  • I-m old enough to have seen it in a theater. This movie is one of the seminal works of the cyberpunk genre. The movie is based on a short story by Philip K. Dick, one of the best, and truly provocative SF writers.

    SF is by definition a genre that doesn’t-t age well, unless the story is solid. Blade runner has aged surprisingly well. The movie probably didn’t-t awe you because so many things have been based on the movie, that you were already familiar with them before seeing the movie. You have been spoilered to exhaustion here.

    There is also the question of the cut. The movie has at least 3 editions. The Final Cut is the one to watch.

    Also, the “had potential” comment shows you didn’t-t get much of the movie. The movie has many levels, layers, that you seem to have missed.





  • I didn’t go into morality. I despise industrial husbandry. I’m more than fine with non-intensive farmers having and caring for cows and goats, and chickens, etc… It’s fairly symbiotic. I specified liquid, because a large majority of adult humans are not well prepared to process milk. Many are completely lactose intolerant, and some of western descent have some degree of lactose intolerance. Many just don’t realize it. Many cheeses are very low in lactose, generally the more cured, the less lactose. Also, milk has certain hormones which can impact human health. Humans have evolved to be able to survive by being omnivorous, but being able to eat certain things doesn’t mean they are good, it just means that we won’t starve, getting a chance to later eat better things. It’s not the same to survive than to thrive.
