"if called by a panther, don't anther"
http://www.okayplayer.com/culture/ryan-coogler-michael-b-jordan-reteam-wrong-answer-movie.html Cogler and Jordan plan on doing a movie about the richest man in history http://thesource.com/2018/02/19/ryan-coogler-and-michael-b-jordan-wants-to-bring-mansa-musa-to-the-big-screen/ These two Brothers know how to work the system. So now the next couple of movies are more realistic based on their success with Black Panther. You ring the register the studio let's you make a smaller movie. Although based on the success of their previous collaboration they may get an epic budget. So if they do a small budget film that does box office. They can make an epic film. Not because it's the right thing to do but because it's a good investment.

Only snippets, but I know how it ends.

You did @Troy I agree the statement is bizarre. And you made it first. The beauty though is that you didn't see your post right above mine. Clarity indeed.

The Science Delusion
Your not understanding me isn't a function of my writing. Does anyone write with perfect clarity and fidelity. That statement by you is symptomatic of our communication problems. You make some gross generalizations. Like saying an opinion is wrong. A science as a society is different from society. If I call you on it you get defensive. Sometimes you come across authoritative. Maybe that's just my perception.

If someone else understand what I wrote and you don't .Then perhaps it is not my inability to communicate...

Does that mean Christians can't be mathematicians? Since reliqion and science are incompatible Isaac Newton was the last Magician/Scientist or it became less popular to openly be both. Do you realise how wrong you are. I'll give you some time to see if you can work it out.

Yes which is why drugs and alcohol are popular. "Reality Is For People That Can't Handle Drugs Group" David Foster Wallace Infinite Jest pg 707

The Science Delusion
The amount of time you spent asking the question is more than the time it would have taken to find the answer. Didn't you create your own search engine. Tedie had an astrologer give a talk and it wasn't banned. Isn't Ted suppose to discuss ideas. They could have chosen to refute some of his points. I don't agree with all of his points. Yet his position raises am interesting question about science or rather scientists. It's interesting that Zahir understands my point yet you do not. Why do you suppose that's the case.

Images define the culture. Just ask The Invisible Man.

Troy and Pioneer you had issues about Viola Davis and how she was presented. The Black Panther has a broad spectrum of believable black characters. Yet no love from you two. Weren't we talking about not being represented in the culture. This Halloween white kids will want to be the Black Panther.

"It's a film with Black Female warriors. The Tech nerd is a woman. The bad guys are white and their leader is black. " Beth. How often are any one of those elements in a film. You can criticise the film. The villain is noble and heroic. Yes it is a movie. But it is making Black people very visible and it's a compelling story. So despite all of its flaws it's is a compelling piece of social commentary. Did you know the character predated the Black Panther movement.

"if called by a panther, don't anther"
A Black story, predominately Black cast and Black director and writer. And it is the hottest movie out, and it is ringing the register. This is historic i read Cynique's link. yeah the movie has some societal issues. But it is worthy of discussion. Look at the range of characters. The tech head , the warriors, revolutinary, killers, theives. Yet they are undeniably black without being sterotypical. Black peope posting their exuberance and disdain. Man this is like Obama but with a better ending.

Bringing Fire...
If I had a love affair that isn't working and has me feeling low. I would rather listen to love songs sad or happy might work, than someone explain what is happening to my physiology or psychology. I want to find some meaning for my situation. As opposed to some knowledgeable psychologist telling me some facts. For me Mythology/poetry/music centers around both meaning and feeling. Science is in a different sphere. However both can assist in defining identity.

The Science Delusion
Thank you for clarifying that, Zaji. @Troy is that clear to you now. I would believe it that's your modus operandi.
-
The Science Delusion
Troy you are the first person to mention it was banned. I posted it but I didn't mention it was banned. I also stated I hadn't watched it yet. @Troy Zahir and Mel both commented on the link. So it should be pretty easy to find.

Because music can create change or deepen a mood. A song has assisted me end a relationship and quit a job. If you haven't experienced this try listening to a movie without the soundtrack.

The Science Delusion
It isn't important enough for you to check. It was important enough that I supplied a link and encouragement. Not certain why you think our positions are similar.
-
The Science Delusion
Why should I spend my time when it isn't that important to you? Or why ask me to do something you can do for yourself. Because it saves you time by me doing the leg work. Which sounds like I am your secretary or executive assistant .
-
The Science Delusion
My encouraging you to look it up doesn't cast doubt on my statement. You may not be aware but the above statement makes it sound like I work for you. It is clear that you don't care that much . Therefore I will expend the same amount of energy . No problem bro.

It signals that it's the best movie in the MCU. And Black orphans are going to love it.

Art mirroring life. I would also include love songs.

I prefer mythology to both.
