quote:The general argument [of Curtis’s work] seems to be that history is made by individuals and not larger historical or social forces, that ideas are always to be suspected (especially those of philosophers and scientists), and we shouldn’t trust people with plans for improving things

Just saw the last 45 minutes of A Quiet Place 2. I don't recommend it. If you want to deal yourself immense psychic damage, listen to the cast and crew talk about how very very deep and meaningful and clever the movie is. Immediately after I posted this, they started succing at 10x force.  This is so grim.

^ ^ ^ I didn't see the first movie and I feel like I will watch Centaurworld first (I quit 5 minutes in because it was obviously generated by algorithm). The A Quiet Place 2 cast and crew commentating on a gridiron match: "Well, you see, gridiron was invented by homo sapiens as a showcase of their physical prowess and affinity for launching gourd-sized objects over short to medium distances." "Yeah you can tell the guys here are really determined because they're running really fast around this big, delineated field." "I think what really sets gridiron apart from all other sports is the creativity of wearing a helmet and shoulderpads, because we haven't always had shoulderpads, you know, in terms of human evolution, and that, I think, is very inspiring." "Victory isn't always a sure thing when your opponent runs around the field at the same as you. It takes determination to run and throw objects like you see the gridiron players doing, and I really think that comes across here in this particular gridiron match." "Sometimes when a player breaks the rules of the game, they might receive a penalty from a referee, because it's not really a fair match if one team is allowed to perform maneuvers the other team isn't, as it would put the compliant team at a major tactical disadvantage to the other team."

Probably not gonna see the Peacemaker show. They're gonna make intro a lib character for Cena to bounce off of and to justify atrocities in the name of freedom. It'll just be the Dick, Pussy and Assholes speech from Team America for 10 episodes.

Cosmopolis had a mixed reaction when it came out, but it's a very CSPAM movie https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8WFKdIBdpjM There's a scene where the head of the IMF gets stabbed to death in front of a mural of Kim Il-sung. The movie has a bunch of dumbass anarchists protesting domestically and doing media stunts, while Robert Pattison gets destroyed when he bets again China. Robert Pattison seems to be playing the character that Epstein imagined himself to be as well.

A Buttery Pastry posted:Translated into content creator: Used the drama to farm more views. Though I suppose the real trick would've been to make it a video series with a lot of shorter videos. apparently the consensus is very much in favour of single long videos, algorithm-wise at the moment. but yeah, it's hard not to view the whole thing with a degree of cynicism.
