I wonder if Eliezer has or should read this review of Ender's Game (a book I never read myself, but the reviewer seems to provide a useful warning to authors).
Ouch! I -- I actually really enjoyed Ender's Game. But I have to admit there's a lot of truth in that review.
Now I feel vaguely guilty...
There's a pretty obvious defense; even if it is just pornography that appeals to a different emotion, it's still damn good pornography!
Or the ever popular "there's something wrong with pornography?"
You feel guilty about using porn? How did you send us a message from the mysterious 20th century?
