Perception and pain are but one and the same. So... go ahead... Feel my pain for yourself!The final installment of our miniseries on Xenosaga Episode I is here! We reach an exciting conclusion, but are ultimately left with more questions than answers: Who were Albedo and Junior in their pasts?; What is Abel's Ark?; and why is Shion being drawn to Old Miltia? We unfortunately do not see these answers play out until episodes II and III. In this episode, we discuss the final areas of the game, see Albedo's true ruthlessness, and more.

Elsa Muñoz a la voz principal, Carlos Barceló al bajo, Pedro J. Carrillo a la guitarra y Juan Carlos Becerra a la batería y coros, conforman Le Mur, banda murciana de rock alternativo formada en 2015. En su repertorio de influencias podemos encontrar tintes muy variados que van desde el metal, el stoner, el math o hasta el post-rock. Su temática lírica gira en torno a la introspección, auto-superación, rotura de barreras y vivencias personales. En su catálogo cuentan ya con un EP homónimo (2015), su primer LP, 'El brote' (2017), y ahora, tras duros años de pandemia, cambio de formación y férrea composición del disco, nos presentan su segundo trabajo, 'Caelum Invictus'. Ha sido un largo proceso de composición, producción y grabación que ha abarcado casi un año. De esta última se ha encargado Santi García, al igual que con 'El brote', en los estudios Ultramarinos Costa Brava. El mastering corre a cargo de Víctor García en Ultramarinos Mastering. Para la preproducción del disco han contado además con la ayuda de Manuel Cabezalí (Havalina) y Víctor Cabezuelo (Rufus T. Firefly). En este Caelum Invictus podemos apreciar una notable evolución en su sonido, composición y también a nivel de estructura y temática.

This light once symbolized civilization – the very will of the human race. But what can be gleaned from the light we see today? The people of this world have cast away their will to create, drowning themselves instead in an endless cycle of consumption…This week, Rick is joined by Chris (Retro Hangover) and Nick (Friday Night Gamecast) to dive into a cult classic from the minds of Tetsuya Takahashi and Soraya Saga, Xenosaga Episode I: Der Wille zur Macht. This ambitious JRPG from the 2000s is a spiritual successor to the masterpiece Xenogears, and shares some DNA in its thematic identity and story concepts. In this episode, we explore the development and its troubles, the score, set a general foundation for the game, and discuss a few hours into the story.

James has a fun conversation with the East Coast based performer. YawnyBlew is the brainchild of Brooklyn-based songwriter Johny Gonzalez. Debuting in 2020, YawnyBlew was initially a vehicle to showcase music during the global pandemic, but eventually evolved into a vehicle for self discovery, artist expression and industry reform for the Grammy and NME nominated creative. Beginning his professional songwriting career in 2017, Yawny scored his first placement “Light It All Up” for the television series Empire. Produced by Rodney Jerkins, the protest anthem was featured in season 3 and sung by Rumer Willis. He would go on to pen three additional songs that season for Jussie Smollett, a major win for Yawny, a queer boy from The Bronx, NY who dreamed of uplifting others like himself with his music. In the years since, Yawny has been working hard behind the scenes writing for the likes of Keiynan Lonsdale, Dyllon Burnside, Maeta, Cocoa Sarai and Cam Anthony. He would be one of the key creatives behind Thai Pop singer Pyra, who's music has been called “dystopian pop” and features themes of feminism, self discovery, queer exploration and more. Their work together scored several NME Award nominations in 2022. Later that same year he would mentor under Pharrell Williams while crafting songs for TikTok star Marley Bleu. As YawnyBlew, he unapologetically champions body positivity and queerness on songs like “Can't Compete,” and “Curious?” made in collaboration with Brooklyn based multi-hyphenate Tarik “amir.” Carroll. Their collaborative debut DREAMBIIG was released in Oct 2023. Elsewhere on solo songs like “driveslow,” Yawny talks about figuring out life on your own terms while not being afraid to live authentically. Following the launch of his podcast BIIGGER THAN OUR DREAMS in 2022, Yawny has been stepping out more into the public speaking realm, discussing issues that directly affect marginalized creatives and how they show up in the world. His abilities to tell other's stories through his journalist works (The Source Magazine, The Music Times) and podcast endeavors caught the attention of tech giant META, where Yawny serves as a Music Coordinator and communication strategist for Meta's Music. yawnyblew.com

Well look who came crawling back... John returns for swimming with Porn Stars, Body shots, unfortunate yachting accidents and John's Quiz Piranh-Ya or Piranh-Na! --- Piranha 3D is a 2010 American 3D horror comedy film that serves as a loose remake of the comedy horror film Piranha (1978) and an entry in the Piranha film series. During spring break on Lake Victoria, a popular waterside resort, an underground tremor releases hundreds of prehistoric, carnivorous piranhas into the lake. Local cop Julie Forester (Elisabeth Shue) must join forces with a band of unlikely strangers—though they are badly outnumbered—to destroy the ravenous creatures before everyone becomes fish food. Directed by Alexandre Aja, the film stars Elisabeth Shue, Adam Scott, Jerry O'Connell, Ving Rhames, Jessica Szohr, Steven R. McQueen, Christopher Lloyd and Richard Dreyfuss. A sequel, Piranha 3DD, was released in 2012. Piranha 3D received generally positive reviews, with film critics praising it as a fun and entertaining B-movie. --- Transcription: Hello everyone, and welcome back to a hundred things we learned from film, The podcast with me and with my co host John. Welcome back, big man. Guess it was back back on crack. I'm a man. How are you doing? I'm all right. It's been a long time. It's been there.

So we'll see what happens with this over the next few months, but we will certainly be providing you with some filmatic action trainings. Nearly, almost back than straight training day. Oh God, if it was great, done it really agree virgin media? It got shit on me. Yes, so we're the PODCAST. God, it kind of remember what we do where the podcast stress little a hundred things from every film that we talked about.

It's like a ran and you're a John. What do we watch? Yeah, de Thosan tens, very under or over rated, Rana, D, Perrana D. now, first of all, before we even get started anything else, the D in this right, as on Netflix? I that you were some Netflix as well. Right. Yes, the D on this has not been scaled particularly well. So they've just basically flattened the D to make it look like the shunkiest effects in the world. As bad. It's really bad. Yeah, loose shut a place, everything's place, because it's maybe d but it's just rubbish. Yeah, absolutely, he had had a couple, had a couple of high points. Yeah, Oh, yeah, yeah, definitely.

There is one of the NARNIA farms documented one time and one I really enjoy it. I'm probably need go back to is shot island. Yeah, now and know the ending.

Mission going to go on O goal. Okay, on on, and that's two thousand and ten smashing. Let's run through it, right. We Start Open with this mess of Messathlific era dig site. Right, so I was kind of like, Oh, the mess of Mesolithic era, that's quite interesting. Yet so a Dick site is basically what they're doing is they're looking for fossils, but there's nobody there and there's nothing happening. Instead, in a boat there's a bloke showing singing, show me the way to go home. It was a bit on the fucking nose for me. There's really as an it kin, southern that was made famous by drawers. Yeah, and it was rectual grevous. Second it Richard Drive for singing it. Yeah, at the the song is by Mitch Miller. Right, yeah, Bitch. Miller was a famous musician. Reached number one in the US with yellow rows of Texas and number one in the UK with Senor, Senor Sena. He died on his ninety nine birthday. While there you guys, I've seen him. Well, couplay someone's it was written in nineteen twenty five by role their songwriters, Jimmy Campbell and Reggie Connelly. All right, yeah, so's the bag. It's can't imagine anything as Popul one nine hundred twenty five than that song. To be honest, I'm saying a few times when a way back, if we bloody problems, and I from from the drinking, drinking and brilliant, it's really strange that it's the one thousand Nin hundred and twenty five song, yet they're all singing that in like one thousand nine hundred and seventy eight. It's jewels. So, yeah, right, weems like fifty years old at that point, because I was looking at the facts and all, look at look at up itself, and it just says was famous and needed really fire, but then had a resurgence after joys and it wasn't it.

They don't know whether it did, but it made it red and mid on the black stand. Oh, no, they did. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they didn't affect that was it. That was a good spot. Actually, I didn't think about that. We go to the titles. Perana, we learned that it's spring break. WHOO, spring break. We point one, yeah, which I looked up when it doesn't exist. Not, not a real not a real radio station. Now Spring Bake, screet, Spring Bake on man, I wish it was spring bake. That would be amazing. Some pies please. Spring break is a real thing. This year it was the twelve of the third to the nineteen of the third. However, I initially wrote down it was the the third of the twelve of fucking else, Spring Baker Christmas. We know American calendars. Yes, according to travel dot US Newscom the ten best spring break destinations are as follows jump cancoon, Miami Beach, Cabo St Lucas, Mordere, the Bahamas. Play at the Carmen Dante seventh circle of hell, Camden market on a bank holiday, Monday, firefest and Jeffrey Epstein's island. Ha, Ha for owing you. Just in just missed a government market.

I've been the hall, the CAN can. Yeah, they do common in order mode, but govern govern as. Where this is filmed is lake. Lake Victoria is what it's supposed to be, but the real location was lake have a suit in Arizona. Now, John, question for you. Do you remember when we discussed lake have a zoo and it's very, very famous. English bridge? London Bridge is London Bridge. But what film did we talk about Arizona? A character goes there on a work trip. One of your favorite impressions a John as a deaf as. Hey John, I'm going to Lake Ava. Sue Do some shooting. That's five man. That did me back. Yeah, well, long, long time ago. Attendance during spring break as take the down turn in recent years. I would just shoot covid the city is declined to issue permits to large party organizers. I can wow. What is still popular, though, is the Will Jet Ski Finals and the previously hosted chilling and swilling beer festival. I'm Bob God the chill and swollen better fast of all, shout out to drunk theory, previous guests. It hasn't taken place. It's pre covid most American sounding trailer park thing ever. That man is an I is. I looked up that lie like Victoria and as a link Victoria bits in Michigan, but it's all like look at this, it is two point seven square kilometers. That's the really big at all. Actually, no, you wouldn't want it. You wouldn't want your spring bait breaking mission going to be fucking Baltic. Well, I mixed that out for that properly, so will properly a lake. Victoria is one of the African's greatest leaks and there is sixty, doesn't eight hundred, descriptilomas. Okay, well, that victory false? Of course. Yeah, especially when she's drunk. And it was it was named. It was actually been in by Queen Victoria when the was called originally, but she renamed it. Of course you did wonder way she got it. Queen Linked Victoria? Maybe she'd heard the name previously? Who knows? All these awful teens which I instantly thought, I can't wait to see them die. Oh yeah, and then, as I watched the second time, I can't wait to see them all die second time in four days. Elizabeth shoe is the sheriff. You'll seelizabeth shoe a lot these days, do you really don't? Choosing a lot of good forms and the time and say the other classmakers is amazing. Is that you're going to say, as exactly what I was looking like. Yeah, and there's one. Is it Topchica with Vlk Volcla? I'm sure she's top secrets. I don't Jack, I'm I'm sure she's in. She's the origin maming about man. She's the original girlfriend in back to the future. Yes, yes, she's ticketing this drunk driver and he hits on her, but she's got these Jiu jitsu moves.

Just came back to me and said, Mr Plant, we did a tour of the Mrdy Graham Museum. Really Sound Lik him there. And the tradition came from Europe. The beads were glass and you're supposed to give out beats to people who exhibited the traits. The color of the beads represent it. Green, gold, purple, they all mean something. They started chucking them at Mardi Graarre in the states one thousand eight hundred, probably because they were drunk and or high, and probably though thought there were snakes trying to kill them. Then somehow the women lifting their shirts became a thing, probably in the s of s, because free love and all that Shit. Now the plastic beads have been found to majorly fuck up the environment, so that's something else we got going for us. Oh thanks, Josh for giving us a little bit of insight there into Josh one way or to Joshua's man, it's the vhs we need to see. It's the VHS we threw out urvcs for we had just seen that just anute or remembers. Bro Just had already crazy things on it. Then to ye there. Yeah, each's lots of man.

There's this team of seismologists incoming tomorrow to check in the quake and she's got to take them on the lake. She's reaching for the boat on the jetty. It collapses, this rotten old jet and it collapses and she falls in the water and you're like as you're gonna get paranad but she doesn't. She gets dry, for skips dry first. I lads just like this in enjoys when it when the the the dismembered body, comes into yeah, you know, you kind of like or this is a bit beat for Bee at times. She wants to close the lake because she's much better than the mare in Jews and Boris Johnson, who, of course, wanted us all to get covid and we've all had it now, John. Yeah, all at it now. Those a lot anyway. So it's anything that we heard done it. He had the immunity. But yeah, there's bad but heard of you did something, something, shitting in the bed.

Everyone's got hot take on it. I hope they're both sentenced to fucking death. The Johnny Twen book is a fucking monster and she's she's all just quite terrible human. Yeah, they're just rotten, rotten people. And they tell that thing with the fucking dogs in Australia. I still haven't got over that. That doesn't let that Sen yeah, we knew how dogs could be killed if we snook them into a country. We think we're being there rules, ever, in the proper apology right another it was not a proper apology and I love dogs. I wouldn't kill them, but I might have killed dogs just to kiss those two of that would have been good anyway. Moving them. The next day this guy jumps off a cliff. It's look and it's nothing. It's a nothing things in the morning jumps off the cliff into the water point and just a blood felt with Spurs. That's done and done. The kids are bribe by Jake Sixty Bucks and he gives them rules. Don't answer the phone or leave the house and don't say I'll be right back. A scream. That's I just watch that new one of them. Did you really? I we watched it a few weeks ago. That is like it spends the whole film nudging you in the ribs, going Ah, do your M do you remember? It's like a fucking Peter came. Thank do you remember the other film? You remember that? Can you think about a film you liked a lot more than this one? Think about it? Yeah, yeah, do you remember when before Monica from friends ruined a fucking face? Do you remember? Ladies Ladies, whatever you want to do with your faces is up to you. I'm just just making a an observation. Got See this all Bein pennel John, while you've been working, Ikond of leave you for any fucking chill out. The seismologist here. One of them's Adams Scott from parks and wrecks, because, as before, before he started playing the drive cool gay. Because unless it is a bet, was a couple of things, it's here, then it's a couple of things. It is obviously will probably looking at they're gone. Why the hell did I see that? I'm sad, mayor of ICETOWN, Adam scar yeah, at the boat. Jake runs into Kelly and she joins them on the boat. Yeah, they're going to take photos, but only after they've slid to a different dimension. First and now again, let's make a point. She's seventeen right, yes, before we go on. So there's a lot of fucking dodgy stuff in this. Back at the House the kids get this canoe to go to sand island to fish. Right now, Samd island isn't even a fucking island. It is like lips about. Thank yeah, it's a sad. The girl says I'm going to bring my trombone and he says no, you can't. You trum both stupid. And she says when I'm a rock star, you'll be sorry. He's like whatever, you play trombone and I'm like, listen, kid, have you never heard of SCA? You can get rich being a skin a scar band, as long as you don't mind split in your any money that you get fifty ways with massive Kelly Brooks all over him. Yeah, and he is seventeen years old, as I said before. So I look this up. In Arizona it's illegal to have sex with a something new, right, it be a teen. So she's a Peter. What's exactly book blood my mains that and and the STAS or the states. And either you're going to be sexteen or eighteen. Yeah, but you can and drink when your twenty one. I know. Yeah, I know, it's for seen. Yeah. And then so in some states you can get married at fourteen. She is parents permission. Yeah, crazy. You need be in some state to get minforting old trombone. I miss trombone. Trump bone comes from the Italian word Tromba, which means trumpet, plus the Suffix One, which means big. So it means it's big trumpet, which is my wrestling name. ha ha ha. Made it beg Google. So the kids get on this tiny embankment, she's absolutely nothing, and the canoe gets away from them. It does. Yeah, just like that bloke from Hartlepool. They're doing this swimming thing right, with this character crystal, yeah, and Kelly Brook, who's not, who's not a character, who's barely got a fucking line in the film, and the doing this this bit for flower duet. Oh Yeah, yes, the music. Yeah, this classical piece of music. So I know, I mean that's when it done, really see, but our character this, this is something about hundre. or She's too young. I'm still thinking that. Or too young, they do. Yeah, she was only seventeen years old. The Flower Day is a piece of music from the First Act of Leo Delhi Bearz Opera. Like me, it's debuted in Paris in one thousand eight hundred and eighty three and used in true romance when Christopher Walkin fucks up, Dennis hop so Jesus, that's a how what is that? I've actually youtube that copy things just didn't just remember. It's just such a beautiful scene. I haven't killed anybody since one thousand nine hundred and eighty four. They done so much fucking. Yeah, brolliant and your cantalog, it's good. The kids are trying to wave down a boat and the little girl gets a feet on these sharp stones. Fuck that make just a nice I was. That was the bit that hurt me the most in this world. Thought Stones in my lovely soft feet. Give it if the other actually looked up to see what's the most sort of common things and link them at the endor can leat so with the seeing the dear cleanups. So I was spending Bo from last when, all looking at the things that've gotten as the top five, pretty much, it seems, yours. Cigarette Butts, plastic bold and ball caps, food packaging, plastic bags and aluminum cans. See, you know, you are very good, son, and plastic beads. Buddy washes from body. I love she says. I love the fact that you that you said I thought it would be from broken glass. And it will know, because any Lennox isn't walk in unbroken for his real corner and you would actually he come to Pranas just as she cuts it like a foot and nothing comes of that again. But she steps out in time. She's okay. Adam Scott explains out of fucking no idea what this guy's characters called. Explains it's opened up a lake under a lake, and Paula this again not involved in this film at all. The lot of yeah, yeah, Igio, whatever she's called from starship troopers previous episode, of course, dives with her partner Sam. You should see this. It's unbelievable. And I was like, I'm looking at the d version of the day. It's unbelievable, all right, here as Tis need that's farm whatsoever. Pandora, it's not. Jesus. Can you believe there's another one of those? There's another two or three of those fucking films coming out, probably not in D. No, yeah, that's that's dead near that medium. Monus done. Yeah, yeah, well, not if lot of camera has anything to do with it. Let's be honest. It's one of our one of our greatest filmmakers. Anyway, they get into this cave and by doing them up with thirty five minutes into the film. Here we've only had two deaths. Yeah, but you already at this point. Yeah, we're doing not so bad. In the cave he disturbs this nest of x. What are they doing in this cave? And they saving a tie soccer team. Tie Boys soccer team. Did you see? We were swimming into the eggs. It's like, who gives a shit? It's so maybe you are a pedofile fucking electric car whanka. Anyway. Yeah, disturbs all these eggs and we see this alien like embryo in the egg with a little jump scare. Yeah, pretty sure that looks shot in d but it lights a flare and then get set up by by hundreds of them. So almost like that bit where the last he lights the flare in the film about the monsters underground where they're pothole is. Oh Man, there's the sit like that, Claire, and they're all there around through all of that to watch that girl over. I kind of get enough of that. Just just put from one tall phone Gim to another. Thener wod the thoughts for lunking with be RISKII. Well, you're not going to catch me down. In fact, if you do, I'll be the the one eating peace. Are you been like Kell? And everybody needs to umbrager. So he gets absolutely destroyed trying to escape. Paula gets mauled, including losing an eye. Adam Scott Saves her, or at least a course, and the piranha that's attached to her meet me. While Derek's pressure in Kelly doing body shots off crystal. Right then Jake's going to do a body shot off Kelly. So Kelly's pissed up, right, yeah, but he licks the Tequila out of there. I mean that's so like. Let's the stars, and then blind belly button for the tice, and then works his way up to get the line. Now all I could think was as a as a big fat man, there'd be a lot of you could keep a lot T QUILA in my belly, but you can, along with all the fluff and the one. I'm the one. I'm smile the worm out the bottom of the bottle. Fucker. And just as he's about to take the line out of her mouth, she she runs over to the end of the boat to throw up in D and we see the hell. Yeah, she does, cities and Kane. It ain't the sheriff of Adam Scott head to see Mr Goodman and with these aquatic store. Who was Mr Goodman? John don't Brown? It was done rose great Scott. Sureff, it's okay. Barty also on it, but your kid sheriff. They're on a sound bank. The fucking idiots. They don't know how to tie a fucking clown. The one, not the he's wife, who's got like one line of the whole thing, was like, Oh yeah, baby, alligators in New Jersey, all in the stewards in new chest enjoys the what? That's not a thing. Don't follow a minute. They've done that. Brilliant, brilliant alligator. Yeah, and them. Watch that. Hit My cloud. Nine hundred and eighty Robert Forster film. God, I loved Robert Foster, m most of them. I love that, though. I watched that shut myself. One thousand nine hundred and eighty two, a two foot alligator was found swimming in the Westchester County Reservoir that's part of the New York cities water supply. It is illegal, John, to own or buy or sell a gator in New York state. WALKROC so duff, ha ha dif're thinking about it, I just going to see the day. Even getting myself a couple this fine for selling this gator in New York is going to financially ruin. Remember, God, remember the heady days of lockdown, when we met. What is that old it and know they're get readied, but there was the idea, isn't it? Gatory, you owe, you are not allowed. In the voice, he explains that Pyra centrist Nai Karati used to which is that after shave your UNs, this is. Finally, every year used to swim the Colorado River, and this is and that the that they survived by cannibalism while there was nothing else down there. Now a little bit here that I wasn't so sure about. PIKARATE's as the original Perana. It's definitely a real type of Perana, but not the ancient one. So they've just come up with a name, but the fobs off and just done it again. John. Why must films lighten us? Why? So, at that's point in the time, I think it's stayed for the quas big when, oh so, least they learn to the whole point of this quiz. So my put my quizes as so the QUAIS is called pretend. Yeah, as in yes, or PRETTA print her run NAH. Okay, get it right. So, yeah, yes, yeah, problem. Yeah, for Runna. Yes. So, so I'll be looking at a hundreds of stuff. So you're right, a bit of cannibalism, thing about branders in each other, but this is that's his. I'm going to give you a couple of things that have come to left field that I found. It brands and you need to tell me if it's true or folks. Okay, got you got a run yeah, it's true. For Nah, there's no good right. So first one right off the bat, here and Aaron's. HEARN's like the frozen food shop here, and I'm gonna say, yeah, like the birds, I'm gonna say Arn's aren't native to South America. So I'm going to say Kuran Nah, right, which is it's true. That's when you've got, all right, lovely crocodiles, rember, the Amazon. Yeah, Puran Nah, because they're their skins too hard. Yeah. Or okay, rate. So what arms one, that sea words, Peran Ya, ten asn't. That's all. They don't fucking goats. Peranna. That's true. No, no, it's that. You're right, that's right. Seeds, seeds, Perran Yah, yeah, and that's all we got. So that Queen Street switch. Because, YEP, so crocodiles, cocadails and herons are there, breathers, all our herons. There's a sense here in speed for the face. While we're on it, couple of little things about perannas. Let's do a fact dump. They are omnivorous. They will eat plants if there is no other food about, as you've just told us, but not plant he's no. They are indigenous to South America. They have one of the strongest bites of all the Bony Fish, bony relatives of the body size, which is usually between five and fourteen inches. If you're in Peru, you can eat them grilled. Give that a gun. Yeah, and there is a six month to four year term in the jail if you try and import them into the Philippines. Wow, he's just a bit of a fact dump there for you. But let's get all the Parana shape. But the we are largest planet of our court was sexteen sexually, six pounds and fifteen ches, as it sounds, of aut verbs. Is that as a lot of barbs? Yeah, Oh, yeah, be it. And my billy gya money. Hell yeah, we watched USTIN powers three. It does ipposed to. I supposed to the other night. It kind of holds up the really bad stuff in it, but still so fun on in this still fun. Yeah, we watched the Pentavera and we worked our way back through that. Even watched the power or started that. I watched the UST episode and enjoying that. The colonel you'll eat my chicken. Yeah, it's a bit disappointing. There some disappointing bits in it, but yeah, yeah, it's funny. Give give that man all the money to make all the films. I don't care he's got ideas. I gonna give him a fucking contract to make films. I missed him so much. Really have the love. Good. It really killed it for him. Then I've never watched it. Doing Future episode because I just rew end up ridette resentment. Horrible. Back on the lake there's this parasailing woman. She she going for in. She older. Yeah, she's a she's a gin, know, makings a big girl and she yeah, right, yeah, so I just looking on imddy on the work day. Yeah, listeners, don't look up the titles of her films on Imdi on your work computer, but the sleepomstars in this the is they're really I wouldn't know, John. But well, if it's so fiet, so there is, so cirstye tells. So this custal, which is a Rainley Steel, does that one you're talking about, which is Jenna makles. But there's some records a Chelider Ashland Brook. Okay, but she must not watched your badles. Almost you know, but she apparently she's in its. Well, three Pondstar. Okay, right, okay, that's triple your triple the fun. But everyone, but she'd really she really gone for it, David. Yeah, yeah, Hi'm the she's like higher, higher, because I'm going high enough, and the sucking Frat boys then go a bit fast and take a higher and sit. All the fucking legs have gone. Now I've got to say it's really inconsistent as to what these piranhas can eat. Yeah, so sometimes they can eat bone, sometimes they can yeah, yeah, yeah, so in her instance they wait, they went. They went through the bone. A little bit later on with a character. They just leave that, which looks fucking great. By the way. Jake spots his sister and brother on the island. He's looking at them through these massive. He's pops, which is kind of like how you manage that or never look as were, weird, and the medal destines and that. Yeah, and if you remember that the little island was literally like a tiny amount of like a really short stretch of water from their house. Yes, they were looking at it from their house, and then this guy was million miles away from the house. Is Pope. Someone got five for that blunder. He justs, he justs. So we go back to the dock and there's this wet t shirt competition hosted by renew old piece of Shittyl Rock. He goes from UBIN's been yere as it has been het to those case come up and cherries try to close the lake. No one's listening till deputy fire some shots in the air and then you don't give a funny carry on the water. Yeah, at Sand Island they get the kids and as the leaving the get caught in these weeds. Derek Blames Jake and starts good in the engine. Back at the dock, these these kids on inflatables all getting nibbled on, including this chick on an inner tube. Yeah, swet. Yeah, we're like jam out of a donut that act as a contolitionist. I found out what she's a circus contortion. All right, they all get on this floating stage except for one. Last year gets Perrana Nadoed to death, which is there's too many people on the stage to the stage starts falling apart, and this it probably one of my favorite bits. This cable whips these two women. Yeah, that was that, and it looked really good until it didn't, and you see the cartoon torso fall apart and then it just goes all gray and Manky, as if like the shittiest cartoon in the world. Look Europe in the sick. There's a lot of good death ideas and there's a rest as absolutely Adam Scott to the rescue at this point. He shooting PIRANA with a shotgun. The sheriff uses to Citi is as one specific flesh cover been singled out. Wrong place, wrong time. Eli Roth Gets Kirsty mccold between these two se yeah, you just com bag you all. This guy jumps in the speed but murders about thirty people driving it. Those love interest when he's at preck anymy when it's chef. I was at the loving tess this last he gets her hair stuck in the propeller and he just eat guns it and it ends up ripping her hair and a scalp in the face, on which she looks like one of the the aliens out of they live. That all males attacks. That's good and it made me of that. Poor last got scart rapped from that blood the road coster some lasting did Shit y the barn. I pushed up. Go your few. Yeah, it's a good, good death. So they're back on the boat, the Barracuda. The boat, by the way, the Barracuda. These barracuda boats are an actual model of kind of speed boat that you can get the Nice one book. It's made by Benetto and it's the Barracuda nine and there's one for selling Esbourn at the minute, John, if you want it, a hundred and twenty nine thousand, nine hundred and fifty pounds and it's called the fair ride. Oh whys Kelly. But as Kelly brick ond it crystal and Derek Fall in crystal gets eaten from outside a face by this piranha which didn't look any good because it was meant to be three day Danny and Jake Save Derek kind of, but he's had his legs and he's Dickie. Yeah, he's clearly lying in them. Cut Out bit of the budget. Yeah, just these little really thunb really quickly. Then he's uncle Oh in and I'm calm. Yeah, the roo kind of skeleton legs in the Piranhas are argument over. His ball be the one spatter. The average weight John Awful Penis will be is a hundred and sixty grams. Yours, of course, ways of metric ton as well. It's say, it's it's new other wheat. So that the motion in the oceans. That so back at this doc thing. There's loads of really good visual effects here, missing limbs, bits of Shit. There's this woman being carried out by two people and then it brush apart. Yes, it doesn't, doesn't really work, but it does work, and most of pros sticks were by the Great Greg Nicoto. You know him from walking dead, nightmare, ELM streets eve there too, and that particular scene where they're all dying. Ninety four hours of special effects prep. Wow, you love to see it, don't you love to see it? Now? That's wrong. There was some. There were some good ones. It is reminiscent in it. We're doing the the donated the in the cine amount of people that actually had listens the stuff. I would love to do someone that just to see her it. So I done. But name is nick. Your plus irs is creasy in madness and it oh absolutely thing. Range gets this boat engine, murders hundreds of them before he gets eaten himself. Just takes it off the boat and he's like zombies ate. My Neighbor's kind of while AGN'T SHERIFF JULIE GETS A call from a son, Jake, explaining the boat is sinking. They'd hit some rocks. She heads to the boat with Adam Scott to get them and at the BARACUTA she throws him this rope and climbs across Kelly stuck below deck and the waters rising. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but which I mean? If they just called Elon Musk, you would have got that little submarine in together that he keeps going to a problem. I remembent a little stuff for gratual using all the money from my father's blood diamond having the right battery in a paper clip. Now she says I'm going to take the kids across and come back for you? Is this like the problem with the chicken and the Fox? I know where you can't. You can't leave the chicken and the Fox at the same time. Yeah, I don't think grain. You know, don't really and in fact, dad for I was going to see four people under up. It's in pain. But KARRY Brittny mass of war pressure talking at least sex people in that role. She was smuggling right, said Fred, deeply dipping after had a few big breakfast of him joy. So as she's climbing across, she the Paranas all of a sudden conjump, which it happen Alt to do yet until now, and her hair gets Perrana and then she gets Perana and then she's took rain the eyes. She got one the eyebowl, which a thod get one of the eyeball, yeah, one, it's get across. So that's this. The Sheriff, Jake takes the corpse of Derek, or almost corpse, as he takes the started do him in the water and is a short t shirt and then dies. Th last words of wet Tshirt hoison into the water as a distraction before swimming to get Kelly with the rope around him radio's Adam Scott to basically pull on the rope using the boat on his signal. Ten seconds sets at this rudimentary bomb with a flare, the Benitiser to the radio, which I'm wondering way that I don't know why it tied. Is the radio at all? And then the gas cylinders. He lets them go. So they're kicking out all the gas and as they pulled them away, the gas stat and it's killing the piranha in this massive kind of explosion, under water explosion, shot waves. Yeah, Kelly and Jake get back on at the boat at all. The kind of Perana corpses float to the top. I've written here was to put it in, just as I couldn't fit Elizabeth shoe wipe out world champion, which is quite across the room. Oh Yeah, dudd you do do do cal radio's the sheriff to report that the one that they're left with him is a baby. It's not got any reproductive, grown up, reproductive ordomns, Adam Scott says.

The Synaptic Map of the Cartesian Trap

Hello Interactors,Beauty may be in eye of the beholder, but it’s also in the brain. We all seem to be drawn to balance, order, and predictable patterns which rulers, T-squares, protractors, and compasses have readily provided. It’s the stuff maps are made of. They’ve brought progress and good fortune to many over the centuries, but have they also lead to our decay?As interactors, you’re special individuals self-selected to be a part of an evolutionary journey. You’re also members of an attentive community so I welcome your participation.Please leave your comments below or email me directly.Now let’s go…HIGH FASHIONI can’t deny it. I’m a sucker for grids. I’m drawn to music, art, and designs that are balanced, orderly, and intelligible. Give me a ruler, a protractor, a compass, and a pencil and I’d happily make art and designs all day. Growing up I’d handcraft lettering on cards using my Dad’s plastic flowchart stencils. What can I say, I’m a product of modernity. A neat and tidy aesthete.But that attraction was called into question last week as I was watching The Hobbit. The movie’s protagonist, Bilbo Baggins, lives in an organically shaped earthen home carved into the side of hill. There’s not a Cartesian grid or plane anywhere to be found. Every wall is curved as if bored into the hillside by a giant gopher. I was so smitten that I murmured out loud to my family, “I could definitely live in that house.” Has my planar proclivity passed me by, or has the curving complexity of nature caught my eye?Neuroscience has uncovered evidence that we humans, perhaps other animals as well, tend ‘like’ and/or ‘want’ aesthetic order and balance. Evidence of elements in oddities ordered by humans abounds in centuries of found paintings, carvings, jewelry, and even cities.But firm empirical conclusions of this gray-matter matter remain elusive. Although, neuroscientists do agree on one thing: there is no single ‘beauty center’ in our brain. When hooked up to brain imaging machines, scientists observe “activity in the frontal pole, left dorsolateral cortex, anterior cingulate cortex, temporal pole, motor cortex, parietal cortex, ventral stratum, and occipital cortex, among others.” And there is ongoing work trying to tease out the order in which these activities unfold betwixt the vast network of synapsis in a brain containing as many neurons as stars in the Milky Way. A task seemingly more complex than the identification of the regions themselves.If aesthetically pleasing ordered intelligibility is indeed a universal mammalian trait, getting to that cognitive state is complex – understanding it even more so. Some scientists believe another reason concrete evidence is elusive is because the visual stimuli used across studies varies considerably.Designing and administering cognitive research requires rationalizing inputs across studies to achieve more predictable outcomes. This ‘streamlining’ of the scientific method is not only applied to studies, but to the design and manufacturing of products, and the planning, mapping, and administration of our neighborhoods, cities, regions, and states.Political scientist and legal anthropologist James C. Scott once alluded to the similarities between designing observational studies and the design of our modern urban environments writing,“The builders of the modern nation-state do not merely describe, observe, and map; they strive to shape a people and landscape that will fit their techniques of observation.”Scott’s 1998 book, Seeing Like a State, is critical of what he calls High Modernism which is an over-reliance on Cartesian principles, the scientific method, and unfaltering faith in technology. While he admits these advances improved – and continue to improve – the human condition, he believes blind adherence to these aesthetic, bureaucratic, and technocratic principles may have also put us on a path toward what we now see as potential human extinction.The list of ‘High Modernists’ in art, science, design, and politics is long, but Scott created a “Hall of Fame” of geo-political modernists like former U.S. Secretary of Defense and Cold War strategist Robert McNamara known for his ‘scientific management’ style, New York commissioner-cum-urban planner and power broker Robert Moses, founding head of Soviet Russia and dictator of the proletariat Vladimir Lenin, the Shah-of-Iran who sought to modernize and nationalize his entire country and industry, and the influential architect and urban designer Le Corbusier who advocated for standardized inhumane design and erasure of historical and cultural tradition – especially in the aftermath of war.Scott’s full list includes people of not any one political persuasion. He reveals how both conservatives and progressives are capable of “sweeping, rational engineering of all aspects of social life in order to improve the human condition.” He notes they all use “unrestrained use of the power of the modern state as an instrument for achieving these designs.” And he observes the public really has no recourse, nor often the desire, to resist it. He says,“The ideology of high modernism provides, as it were, the desire; the modern state provides the means of acting on that desire; and the incapacitated civil society provides the leveled terrain on which to build (dis)utopias.”That ‘desire’, as it were, I suspect is partially driven by the aesthetics found in the uniformity, balance, and order of ‘High Modernists.’ Parsimony, the reductive removal of redundancy, is what persuades people to purchase overpriced but simplified products like Prada. It’s what spurred Tom Wolfe to observe in his book From Bauhaus to Our House that elite modernists want to fill cities with “row after row of Mies van der Rohe.” The German architect was known for his stark rectilinear buildings made of what he called ‘skin and bone.’In addition to fashion and architecture, modernist desire was (and still is) embodied in many elements of society and popular culture from literature, to industry, to transportation. Much of this progress occurred during the Industrial Age of the 19th century. I can imagine the exhilaration of high speed movement through space over time on a bike, car, or train surely began with fright but ended in delight. Even desirable.As Scott points out, the state provided the means for this desire to manifest. He invites us to,“imagine that what these designers of society had in mind was roughly what designers of locomotives had in mind with ‘streamlining.’ Rather than arresting social change, they hoped to design a shape to social life that would minimize the friction of progress. The difficulty with this resolution is that state social engineering was inherently authoritarian.”FROM CRAWLING TO SPRAWLINGIt was locomotives that brought many colonizers to my home town, Norwalk, Iowa in the late 1800s. But the first was Samuel Snyder in 1852. He built a log cabin near an area called Pyra. He was likely on the land of the Báxoje (Bah-Kho-Je) people, or as neighboring tribes called them ayuhwa “sleepy ones” otherwise known as Iowa. Pyra was a few miles south of the state capital, Des Moines (Hartford of the West) that was incorporated just one year earlier.By 1856, four years later, Pyra had a post office and a new resident, George Swan, who made his presence known by “putting up a pretentious edifice, to be used as a hotel.” Swan was a politician and newspaper publisher who moved from Norwalk, Ohio but was born in Norwalk, Connecticut. He became postmaster in part to change the name of the town from Pyra to Norwalk.The renaming of Indigenous place names to Western names is another common act of the ‘High Modernist’, as is laying out a town in your vision. Which was the next thing Swan did.The county and the township had already been gridded and platted as part of Thomas Jefferson’s squaring of a nation, but it was Swan’s ‘authoritarian’ vision that allowed for the ‘social engineering’ of the town I grew up in. He was aided by a handful of settlers including Jesse Huff and Mary Huff. One of my best friends came from the Huff family, his uncle was our baseball coach, and his grandpa was the long time Norwalk city manager. That’s three generations of city administration aided by the modern state’s ‘means of acting on the desire’ to ‘level terrain’ so they may build their ‘utopia.’It took until the 1950s and 60s before Norwalk become a true suburb of Des Moines – an expansion beyond what Swan could ever have imagined. Its population sputtered growing modestly between 1900 and 1950 from 287 to 435, but then grew 205% between 1950 and 1960 to 1,328. The town didn’t expand beyond Swan’s initial footprint until 1969 and it’s been sprawling ever since. It’s now hard to discern the border between Des Moines and Norwalk. When I lived there in the 60s, 70s, and 80s corn and soybean fields provided a visible gap.Despite these well-intentioned ‘High Modernists’ sprawling attempts around the world at carefully planned and engineered social utopias, scholarly literature reveals what Scott suspects. Research across economists, geographers, and planners suggests this general consensus:“urban sprawl as a multidimensional phenomenon [is] typified by an unplanned and uneven pattern of urban development that is driven by a multitude of processes and which leads to the inefficient utilisation of land resources. Urban sprawl is observed globally, though its characteristics and impacts vary.”The words ‘uneven’ and ‘multitude of processes’ and ‘inefficient utilization’ resulting in ‘varying impacts’ don’t fit the exacting premise promised by enlightened ‘High Modernists.’ This study I’m quoting was done in reaction to the fact that despite the populations of European cities declining, their footprints have continued to sprawl since the 1970s. They say, “There is no sign that this trend is slowing down and, as a result, the demand for land around cities is becoming a critical issue in many areas.” This is the essence of urban sprawl.The ordinal origins of sprawl are synonymous with their historic modernist and economic origins – the Central Business District. The shape and pattern of the impending sprawl in the United States and Europe is like a spider spinning it’s web from the center out. Causes are often oversimplified by a focus on the economic trade-off between housing prices and commuting costs. Importantly, this economic function is a result of the modern state’s role in ‘providing the means of acting on the desire’ of select individuals to live ‘elsewhere.’There are other factors that determine the shape, resolution, and scale of sprawl. A 2006 study determined that“sprawl in the USA between 1976 and 1992 was positively related to groundwater availability, temperate climate, rugged terrain, decentralised employment, early public transport infrastructure, uncertainty about metropolitan growth and the low impact of public service financing on local taxpayers.”Other studies include another big factor in the United States, ethnicity: that same 2006 study found “that increases in the percentage of ethnic minority populations within cities and rising city centre crime rates both led to a growth in urban sprawl.” Curiously, a similar study focused on Europe “confirmed the positive impact of higher crime rates on sprawl, but observed the opposite effect for the impact of ethnic minority populations.”I HAVE A CITY IN MINDSprawl isn’t just happening in the U.S. and Europe, but in developing countries as well. Since opening up in 1979, China has seen unprecedented sprawl in conjunction with their rise in socioeconomic development. Urbanization increased “17.92% in 1978 to 59.60% in 2018, and scholars predict it will reach 70% in 2035 and 75% in 2050.”As is the case in the United States and Europe, “the expansion of urban land mainly sacrifices rural land, especially cropland, which produces negative effects such as ecological degradation, water and land loss, and soil pollution.” This study concludes that “urban land expansion has garnered much attention, and studies have focused on land transition monitoring, effects analysis, and mechanism identification. However, discussions on suburban development and its subsequent effects remain insufficient.”These researchers draw attention to three commonly used dimensions in studying sprawl:Administrative - Administrative boundaries such as towns close to a city.Spatial - Location, Density, and Spatial Activity adjacent and within commuting distance of the city.Social - Attributes such as classes, races, and ethnicities of residents that distinguish cities and suburbs.A primary thrust of ‘High Modernism’ are found in those first two dimensions. ‘High Modernists’ seek to ease the ‘administrative’ costs through the reduction of ‘spatial’ complexity. There’s actually nothing modern about that, really. Unless you consider the 5th century BC Greek polymath Hippodamus ‘modern’. He is considered the ‘father of European urban planning’ beginning with his grid plan of the Greek port city Piraeus that remains today. But being a mathematician, he no doubt was seeking spatial parsimony for city administrators.The economist Herbert Simon (who studied decision making in large organizations) describes the ‘administrative man’ this way:“Administrative man recognizes that the world he perceives is a drastically simplified model of the buzzing, blooming confusion that constitutes the real world. He is content with the gross simplification because he believes that the real world is mostly empty – that most of the facts of the real world have no great relevance to any particular situation he is facing and that most significant chains of causes and consequences are short and simple.”Simon elucidates how the first two dimensions of the effects of ‘High Modernist’ urban sprawl, – ‘administrative boundaries’ and remote measures of ‘spatiality’ – are ‘gross simplifications’ of the ‘buzzing, blooming confusion that constitutes the real world.’ This ‘real world’ may be better evidenced in the third dimension of measures, ‘social attributes such as classes, races, and ethnicities of residents that distinguish cities and suburbs.’But even these attributes can remain removed the real world if viewed from a map or table of data. We need only look at Redlining as an example of how ‘social’ dimensions can be used to negate, subjugate, frustrate, dictate, alienate, arbitrate, automate, and attempt to eliminate certain classes, races, and ethnicities through actuated, calculated tax rates, interest rates, and loan rates through a slate of mandates from magistrates of the city-state, state-state, and nation-state.The French Philosopher, Michel de Certeau, observes in his book The Practice of Everyday Life how Walking in the City, despite its gridded plans, results in people defiantly deploying practical and tactical shortcuts despite attempts by centuries of ‘High Modernism’ to control them. He writes that ‘the City’,“provides a way of conceiving and constructing space on the basis of a finite number of stable, isolatable, and interconnected properties.”But he also wonders if this concept of the city is decaying. He reflects on the strength, resiliency, and tenacity of humanity despite the potential erosion of ‘High Modernism’ and asks,“Does that mean that the illness afflicting both the rationality that founded it and its professionals afflicts the urban populations as well?”He invites us to not turn our “bewilderment” of ‘High Modernism’ in ‘catastrophes’” of its undoing but instead,“analyse the microbe-like, singular and plural practices which an urbanistic system was supposed to administer or suppress, but which have outlived its decay…”As much as I like the ordered, gridded aesthetic, I’ve come to better appreciate the beauty in our ‘microbe-like’ natural world. Modernity may be defined by the analytical geometry of Descartes, but I can’t help but wonder if the work of another 17th century mathematician may come to shape our future.His name is Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz, the German mathematician who invented, perhaps along with Isaac Newton, calculus. Leibniz is also credited with discovering self-similarity which forms the bases for Benoit Mandelbrot’s fractals. Mandelbrot’s geometry, his ‘Art of Roughness’, describes the mathematics behind branching systems found in fern leaves, cauliflower, trees, and coastlines as well as our circulatory system, nervous system, bronchial system, and maybe even Bilbo Baggin’s hobbit home in the hill. If it wasn’t for the fractal-like nature of the gray-matter of our brain, it wouldn’t be able fold upon itself to fit within the small cavity of our cranium. Even its network of neurons, and the synaptic patterns they form as we fawn over beauty, follow the mathematical laws of Leibniz and Mandelbrot. Our world may not need be ordained by Cartesian order because it’s already organized. We just need to understand it and follow its lead.As neuroscientists continue to map the brain in search of what draws us to order and balance in objects as well as cities, perhaps they could consider the conjecture of British physicist and distinguished professor of the Santa Fe Institute, Geoffrey West when he writes:“…because the geometry of white and gray matter in our brains, which forms the neural circuitry responsible for all of our cognitive functions, is itself a fractal-like hierarchical network, this suggests that the hidden fractal nature of social networks is actually a representation of the physical structure of our brains. This speculation can be taken one step further by invoking the idea that the structure and organization of cities are determined by the structure and dynamics of social networks……In a nutshell: cities are a representation of how people interact with one another and this is encoded in our neural networks and therefore in the structure and organization of our brains.” This is a public episode.
