Karass—Humans psychically directionally aligned. I’m beginning to suspect that Orson Scott Card is a member of my karass. Is “Card” his real name, or a play on words—Valentine was supposed to have written Ender’s story. Is Ender’s Game Orson’s Valentine Card? Ender’s Game introduces the concept of memetics.

Am I god-spoken without an adviser? Even if not my dupras, definitely part of my karass. I like her ass.
