feotakahariTo the limited extent that Winnowers interact, they don’t have the same taboo against social “backstabbers” that humans do. Ploys to elevate your social standing are generally legitimate, and aren’t expected to cause grudges unless you do something really awful. There are still a few standards, though, like “don’t frame people for crimes.”
Winnower “insight” can hilariously derail a social ploy sometimes. You have an idea to discredit them, and then they suddenly know what you’re doing while you’re still setting up.
Winnower “insight” is a massive security risk. If you know classified information, you cannot meet face-to-face with Winnowers. There seems to be a range limit on “insight,” though, so phone calls are still fine.
Winnowers don’t packbond, but they can still come to value someone in their own way. The Winnower word for this is roughly equivalent to “esteemed rival.”
Winnowers can intellectually understand the concept of altruism, and some Winnowers band together to protect folks from starvation, natural disasters, etc. It’s not universal, but it’s not universal for us to help homeless people, either.
