Metal Gear Solid 2 predicted 2021 in 2001.
"All rhetoric to void conflict and protect each other from hurt.
The untested truhs spun by different interests continue to churn and accumulate - in the sandbox of politcal correctness and value systems."

Como se chama isso?
Os eleitores votam majoritariamente em candidatos da Direita para governadores, senadores e deputados federais, com diferenças de percentuais de votos superiores a 50%. Entretanto, quando se olha a votação para Presidente a diferença de votos a favor da direita é menor do que 10%.
George R.R. Martin es el único escritor que dice lo que muchos pensamos:
“Donde quiera que se mire, hay más guionistas y productores deseosos de tomar grandes historias y ‘hacerlas suyas’. No parece importar si el material original fue escrito por Stan Lee, Charles Dickens, Ursula K. Le Guin, J. R. R. Tolkien, Mark Twain, Raymond Chandler, Jane Austen o… bueno, cualquiera.
No importa cuán importante sea el escritor, no importa cuán bueno sea el libro, siempre parece haber alguien disponible que piensa que puede hacerlo mejor, ansioso por tomar la historia y ‘mejorarla’.
Novecientas noventa y nueve veces de cada mil, lo empeoran.” — George R. R. Martin
Y no podría estar más de acuerdo con él. Se puede recortar, juntar tramas o mover escenas. El medio lo exige. Pero el problema no es ese.
El problema llega cuando cambian el carácter de los personajes, les inventan conflictos que nunca tuvieron o eliminan precisamente aquello que explicaba sus decisiones.
Ahí ya no estás adaptando. Estás contando otra cosa con los mismos nombres.
Adaptar no debería significar cambiar lo que ya estaba bien o arreglar lo que no estaba roto.
A video of Serbian family celebrating the feast of St. Nicholas went viral on Instagram, but sadly it’s because many Americans mocked them for having simple food and humble circumstances.
Respect for their faith and resilience. God bless and help this family.

J.R.R Tolkien was a devout Catholic.
He once said: "The one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament... There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth."
In letter 43, Tolkien is writing to his son Michael:
“Out of the darkness of my life, so much frustrated, I put before you the one great thing to love on earth: the Blessed Sacrament. . . . There you will find romance, glory, honour, fidelity, and the true way of all your loves on earth, and more than that: Death: by the divine paradox, that which ends life, and demands the surrender of all, and yet by the taste—or foretaste—of which alone can what you seek in your earthly relationships (love, faithfulness, joy) be maintained, or take on that complexion of reality, of eternal endurance, which every man’s heart desires.
Later, in Letter 250, also to Michael, he writes:
"The only cure for sagging or fainting faith is Communion. Though always itself, perfect and complete and inviolate, the Blessed Sacrament does not operate completely and once for all in any of us. Like the act of Faith it must be continuous and grow by exercise. Seven times a week is more nourishing than seven times at intervals.”
