Talking to people and examining writing will usually drop references to a couple of other places to explore, or to unanswered questions that are worth looking into. Even if they seem minor, these almost inevitably lead to putting together pieces of the larger story, regardless of which pieces you start with. I don't specifically remember what whistling guy talks about, but it sounds like that's the only potential lead you've found so far. It's certainly possible to make progress without ever talking to him, via all kinds of things that can be independently stumbled on, but if you haven't found anything else I bet revisiting his dialogue will give you an idea on where to search next.

(Okay, I checked the wiki and can confirm that, while Esker is not the richest source of new options in the game, his dialogue does include instructions that lead to new threads for you to pull on)

Where have you visited so far? Usually I'd think you've encountered something other than the ship within a few hours, and most of the things you can encounter should give you ideas as to what else to explore. Have you literally only floated around in the ship, or is that a way of saying that the things you've found aren't interesting to you?

Meanwhile in English we just borrow things from other languages and forget what they mean. For example, porpoise, from old French porpois, from Latin porcus marinus, meaning... ah, yes: sea pig.

It's a fictional diary entry, from The Prestige. The next entry is 2 months later, when he's fallen in love with a different woman.

You mean stashed in your mental cheek pouches.

Running for office and voting are unrelated things with separate criteria. You can be president if you are a natural born citizen over 35 who has lived in the US for at least 14 years.

You might have been thinking that losing voting rights entails losing citizenship, but that is not the case.
