Self-parody, or parody?
I agree that a pair of sped up minds will want between them a lower latency and higher bandwidth connection to experience the same ratio of thinking to communication that we're used to. I agree that the speed of light means that low latency requires close proximity.
I would expect minds separated by such a latency gulf to simply send longer messages. That's what a lot of human correspondents have historically done in similar situations, anyway, and it seems a reasonable way to continue communication. But perhaps I'm being parochial.
