Definitely a huge overlap but mostly just because these are classic and great tropes from English-language literature. I doubt Dune was a major inspiration for WOT.

Aes Sedai - Bene - Moirai/Weird Sisters Moiraine is literally named after the Moirai

Paul/Rand are regular chosen ones with the foreign savior theme of Lawrence/Heart of Darkness added on for good measure

This doesn’t seem accurate at all. The census itself doesn’t display this info, is it from their website? Race is self reported so I don’t get why a origin map is relevant. Also, the US census does not consider hispanic/Latino to be a racial category. Folks who select that option for ethnicity are ALSO asked to select race seperately.

Yeah that seems right to me too. Source is the census, where Hispanic is an Ethnicity, so unless they excluded White Hispanics for some questionable reason I can’t imagine this being accurate.

For folks who haven’t read it before: Andy Weir’s ‘The Egg’

That section of the map overlays very closely with the Navajo reservation. AFAIK that area has high levels of poverty and a lot of homes do not have electricity at all. See this article that came up on search: https://amizade.org/keeping-warm-in-the-navajo-nation/

Not_Rick has a great answer but I will add something. Your question about the quote you posted is based on a disagreement about what race is, between you and social scientists. The phrase “we can take a DNA test and get our ancestry, telling us what percentage of what races make up our overall ethnicity” already assumes that genetics = race, end of story. But this is an unfounded assumption. All the test can tell is our genetics. Not_Rick offered some good examples for the counterpoint, that genetics ≠ race. If you disagree with that basic premise then you will always be bothered by modern theories on the subject such as CRT.

Once you see that race clearly is not just genetics, you can start asking what it truly is and what things do determine one’s race. These are much more interesting questions. For example, a new question might be ‘what has been the historical relationship between ethnicity and “being white” in the US’? And let’s not even start on the ridiculousness that is the census form.

Not sure about the other but PoppinKREAM became known on Reddit during the Mueller probe for very long, very well researched and cited comments mostly related to politics. Their citation style in particular meant their comments got tons of Reddit awards and were highly visible.

Same thing is happening in Seattle and likely everywhere else.

Le Guin prose is exceptional and would be nearly impossible to bring to screen well. I’m sure it will be tried at some point. Maybe a dark horse, but I actually think The Lathe of Heaven might be the most adaptable. It’s the simplest story and has plenty of room for exciting changes and visuals in a film.

For folks reading through these comments, it’s called DeArrow and is also crowdsourced, so the more users the better!

As others said, these are mostly all signs of some kind of executive dysfunction. Mine is from depression, not ADHD, but there’s a lot of overlap. I obsessively keep my inbox empty which is a whole 'nother vibe

Great rec

Well said. The idea of progress can truly be a shackle. Your username is doomer but you don’t sound like a doomer!

Thank you!

Circassia and that Greek Empire are both pretty bold predictions for 1863, along with a World Capital in Lisbon. I wonder what Dron would have predicted for Anatolia… maybe some sort of renewed Caliphate across the mideast? I think it’s interesting that Gdansk/Danzig seems to be in Germany but Konigsberg/Kaliningrad is in Poland. Seems like a pretty arbitrary straight line border there, I guess Dron couldn’t predict a border at our current one after Germany lost two world wars.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your personal take on the whole thing. As someone who has never been fat, I’m trying to figure out what’s the whole deal with the various movements around it. I feel it’s gonna become a much bigger cultural discussion in the next decade. And congrats on getting down to a happier weight for you! Setting and reaching goals is definitely something to be celebrated.

I downvoted because this is a popular opinion. MCU is the same thing. Most people probably don’t have a strong opinion on Star Wars either way, but for the people who do there are plenty who think it sucks.
