Fear as Original Sin Certainly! The concept of "fear as the original sin" is an intriguing perspective that diverges from the more common understanding of the original sin based on the story in the book of Genesis. Let's explore this idea further. Original Sin: Traditional Interpretation The traditional view of original sin is rooted in the biblical account of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden. According to this interpretation:The Fall: Adam and Eve, the first human beings, were placed in ...

Cultural Sophistication and Self-Reference on American Television

Fully:Cultural Sophistication and Self-Reference on American Television: Seeds of Hope?by Ralph DumainGenerally when I look at American culture these days I see little but degeneracy. I am rarely heartened even by the obvious sophistication that our society has achieved in certain respects over the past two decades, because it is so heavily counterbalanced by increased fragmentation, intellectual laziness, dehumanization, and superficiality. The sophistication that we do have is not so much a...

Textiles and Stories

Textiles and Words (stories) Using wavelength.aiMe: There are other linguistic connections between the two concepts of weaving and stories. For example, many of the phrases and words we use regarding storytelling make metaphorical reference to textiles and textile manufacturing.

John Wick 4 Runtime Makes It The Longest John Wick Ever — And That's a Good Thing

The first John Wick was a perfectly plotted movie that came in at a tight 1 hour and 36 minutes, a rarity in today’s increasingly overlong blockbuster landscape. But as the world of Wick expanded, so did its runtimes: Chapter 2 clocked in at 2 hours, 2 minutes, and Chapter 3 was a hefty 2 hours, 11 minutes. Now the recently-released Chapter 4 comes in at the longest of them all: a whopping 2 hours and 49 minutes. Who would want to spend nearly three hours watching Keanu Reeves’ assassin ma...

Hue and cry, or the mystery of red gold

https://feeds.feedblitz.com/~/t/0/_/oupblog/~https://blog.oup.com/2022/10/hue-and-cry-or-the-mystery-of-red-gold/As a student, I read Homer in English and ran into the phrase wine-colored sea. At that time, I did not know that in Old English, waves were sometimes called brown and only wondered what kind of wine the Ancient Greeks drank. No one in my surroundings could enlighten me. Since that time, I have read many articles and books on the history of color perception and in 2014 even reviewe...
