  • Reviewing the Joker II movie:

    I didn’t think it was horrible. I thought the musical aspect could have been removed entirely and it would have gone up a point. It’s ultimately true to the spirit of the first movie. If the first movie made Arthur too sympathetic, this movie over corrected that a bit. Arthur is ultimately someone who was failed more than he failed himself. Him more or less saying it’s all his fault at the end just seems weird considering how the inciting incident was mostly forced upon him.

    Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a villain at the end of the day, but a tragic one nonetheless. He was thrown into an unwinnable situation, identified with the evil person they painted him as, and used that to justify his crimes.


  • Chaos tends towards order in aggregate, literally chaos control in action. Atom’s don’t really follow the traditional energy level model, they just have a reasonable probability of being somewhere along those lines. But the structures can be relatively stable and rocks don’t blink out of existence.

    Also spontaneous order is a well studied part of Chaos Theory. You’re wrong again.

    In conclusion, Shadow haters get the wall and you’re not a communist. ban-hammer






  • Cancer, diabetes, stem cells

    These are all incredibly complex problems that aren’t easily solved even with massive investment. This is like comparing sending a rocket to the moon and building a self-sustaining moon base. Most effective medicine has been about boosting the body’s ability to do its job or using naturally derived chemicals, vaccines, pain killers, penicillin, etc etc.

    We can’t really do that with cancer and stuff like aging. We’ve been using chemicals derived from millions of years of evolution to do delicate, effective work. Now we’re trying to build our own but we’re nowhere near as precise yet.
