Inhumi eyes and names

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Right. Or they are too alien to care, or don't need the sun. But the 
inhumi are plainly only as inhuman as their inability to feed on us 
makes them. i.e., they are a classically Wolfean form of human.

For me, the juxtaposition of sun and stars suggests gnosticism---that 
one can only truly see without light. This certainly suggests willful 
blindness, unless there is truth to the statement.

i should note that the reason I associate Krait-vision with spaceflight 
is that any creature with sensitive eyes would be blinded in 
near-stellar space, so there would need to be some mechanism to prevent 
that.
