[meta]On the opinion of Earth and how to change it in the long run

[Ebony]

The problem with that is that some fen, in particular the Institute are dedicated to narrowing the schism between fen and 'dane. They don't do it by shoving it in peoples' faces, though. Blackstone and company play the long game, shifting perceptions of the youth and less-close-minded toward acceptance and understanding. Keep in mind that Blackstone himself is one of the older fen; he has literally experienced the development of geek culture into the mainstream over forty years or so of life. He knows it happens, and he understands that if he doesn't shove things into 'danes' faces, but rather is there, smiling and helpful, when they look and see, then they'll realize that fen are Just People.
