Cynique I don't take sides . If an argument is poignant I am going to say it's on the nose. That's one for the writers and the thinkers

What is the translation of je ne sais quoi. So I think this is a good point to end. Since you and I don't communicate well, and it takes too much effort to explain things. I ask you what schools you went to and you post the abbreviations, one of which I couldn't find. So why I am working hard to understand a person who in your words doesn't care to be understood. @Kalexander2

@Troy I am going to carefully delineate the points I was making. The Identity, Social responsibility, Allegiance, Tradition, Change, Appropriation , Reclaiming vs Theft. That museum piece with KM saying you stole from me and you don't me, but I am taking my $h1+ back. What about some of the realy funny lines that were super deep. Don't scare me mister colonizer. I am king. You can not speak. I'll feed you to my kids. We are vegetarian. That line referencing the following, sovereignty, perceived superiority, protocol, assumptions about who is cannibal. And the character is aware of all of these layers. I would have rather died in the water than live a slave. That would be a better rallying cry than Wakanda Forever. So yeah It is a tight flick. It will be a college course or a dissertation within two years. Because it has so much depth that it an be discussed from many angles. How many angles can the Matrix be argued. Choice Free will Leadership Responsibility. The difference is because it is clearly not this world the arguments are abstractions. While BP has abstraction and more concrete concerns. Finally I believe that those associated with the film will either fund a scholarship or find a way to give back much like the Black Panther did at the end of the movie. So celebrity will lend itself to a noble cause, and this in precedented. That is the short version.

Pioneer has strong points.

@Troy Pioneer doesn't need to know science or the scientific method to discuss science. Since he is stating his opinion not scientific fact. Indeed most discussions here involve non expert opinions. And while you are the resident engineer Pioneer need not accept that as validation of your opinion. Unless you are making a distinction between when you are putting forth an opinion or currently accepted scientific facts. If your argument is convincing on its on merits without resorting to science that leaves and impression on me. That's what Jesus did in the bible. @Pioneer1

The movie has the following themes: Loyalty Tradition Change Identity Justice Morality Retribution and Love. For Troy it may be a dumb movie but I would rank it with Star Wars and the Matrix Trilogy. How long before or gets its own University course or becomes a dissertation. Probably by May June 2019 or a little over a year.

Brother and sister is also a amicable greeting. Which is ironic in that you've been a unifying element through your character observations. You act more like a strict father than a brother. I am making a observation sbout your lack of awareness of your environment the people in it and your persona. I am not attempting to either educate you or inform you. That is a thankless job without pay. so on both counts it is of no interest to me. You are a welcome addition. You add a certain , I don't know what to the proceedings . Pardon my French.

I don't think so he moved his whole team to California so that he could trade an extra 3 hours a day.

I am very impressed Pioneer. I thought Pioneer had you with the ancestral thing but you smashed that with the US no less. I don't lnow about ancestral worship in Europe but hey did have it in Rome.I believe it was Vesta for the Romans and Hestia for the Greeks.

@Kalexander2 What school conferred your degrees?

@Troy I was temping there in the Autumn of 1986. That Christmas the company gave a 30% of base pay bonus to their 10,000+ employees on top of that there were merit bonuses. That year Michael Milliken was paid $500 million in bonus. I was there for the market crash. When I left they were being investigated. I saw Milliken twice he seemed really intense. I also saw Reggie Lewis and said hello.

There are other astronomical structures In many parts of the world. Perhaps it was with the assistance of aliens. In which case they favored the Egyptian over all nations. It's the only of the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.

Certain things blow my mind. "Light is stronger than gravity. "

Dont worry It's a non event.

No problem.

You are either overestimating your intelligence/knowledge or underestimating mine. Neither of which is an induction for dialogue. Wally Famous Amos Berry Gordy are neither White nor Jewish .

You did.

Levitation would either invalidate the laws of physics require new laws to be written or exist in a category with special rules. I believe in keeping an open mind. However that doesn't mean that I want to spend my resources pursuing some ideas.

@Pioneer1 good points.

@Kalexander2 @Troy @Cynique I just saw this. And now I understand why Cynique said I had been to University. So no I have nothing to say about statistics and probably very little about anything else Kalexander2

What jobs will remain after technology is steadily making various jobs obsolete.

Why wouldn't I know SPSS in your mindetails.

It has no relationship to will Donald Trump be the next president. @Kalexander2 Can you move this to its own thread @Troy

@Kalexander open a separate thread. You are way off topic. @Troy

What lead you to believe this?
