I have only seen five of the movies thumbnailed in this feature. Four of them in the “Triumph” section.

Kritic’s Korner: great short overall, but I would have loved to have seen the end of Inception in the Transcendence category.

25 of them for me. Some in a very long time and no desire to see again. Some of them are iconic film making such as the one from “The Searchers”.

I just realized that the Doctor created the moth of all space-time paradoxes at the end of The Name of the Doctor.

15 Charles Johnson  Sun, Sep 22, 2013 5:43:18pm

I may have to go out and score some meth to get ready for tonight’s episode of Breaking Bad. Just because.

And how do those effect a Time Lord?

He stepped into his own corpse (timeline, to clarify) to get Clara back.

He was at the same spot at the same time, in a state of both being alive and dead. He became Schrodinger’s Doctor.

I think the 50th will revolve around the paradox that was created.

If you noticed any strangeness today at LGF, it’s because I was revamping the whole way our code sets the font sizes. It was time to untangle an ungodly mess of dependencies and cascading inheritances, and I’ve pretty much got it straightened now. Kind of like untangling that horrible mess of cables behind the computer desk. Feels good to get it done.

I realized what a mess it was when I changed the body font to Open Sans, then had to adjust sizes to make it readable, and then encountered the ungodly mess when I tried to do that. Changing one font affected other fonts, sometimes in ways that were fiendishly difficult to understand.

It’s all better now. Some of that code has been in there for more years than I like to admit, and it got a pretty thorough going over.

And a forced Roethlisberger fumble gives the Bears great field position. But the Bears may not be able to capitalize.

Evolution and modern theories of human origins, and racism, run deep, all around the world:


The Peking Man Delusion

[…]


And while academics in China rage against the grain, the Chinese public is less than perturbed by stirrings in the scientific realm. Ask the average Chinese person who they evolved from, and the likely answer is “Peking man”. Suggest an African ancestor in response, and whole gamut of reactions to this bizarre notion is likely to surface. Ms. Zhang Yanfang, a 67-year-old Beijinger and retired office manager, on learning of the Africa theory, replied that she was not even aware such a hypothesis existed, “I’ve never heard of such a thing,” Zhang replied, saying that she grew up learning, like every other Chinese person, that she descended from the Peking man. “I think it’s quite unlikely that we are related to Africans; the difference is too great in every respect—including that of race.”

While general ignorance might fuel popular skepticism towards ROAH, for many the disbelief in an African origin lies in the notion that the Chinese, with its unique and illustrious history, the longest continuing civilization in the world, and the creator of some of the greatest inventions ever, could fundamentally be “non-Chinese” in any way. Professor Frank Dikötter, Chair Professor of Humanities at the University of Hong Kong and author of The Discourse of Race in Modern China, believes that intellectualism can be strongly influenced by a cultural context, noting a similar resistance in the West to the multiple origins theory in the 19th century, “Monogenesis until recently was a view with its own cultural background. Despite the fact that Charles Darwin and others were talking in the name of science, it was very clear that Christianity and the idea of Adam and Eve provided a strong setting.” In China, views opposing this began emerging at the end of the 19th Century, when thinkers, likely influenced by strong Confucianism, says Professor Dikötter, “insisted that Africans and Europeans came from one single origin, but that the Chinese were completely different.” The discovery at Zhoukoudian several decades later reinforced this view: “Chinese scientists took it to be proof that China is one long line of uninterrupted descent.”

[…]

Stripped of cultural and historical connotations, the issue of race may be more than a mere reverence for one’s own. There exists a widely carried unfavorable perception of Africa and the African people. Both Professor Dikötter and Professor Sam Crane, Chair and Professor of Political Science at Williams College, Massachusetts, agree that these views have a part to play in the debate. Such sentiments were demonstrably brought to the fore in 2009 when Lou Jing, a 20 year old mixed-race Shanghai woman whose father is of African-American descent, appeared on the TV talent contest Go! Oriental Angel. After speaking of what it meant to be Chinese, she almost immediately became a target of online abuse and slurs centered on the color of her skin. Many netizens were insulted that she considered herself Chinese at all, exposing the realities of identity and racial prejudices in modern day China.

Maybe that’s why cats appear so often on the show. Much more often than Dogs, at least.

That’s one of the many ways in which creationism intersects with racism.

Speaking racism, I see the latest Flaherty racist piece over at WND (which I linked downstairs) is now loaded with comments that are overtly violent, very violent. It’s starting to surpass Stormfront.

It may also be that the intelligence of the Doctor requires association with a cat, as opposed to the stupidity of a dog.

One of the dumber arguments I recall from those types is, durr hurr, monkeys are dark and so are black people therefore darwinists who say we came from monkeys are Teh Real Racists™, herp derp

Really? All monkeys are dark? 9_9

I hit 17 which surprised me; I’m not much of a movie person.

re: #25 freetoken

Yeah, doesn’t surprise me. Though it does remind me that I do need to check if there are any new posts at johnhawks.net - blog of paleoanthropology, genetics and evolution.
