Read my short story, The Transcendent!

It follows a young scientist who is part of a project to build the first man-made wormhole. The project leads to the uncovering of deep, unexpected truths about human nature and our place in the universe.

@lukeisamazing The difference between a"Lord of the Rings fan" and a Tolkien fan

Lotr is only one story in a several thousand year history. It's not even the best one in my opinion and far from the most epic, or biggest scale

Confidence comes from authenticity. People speak of "aura" that cannot come from following, from turning away from your soul. There will always be a voice in your conscience knowing that you lie.

Those who gather the most applause in the end do not seek it out in the beginning

[Multiforo Alici@ @multiforoalicio]

“No busques ser cool. Sé apasionado, sé comprometido, sé tú mismo. La autenticidad es más punk que cualquier chaqueta de cuero. Escribe, canta, crea, aunque nadie escuche. Porque el arte verdadero nace del alma, no del aplauso.”

.— Patti Smith

@RobertHunterFL @WalterEigoh @JoshKale You said "gases that are boiling off the liquefied fuels." Theres not another gas that boils off the fuel. But I know what you meant, like how I misspoke by saying excess, which you could interpret as close enough.
Just messing with you.

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@RobertHunterFL @WalterEigoh @JoshKale No it's burning boiled off fuel

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@JoshKale It didn't blow up twice in a row, only this time. They failed to land on the first launch which wasn't too surprising and they failed to reach their final orbit last launch

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@WalterEigoh @JoshKale Burns off excess fuel so it doesn't sit around and cause risk of explosion

Ironic

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@LiuInTheShadows You can't just borrow a launch pad, that's not gonna happen. They're built specifically for the launch vehicles they support

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@venturetwins That's quite the file

It's not a huge crowd pleaser but it's pretty well regarded as great. Oscar Isaac's performance is really good regardless

Usually letterbox scores of 4 or above are really good and it has a 4.0. Rotten tomatoes can be weird sometimes, sometimes the audience is off, sometimes the critics are off

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@ClueHaywood_6 @CinemaTweets1 Watch Inside Llewyn Davis, if you have any taste you'll realize how good Oscar Isaac is

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@CinemaTweets1 @KneeDeep395 Doesn't have great reviews, it premiered at film festival last year

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@Hitchslap1 Another factor is that men are more interested in things and women are more interested in people on average. Men might be interested in aliens if they like science, technology, or space while women are interested in people who still might be around or are haunting them

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@Kochara13 @WRanald @XFreeze It's obviously a 2001 monolith

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@Iketleng72 @pmcafrica Nah he had it coming

[Rory @Rorywrite]

@TheCinesthetic They only did it because they could undo it in the next movie.

Should have left off with that ending. That would have been bold.

Still, Infinity War, taken on its own, might be the best Marvel movie

[Rory @Rorywrite]

Just make it work first

Big difference

I'm such a nerd for this stuff. 🚀

⚡️The meaning of life is to become a conscious participant in creation.

That is the real answer.

You are born into forces you did not choose: body, time, death, family, wounds, gifts, desire, language, culture, history, biology. At first, those forces live through you. They move you. They script you. They make you think their momentum is your identity.

Meaning begins when consciousness wakes up inside that machinery and starts choosing what deserves to continue.

Then the task becomes creation.

Not shallow self-expression. Not random rebellion. Not “do whatever makes you happy.” Real creation. The kind that converts inherited chaos into living order. The kind that turns pain into wisdom, love into protection, talent into work, perception into truth, and mortality into something that survives beyond the ego.

A meaningful life leaves reality different because you passed through it.

A child raised with love.

A truth spoken when silence was safer.

A body of work that names what others could not see.

A wound transfigured instead of repeated.

A family protected.

A signal emitted into the dark.

A life that becomes more than reaction.

That is the core.

The meaning of life is to receive existence, become awake within it, and return something true back into the world.

The pattern does not need to be famous. It does not need to be large. It does not need applause. It needs to be real.

The death test is the cleanest one: when the person disappears, did anything become more conscious, more loved, more ordered, more free, more true because that life existed?

If yes, meaning happened.

Deepest compression:

Life is the universe becoming conscious through finite beings, then asking those beings to create, love, protect, and tell the truth before they disappear.
