It’s the only way.

This does work 100% btw. Can have minor side effects tho.

Ah, the Ender Wiggin solution.
Dkarma@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Wiggin was a pawn tho. He had no idea he was killing anything, certainly not a species. If anyone deserves the named solution it’s Graff. Rackham to a lesser extent.
This is borne out in speaker for the dead where ender devotes himself to finding a viable world for the new hive queen.

He also didn’t know he was killing the kid at the beginning on the story either, but he definitely meant to make sure that he wouldn’t be bullying anyone anymore.

I think it’s more of a book reference to his fight with bonzo, who was bullying ender. Ender was a few years younger and knew he had to win the fight “permanently,” so it’s inferred that he knew what he was doing.
Iirc, the officials told ender that bonzo was sent home, which was surprising since ender thought he killed bonzo. In reality, he did actually kill bonzo and was lied to about it.

His goal was to demonstrate that he was a crazy animal. That was the thing he was hoping would keep the bullying away: demonstrating a lack of constraint.
It wasn’t so much about disabling the other boy as about establishing an image as an unpredictable enemy.

Fair but ender himself says he never meant to kill bonzo or the kid in his earth school.
