A review of The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.

Furry is not only possible, it is already here.

Dream big.

The gryphons drove kitalamina to tears. She still is feeling it. I unfortunately don't know how to help her.

I was afraid of the movie being used as a tool of pure Christianity - but now I realize it's something much more interesting, I believe. Whether it truly reaches that more interesting premise is a study on how much complexity and diversity we are willing to allow.


Transhumanism - the use of symbology to recapture a personal interpretation of one's own place in the universe. There are universal truths brought to us by both science and religion - two different spheres of thought, not mutually incompatible. Reductionism of the universe to one particular worldview is self-defeating; there are multiple interpretations, even as there is the search - and the finding - of something resembling a universal truth, both of the universe itself and of the humans living within it.

The so-called War on Christmas is itself a fight against the idea that other spheres of existence are valid. If anything, that means that this concept ignores what the meaning of Christmas really is. We are seeing many such battles right now. We must accept both religion and science as pieces of the puzzle, but we shape our corner of the universe with our lives and our beliefs. As such, we should try to listen. (Something of course I'm not good at - neither with the diversity part, either, I know.)

So, not only Happy Holidays, but Merry Everything.

That is all.
