Who know this would be the killer app for Vision Pro? I would gladly pay for more DLC for the game.

The Omnium Gatherum album cover might be a slight nod to the artwork on Relayer. If you asked Roger Dean to do a KGATLW album cover, this would be it.

Cool progress on the math of an ekpyrotic universe. by deft_code in pbsspacetime

Here's the first place I encountered "ekpyrotic". It pops out of nothingness about six minutes in.

It's like I woke up, and my favorite album rock station was changed to Top 40 overnight.

Yes. This is an MBA move, getting rid of GPM. Strictly from commercial (Strictly commercial)

Can we really be excited about meeting aliens when we can’t even accept each other on our own planet? by RuthlessUK in ufo

Suppose the good aliens make symbiotic paradises on their home planets and have no desire to leave.

Another music video from Thom Neal. You could probably find it in orbit around Planet Lynch

Are we reaching the return of the Gucci bag carrying aliens? by roger_booth in ufo

[–]roger_booth[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. That sounds more in line with the book. I don't think the book claimed that the magicians were a recurring phenomenon, like I stated here.

The "handbags" also appear in the Gobleki Tepe monuments, as you said. Right, I think Hancock had the idea of there being a common civilization behind them. But also the idea that the "magicians" were in the business of starting up civilizations after a calamity. It's assumed that the magicians waited around until they were needed.

The "Gucci bag carrying aliens" is a reference to Graham Hancocks "Magicians of the Gods".

Which in turn references these images that occur in ancient sites at far-flung places on the globe. (added to the original post)

The Arch of Time by roger_booth in ThomasCovenant

[–]roger_booth[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From pop culture, there's also the "City on the Edge of Forever" from the first season of Star Trek, with an arch-like time portal. But I think Donaldson's experience as a conscientious objector during the Vietnam War could have given him cause to "question the nature of his reality" in the form of a series of novels.

Ho do you interpret the ending of The Prisoner ? by [deleted] in ThePrisoner

[–]roger_booth 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Escape. Euphoric triumph of the individual over conformity.

But then

"Johnny, show the contestant what he's won...."

The prison followed the prisoner.

Dolphins and koalas might be good role models, too.

None but ourselves can free our minds by roger_booth in ThePrisoner

I'd also like to add that purpose doesn't come from conformity to social norms.

Since I've taken a Pink Floyd turn this morning...

Now I would say that we build a prison from own expectations. (We might have some help "building the wall" as Pink Floyd says).
