The Post Script Files

The little white dot left of center in this picture is the author Orson Scott Card—the author of Ender’s Game and a whole bunch of other books. He spoke at the school.

Listening to Orson Scott Card was kind of like reading his books. There are a few things that draw me in, like the book Ender’s Game did, and then other things—like most of his other books—that just don’t really hook me. As I listened to him though, he spoke about some things in a way I had never quite thought about before. Like how we can’t know things, but we can decide what things we will take as truth based what we experience. And that we have to be skeptical, but we decide what we will have faith in. If you are skeptical about everything, then you just have faith in skepticism.

Faith and skepticism aside, I spent the night Latin dancing. After I helped sculpt an ice cream head with the neighbors.
