Take today’s little quick examination of evil, and how our various definitions of it and its origins is going to run into the thorny problem of created sapience like a sports car running into a brick wall, and how this entire conversation drives practical men mad – since they want to know the answer, yet don’t want to listen to the implications of the question…
Well. It’s Howard Tayler. That Hugo nomination was for a reason.
Amen.
Thanks, by the way, for bringing that webcomic to my attention – it’s a lot of fun, and smart like few others.
And IMHO, Howard was treated poorly by the Hugo voting – he was out by the second round, shameful. But at least he got a nomination, and that’s a darn sight better than you or me.
Given who he was up against… well.
Yeah, he had some stiff competition, all right. Faced with that choice, I don’t know how I would have voted myself.
