    Haven’t read Orion. Arborification?

    Orson Scott Card is a curious cat. He seems quite intelligent and open-minded until we get to his homophobia. It would be irresponsible not to speculate…

    If you want to see philosophers duke it out, read Orson Scott Card’s Alvin Maker series alongside Robert Anton Wilson’s Illuminatus! trilogy.

      I don’t give a flying fuck about OSC’s philosophy of anything at all, in particular.

      Neanderthals in particular on Orion. AI, “The Devil” & their relationship with trees and what trees were like, then. Much better a perspective that OSC, certainly.
