol1460 November 15 2004, 01:30:22 UTC

It varies depending on whom you ask and what kind of mood they're in when you ask them ( ... )

Hello there.
Could you possibly consider my questions to Sethrenn as also being directed to you? The more opinions the better I say ^^.

Fair enough. ksol1460 November 15 2004, 02:08:41 UTC

"For those of you who do "go" somewhere when you're not fronting, how does it feel? Some plural system members seem to spend a whole lot of their time in places other than here. What does it feel like to be in those places? Is it utterly real? With all senses and sensations functioning as out here? Or is it more like a dream ( ... )

hey, that was going to be my question... who was the big Neil fan! Now I shall have to come up with another question.

Neil Young is God. This has been a public service announcement.

How does it feel when you move from being on Laura to fronting in the earth world? Do you just sort of jump or fade from one world to the other (that's more or less how it is for us) or is it a more complex procedure?

Also, a silly question: how do you pronounce "Laura" and "Lauta"?

ksol1460 November 18 2004, 00:15:53 UTC

It feels less like a jump than like moving to a certain location at home and focusing our attention on the earth world. One can front from just about anywhere on Laura, although people like to use the KSOL air studio so that they can keep track of both worlds. (Yeah, we use a lot of radio metaphors.)

Laura and Lauta are pronounced as they would be in Italian, sounding out the vowels. The name of our world actually varies depending on where you are: you'll also hear Ilora, Iliora and, in Koveh and the eastern islands, Maah, the old name.

I have a few questions:

--does anyone in the system ever want to surgically change the gender of the body you share? Or, even a less drastic change, like changing hairstyle - who gets to decide?

--are some people in the system lazier than others? In the househould where I live (5 singlets) there are always little conflict over stuff like who's turn it is to do the dishes, etc. Does that happen with you?

--do you feel sorry for us singlets because we are alone?

I have been quite seriously considering changing this body's gender for some years, or at least doing something to look more androgynous. The men frontrunners are with me. The women frontrunners say that they do not care what the body is, as long as it is healthy and comfortable.

Hairstyle used to be a big problem in high school because we had a couple of frontrunners who wanted shorter hair, while others wanted to keep it long. A short style is worn by a lot of chen, that is a guild that includes autistic and creative persons. Often this style is worn as a political statement, and it is also the mourning haircut when someone dies.

example here and here

Long hair, signifying strength and identity, is usual for non-chen. The majority of frontrunners now favour long hair, the longer the better. If we had frontrunners who seriously wanted shorter hair, we would probably find some kind of compromise. Sometime I'll write more about the problems we had in high school deciding who would get dressed in the morning. We had a very femmie ( ... )
