Johnny Depp does it again! This is the most eccentric of the libertine-type movies also exemplified by Dangerous Liaisons (Stephen Frears, 1988).
Funnily, John Malkovich who plays the king here played the libertine in the 1988 variation.
The sexual obsession is emphasized to fantastic proportions. The play that Rochester delivers is burlesquely pornographic - and correspondingly self-destructive. Earlier, we see Rochester dream that he traverses a foggy wood

We are pillaging the universe's intellectual property without a hint of remorse. Did the universe come with a non-reverse-engineering clause? Did we ever bother to ask? Who can we ask?
The hippies tell you it's public domain, while the fundies enforce God's alleged claim. The greedies take it for free and sell it for a profit.

Shape of Life at CBS
The sponge turns out to be an animal - and the oldest / most basal one at that too! That means we (humans as part of the animal kingdom) all descend from the sponge! Congratulations everyone.
Although the doco doesn't say so, I will advance the conjecture that the sponge is in fact the **link** between plant life and animal life. Witness the Wikipedia introductory paragraph about animal characteristics where the sponge is singled out.
The sponge is a living filter.

Fingernails are a small but remarkable part of the human features. Over the years, I've been noticing repeating patterns of fingernails, distributed seemingly randomly among individuals. There are maybe a half-dozen types of fingernail shapes, and individual hands exhibit instances of these types, with feature details more or less emphasized. Individual hands can sometimes even exhibit combinations of different types.
Similarly to morphological features, we can discuss psychological features usi

The netizen's civic duty is to contribute to the information stored on the Internet. Preferably with accurate, relevant, and generally high quality content.
In order to contribute information constructively, one needs to find the relevant online systems that will store this new information. That is, online systems that accept submissions from arbitrary users as part of its main data - the equivalent of "crowdsourced" systems.

"Moon" at IMDB
When faced with a situation of which we can predict the outcomes with any degree of certainty, we make a conscious choice to act in a certain way to attain the desired outcome. That is the fundamental act of will. Some outcomes do not require a lot of will power (i.e., energy furnished per unit time) while others do.
Rhythm in music represents our interpretation of the various natural cycles.

Humanity is obsessed with time. As with any obsession, it must be distracting us from something else.

One of the sad facts of the music industry that, effectively, the record label has become the enemy of the artist.
The music industry has been functioning because the audience are willing to pay artists to play music for them. We want to hear good music. So the fundamental ingredient of the music industry is the artist, not the record label. The label is a management institution that exists to support the artist in reaching his audience, to free up the artist's time and mind to focus on the trul

One sobering thought concerning our physical world is that despite its grandiose infinity, it is palpably not perfect. Nature, the active agent of the physical world, produces specimens that are not, with all their wonderful design, flawless. Rather, individual cells at all scales deteriorate and die. Humans are all born with defects and accumulate more during their lifetime. Clearly, one can imagine a state of affairs that is more agreeable although we are unable to come up with a consistent lo
