They choose according to their individual preferences and values. But bankers are inherently inclined toward statism...."

maybe theres someone versed in history and linguistics here:
is anyone aware of research to reconstruct/validate mythology using neighboring mythologies by representing them as ontologies like "persephone is the daughter of zeus and demeter" and searching for similar logical patterns?
to give an example, the similarity of some of the norse gods and the roman and greek gods is accepted. i wonder if there might be other hidden similarities to be found by comparing those things systematically. the _concepts_ these mythological systems had might be much more old than either of those specific myths. i'd venture that at least for the larger language families there should be similarities and basic concepts to view the world. would be pretty interesting to search for those concepts, not only discovering them by accident.
i have the feeling this is a rather low hanging fruit aside the leg work of doing the transfer of the source texts into a logical system. this must already have been done by someone :)

Republicans screaming about personal responsibility and loan payback while they support the king of bankruptcy is just more than my mind can process

Muck Zuckerberg is actually a midwit.
He could be any of my idiot burner friends I lost.
He's not intelligent, he doesn't actually know much, he may have read books, but didn't understand them, he's not a child of wonder that is forever questioning the world.
He's flat out stupid.
This softy interview is only furthering my opinion that we are experiencing more incompetency, not malice in most cases.
And i wish joe treated this dick like he treats his ACTUAL friend alex jones

I'm transfinancial. I'm a trillionaire now and if you try to stop me from buying things I "can't afford" then you're oppressing me with your social constructs.

Self-proclaimed "prophet Robin Bullock reports that God is very upset about the FBI search of Mar-a-Lago: "God didn't like that. It didn't sit well in Heaven."
if we didn't have conspiracy wackos all we'd have is politicians and marketing

You can totally do things in visual or text ways, but the effects on the audience will be different depending on which you choose.
It's up to the artist to decide which effect is most appropriate.
In film-making the main rule is "show don't tell" but sometimes telling without showing works really really well:

If they'd done this scene as a flashback it would have been immensely expensive but also perhaps not as emotionally moving.
