Whether or not to inform someone they might experience ego death and meld minds is an ethical issue, not a social one. It's not being thoughtlessly rude, it's ignoring someone's personhood to instrumentalize them. Another issue I suspect will not be adequately explored.

100,000 past lives would, figuring an average 20 years per life, stretch back to the beginning of homo habilis, an issue I doubt this book is going to engage with. Even a thousand lives would be pre-settlement humans, thousands of years from the neolithic revolution. Do a little napkin math, people.
