WARNING: The thread will contain spoilers. Recently I watched:

Ender's Game

It's a movie about a group of kids (aged 12-15 or so) who are trained from young age in warfare to become soldiers and defend humans against an alien threat. Ultimately, they end up being given control of an entire army and exterminate the aliens while still thinking they're just playing a game.

Follow-up to the CRAP thread.

Modernity represents this turning away from reality, this self-referential process (solipsism) which I've identified as true Nihilism, where reality, nature, the world is not engaged in directly but indirectly.
The F-Artist depicts his emotional reactions to the world, and so he can claim to have value simply because he can convey them...or his marketing team …
