This reveals your relatively weak understanding of economics, Rand. There is in fact a thing called “Asset Inflation” which is not merely an effect of money printing. It has to do with more fundamental factors like Supply vs Demand, relative scarcity caused by structural issues in the underlying economy, and downstream effects of asset and capital allocation decisions, that are influenced by myriad of other factors (including international/cross border capital flows, not to mention government policy decisions regarding trade policy, interest rates and subsidization). Have one of your staffers pull a basic price index time series graph together for you, begin the time series in 1990 and run it to today, index all starting data points to 100, and then track the real increase in prices between different classes of consumer goods vs real property (each as a separate time series). That will explain it all to you.

@pureMetatron Bro, the Iliad is historical, but the Odyssey is the bullshit fantasy tale that Odysseus told his wife when he got back when she asked “what took you so long?” and he knew he couldn’t say “I was out r*ping and pillaging and having a great f*cking time for the last 10 years!”

@TheeHimulation @HomerPavlos 😆 exactly! It’s all about the money at the end of the day

Yeah, I agree. I’m usually a stickler for this kind of stuff, but I was more annoyed that he couldn’t get the outfits, armor and weapons correct for the time. The somewhat multi-ethnic casting didn’t bother me, and it’s probably not too far off from the diversity you would’ve seen amongst seafaring bronze age populations. I don’t know that you would’ve seen the Bantu/West African phenotype on a Bronze Age worship, but you certainly could’ve seen some Egyptians and given Egypt itself was multi-ethnic at that time who knows maybe there would’ve been a Nubian or two throwing their lot in with the rest of the pirates or as a soldier of fortune. The eastern Mediterranean was a crossroads of nations at that time, as it is now.

@TheFP @estherckrakue Saw the movie as well, she actually nailed it. She coherently articulated how I felt about the film but lacked the words to describe.

[Qey Qebero @QQebero]

It was OK. I didn’t hate it. I was entertained at times. The final third of the movie is better than the first 2/3, which is good because it is a long movie. I think it’s difficult to write a coherent screenplay that works in the context of a 2 1/2 hour movie using ancient epic poetry as the source material, but that aspect of the movie was actually successful. The narrative, the sequencing of events, the use of flashbacks and time discontinuity….that all worked well. What didn’t work well honestly was the casting, almost across the board. I am American, but I hate hearing American accents in historical movies, particularly medieval/ancient time periods. It’s an immediate anachronism and makes it more difficult to convince yourself that you’re watching anything other than a cheap facsimile and takes away from the experience. Also, there wasn’t really a good actor, in the classic sense, anywhere in the cast. Some of the dialogue and lines were also mediocre to poor. That said, the movie worked overall and I think the average movie goer will enjoy it.

One final point, they worked in references to the Sea Peoples as a looming threat in the background and a harbinger of a breakdown of civilization that the characters in the movie were themselves conscience of. There was one line where one character complains how everything used to be great why can’t we just keep trading with each other etc, basically how the international system was breaking down because people had forgotten the laws of the gods which required treating everybody kindly, something like that. That felt like a relatively shallow strained attempt to signal the director’s displeasure with changes in the current/contemporary international system. I guess they just can’t help themselves…. A movie always has to be propaganda at some level in their view.

@JessicaTarlov @emeriticus You are a prominent example of why women shouldn’t vote (or at least why retarded leftist women shouldn’t vote).

@CBSNews This post reads like it was written by a unserious, poorly trained, and ethically dubious 20-year-old. Most thinking people wrote off the network news bureaus two decades ago, they’re just not serious organizations.
