Do you see it? That is what historians do, make games with the cause and effect, when the issue is that there are periods in which the world changes, and the voice precise in the precise place can move the world
The quote reflects the role of historians in interpreting events by exploring cause and effect, much like players in a game. Historians analyze how specific events shape larger historical narratives, suggesting that the impact of individual voices can lead to significant changes in the course of history.
This idea emphasizes the importance of timing and context in both history and storytelling. Just as characters in Orson Scott Card's "Ender's Game" can affect their world, the right words or actions at a pivotal moment in history can resonate and provoke transformation on a grand scale.
