QUESTION: When reading Mr. Card's belief, I was just as hopeful and delighted as I was with reading his PASTWATCH piece. What I am inquiring though, did he have an experience in his life that compelled him to change his life as the "new" Christopher Columbus did? I'm doing a research essay for a critical thinking class about the PASTWATCH book and Card.

OSC REPLIES:

Sorry this is so late. But the answer is a simple one: I have had no life-changing revelatory experience analogous to the one Columbus had in Pastwatch. My life changes come far more incrementally or opportunistically.
