Social media / networks are another good example.
Really i think you can argue money is a special case of the social network - one in which past transactions are agreed upon universally.
Eg nostr is a general social network, consisting of identities that can sign messages, and a neutral network that relays them. If that had been invented first it would seem like a natural idea to add PoW to make a universally agreed history of transactions which would serve as money - bitcoin.
Going back to the general case, and trying to loosely follow your vector, the critical development is going to be the algorithms which create our networks. Maybe we don't need to care so much about the individuals we are connected to as much as their general characteristics, the values they embody.
In that world you interact with a feed of recommendations from the algorithm, rather than from your follows.
Obviously giving away that kind of control in a centralized system is the road to evil - which is where youtube, tiktok etc are taking us.
Eg: note1efngaru078022jlx9eag6qpqau4cmzfpfcxu8zwjxcv4rw6yuhdq26klcg
But in a free social network we will build our own algorithms, or consciously select those built by others. Possibly paying for what we want - and getting for the community we want based on our values. Of course you can add money back on that and what you get is a sort of self-selected virtual sovereign nation. I think that's where we are going.
It's very exciting.
what i loved about se7en (without giving any big spoilers if you rewatch):
- the mood / atmosphere. unrelenting rain in the city.. ..suddenly and completely relieved when they drive out to the desert for the final scene
- the sheer imagination of those crimes, my god
- kevin spacey was an incredible bad guy and you could totally believe he was capable
oh as you mention brad pitt, another film i forgot is 'the big short'. Not just because it's the best explanation of the total simplicity of the fraud in the banking system, but its brilliantly directed and acted. Should be a heavy film and i guess it is if you think about it, but it's really a great watch.
#4 nil by mouth is kind of harrowing (though there's a lot more to it). i had a phase of loving films like that, and my top 3 then were:
- nil by mouth (about a wife abuser basically)
- breaking the waves (i can't even bring myself to say what it was about)
- se7en (i am guessing you might know this..)
i also love films where you kind of find out right at the end what it's been all about, but you didn't realize before. for example Chinatown (at least that's my interpretation of it..)
I don't know Major Payne, perhaps I should try it to give your list a chance of redemption 😁
Serious question what if I told you I am unvaccinated?
nice, i'd been thinking of revisiting this - will let you know if i do

oh i forgot the other kubricks
- dr strangelove
- the shining
We overlap by 1
off the top of my head:
1) 2001 space oddysey
2) godfather
3) vertigo
4) nil by mouth (gary oldman)
5) bourne trilogy
6) wizard of oz
7) marnie (hitchcock)
8) alien (probably because i watched it last night)
9) deerhunter
10) apocalypse now
no accident that there's basically nothing in the last 40 years - a strong indication of how everything's turned to shit!
70s is what it's all about for me, though i have an open mind to anything before that
i absolutely couldn't stand shawshank redemption, or understand why anyone rated it. he seemed just totally up is own ass!
I don't know if you are aware but nostr has a reddit-type feature, 'communities'. it hasn't really taken off yet but there is one for movies:
(hopefully this works as a link)

I could be a bot for all you know - you couldn't care less about me.
Seems to me you want to tell yourself that stuff.
Lie to me all you want but its the lies you tell yourself that are gonna get you..
Just saying 😃
As someone who gets muted a lot, can I just say that when ppl post memes like that to let me know they are doing it it seems super lame.
Like they don't like what I am saying, and can't think of an effective retort but still need to have the last word in a way that tries to make me feel outside their group.
If I'm such a dick and talk such crap, why not just mute me and move on?
You might as well say, ok not every single black person is a criminal but its enough of them to generalize and make the point valid - right?
negatively generalizing about a group of people based on a characteristic they can't change..
..what could possibly go wrong?? 😂
lol all of them?
seriously, you should look out for who is making you hate others. if you hate you can be controlled. just saying
