It's kind of surreal. He calls it Stress.
So maybe it is a little applicable. Maybe he was thinking Ender is under a lot of stress.

One thing that hasn't been discussed is addiction. I've seen relationships crumble from addiction to pornography. I've seen two divorces. Children losing their father. If you can't not use porn, then you're addicted. Besides addiction, porn bothers me for a number of reasons. First of all, it exploi...

For those of us who say Grace, I like to try to think about what I'm actually saying every time, and be truly grateful. Certain I don't always succeed. In fact, I rarely succeed. But Thanksgiving always brings this back to my thoughts. Farmers have worked hard. Animals gave their live, plants have g...

One other problem with the egocentric vs geocentric is the possibility that if we are the only planet where the Savior was born, what truly sets us apart? That we were evil enough to kill him in the first place, and this is why God sent him here. To the rest of the universe, we are the Orcs. You are...

Ela is a very cool mom. She and her two kids stayed at our house during EnderCon. Her kids are cool too. A few years ago at another convention that was local, my mom happened to be in town. My daughter had read Ender's Game. My mom was a fan of Alvin Maker. All three of us went and had a 3 generatio...

Interesting. So having a God that loves EVERYONE in the universe is egocentric? Because that one is not a speculation. It's a pretty well established Mormon belief. The thing is, the step after realizing that God loves you as an individual (supposedly egocentric) is realizing that God loves everyone...

Larsen seemed to populate a galaxy (before depopulating it) with humans as well, Mobius. It's a bit of a joke and an embarrassment to some Mormons that he is Mormon. I know who Roddenberry is. I was probably a Trekkie before you were born, and I remember the first airing of the TNG episode where the...

You mean Glen A Larson (Battlestar Galactica)? I'm with Slim. Aliens. Cool. So let's twist this into some bizarre Mormon speculation. And trust me. This one is out there. Is Jesus Christ the Savior of everyone or just the people on Earth? So what if it was every sentient being God created? So somewh...

Hey Steph, Just think, when we all think back to our moms, is it how they fed us as babies that makes us admire them? Breastfeeding is wonderful, yadda, yadda but more important is the snuggling, the gazing into the eyes, that connection you make when you play with them and teach them that they are ...

Sigh. I've determined that Nanowrimo is not for me this year. Already have to much writing on my plate, and it is non-fiction and I've already started it. Plus our geekatplay tutorials. 2 birthdays, thanksgiving, and a toddler. If I do Nano next year, it will mean that I have finished both the non-f...

I've been thinking about it, and organizing stuff in my head. But my little guy was throwing up all day yesterday, and then I had my work in the evening. (www.geekatplay.com) He's fine now, but I"m still not organized enough to write anything down. Maybe later today.

It was the novel I read. Though I have now acquired a copy of the Analog where the short story was first published. It was actually Seventh Son that introduced me to OSC, and Red Prophet wasn't out yet, but we found Ender's Game from the same cool author we'd just discovered (I'm speaking about the ...

Hi Janus, I hope it is okay to do these publicly. Very interesting premise for a story. If I get it, you have a girl who is periodically inhabited by an AI, maybe while she is working on things virtually. I know you're having a hard time starting this story, so I'm very sorry to give you this advice...

Dear Grandma, You are my hero. One of my earliest memories of you is heavy with familiarity and love. It was hardly my first experience with you. Mundane and practical, you told me not to bite my lips and then you put an unpleasant smelling but healing salve on them. My sister and I were staying at ...

Rei is right. We shouldn't mistake a church organization's support of dogma for theology. This would be like mistaking the academic establishment for science. You say dogma as if it were confined to religion, and science is above such a thing. Let me give you a similar example, though it wasn't quit...

I used to be of the school of thought that objected to macro-evolution and not micro-evolution. This was based on the statement by one leader in our church in a book that the church did not endorse as a statement of church doctrine. He said that there could be no species to species evolution. For th...
