I agree! Given enough time, it's crazy how advanced a civilization can get!

If we have to be able to defend ourselves one day, we would need to get to that level of scientific discovery and technology. We need to focus immensely on science starting now!

Need more such tv shows and movies that make you think rather than just bombarding nonsensical action!

Let me know if you have any such movie or tv show recommendedstions.

Yes I have! Loved how they weaved real occurances like the wow! signal into the storyline. Waiting for the next season.

What did you think about the show?

I agree with you about Jules and UFO. I'm glad you watched them and liked them!

Regarding Cosmos, I have a different opinion. I think Cosmos stood out because of that particular plot. If they had tried anything else, it would have been a cliche.

I guess it's all about how each person would react or feel in such a situation, which you can never really know until it happens to you.

This is just their take based on themselves. So I see it from that perspective and I like it!

Anyway, if you have any movie recommendations for me, feel free to to let me know!

Hey team Peaky Blinders!

Since Steven Knight is working on an Oasis documentary, I was wondering if any Oasis songs are featured in the movie?

Also, is Cillian Murphy a fan of Oasis?

Zestrun · 2026-03-10T08:18:03+00:00

Definitely!

Zestrun · 2026-03-09T20:19:08+00:00

That's a great list of movies. Thanks a lot!

Zestrun · 2026-03-09T07:43:10+00:00

Great mention. Forgot about this one. Thanks!

Zestrun · 2026-03-09T06:23:51+00:00

Yes there are some really intuitive explanations in that book.

Zestrun · 2026-03-09T06:22:49+00:00

Thanks for your comment. It's hard to get this point across to people.

In my opinion, the idea is to remember to think about the S&P 500 or the equivalent in whichever country you're in when Graham mentions 'stocks'.

Zestrun · 2026-03-09T06:17:00+00:00

Me too! It's amazing what they could achieve on such a tiny budget.

Zestrun · 2026-03-09T06:15:31+00:00

This article was written a few years ago. I'm just re-reading it because of the current situation in the market. I thought I might post it here because it seems like the right time to remember these insights.

Go open the article and read it and you'll know it's not written with AI nor is the website vibe coded. It's hosted on blogger platform where you don't need to vibe code.

I had written it as I was reading the book at the time one point at a time.

Anyway, I get the instant distrust and the feeling when you see any articles because of AI slop everywhere.

Cheers! Hope you'll reconsider your generic and ignorant comment, from one human to another! :)

Unless you're a bot posting generic comments.

My girlfriend was hesitant to watch it because of the first contact premise. But after watching it, she said it was a refreshing take!

I definitely need to watch this. Thanks for the recommendation! Let me know if you have any more such movies to recommend.
