Mysteries from Beyond Earth
Mysteries from Beyond Earth is a 1975 documentary and a sterling example of the kind of dated, hokey material endemic to UFO flicks of the era. It’s narrated by a bearded guy (credited as Lawrence Dobkin), whom I at first mistook for a man wearing a keffiyeh as a cravat. Actually, I realized he was just imitating Don Knotts in Three’s Company, NOT demonstrating his undying support for a Free Palestine.

The Ethics of Body Modifications in a Post-Human World. AI-Generated.
We’re no longer just flesh and bone—we’re becoming something more. In a world where technology blurs the line between human and machine, body modifications aren’t just tattoos or piercings anymore. They’re neural implants that sharpen memory, robotic limbs that outmuscle nature, and gene edits that promise eternal youth. Transhumanism—the belief that we can and should transcend our biological limits—isn’t science fiction; it’s here, reshaping bodies and minds. But as we sprint toward a post-human future, a question looms: where’s the ethical line when altering what it means to be human?

Expansiveness and Profundity for Miles

Broadness and profundity for a significant distance — this expression exemplifies a far reaching scope of figuring out, mastery, and discernment that extends unfathomably every which way, investigating every possibility.

Ghost Time Theory - We Live in the Past
In the year 1752, specifically on the first of September, a young man, known in his village for his cleverness and cunning, and his love for betting, heard in the morning of this day from his workplace in the neighboring village some news from a traveling merchant. He was certain that no one in his village knew about it. This news was strange, surprising, even exceptional, and it would not happen again. A person with his cunning and shrewdness would not let it pass without taking advantage of it. He thought for a moment, then the idea struck him. He quickly ran through the village’s alleys, calling on the villagers to hurry and gather in the village square because he had brought them a bet. The challenge was impossible to win, but he wouldn’t lose it.

Vampire Hunter D
Vampire Hunter D is a 1985 anime based on a novel that I initially assumed was a manga but turns out to be just a novel. (The manga came later.) It combines elements of Westerns, sci-fi, and gothic horror to tell a post-apocalyptic tale of a future Earth after a nuclear holocaust. In this world, mutants roam freely, and humanity struggles to rebuild after being ruled by "Nobles"—who are, naturally, vampires. I think I’ve got this right.
