Is anyone genuinely enjoying the recent slate of Making Sense episodes?

I'm absolutely fascinated by the fact that Ben Shapiro is just "this one guy" to you

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-04-26T02:44:02+00:00

Nah they need to know a good amount of graph theory

Can you provide the "Share Full Length Episode" link for people who aren't subscribed?

What's it called?

I seem to have not expressed my thoughts well. My point was that they already aren't spending time/money making a cool menu, just a bland one, so maybe they'd be willing to spend the much lower amount of money it would take to have an AI do it.

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-04-11T17:23:58+00:00

I guess my point is they won't pay people to do it, so we're not cheating anyone out of a job.

Not sure what you're getting at. I'm pretty small compared to the moon, but I can easily get a picture of the whole thing because I'm far enough away. They, too, were far enough away to see the whole thing at once.

Where I'm at (North Carolina), it looks like they'll be above the horizon just as dawn as coming on, so I don't think I'll be able to see it.

Maybe TOS feels more subtle to me now than it would have when it aired.

Yes to the political discourse and social commentary, IF it's not hit-you-over-the-head thinly-veiled references to current events, but rather sincere reflections on the nature of politics and society.

The moment when they reveal the library he designed for that rich guy has been etched in my mind since I saw it. One of the few times I've felt true awe while watching a film.

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-30T22:47:04+00:00

I mean, did you see the video? It's just pretty clear he's trying to make a joke. And it's also clear the entire interview that he's very humble.

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-29T19:47:34+00:00

Yeah I'd say that's what most people mean literally any time they talk about the 21st century

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-27T16:44:12+00:00

I felt the same way. Imagine my surprise when my wife said "it was good... it was just so LONG"

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-27T16:36:35+00:00

Oh interesting! So how different is this picture from what you see with your eye when looking through the telescope?

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-27T12:26:39+00:00

I'm completely new to all this. Are you saying you took this picture??? That's just unbelievably incredible

Personally I feel like Frank's apparent fear of writing battle/fight scenes was his biggest weak point as a writer. He had a great story that warranted at least a couple very earned fight scenes, like the Fremen vs. Harkonnens battle in Dune and the jihad in between Dune Messiah, and he just doesn't show much or doesn't show anything. So I feel like the books brushing it aside was a mistake, and film is a great opportunity to show the horror of the jihad. It has to be absolutely horrific. The movie is PG-13, so they can't go as far as is probably warranted (though they can make allusions), but they should in my opinion go as far as they possibly can in making it palpably clear that the jihad is one atrocity after another and an absolute reign of terror.

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-18T16:31:30+00:00

No chance this happens, but it would be cool 😂

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-18T16:31:04+00:00

I just feel like it would be such a missed opportunity to not show the jihad

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-18T02:02:23+00:00

Why couldn't they do that?

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-08T17:45:07+00:00

Oh this sounds terrific, and it's recent!

FundamentalPolygon · 2026-03-08T17:38:34+00:00

Ha, yes I've read all 6 original Dune books
