Piracy is the most effective way to preserve movie history, whether you like it or not... Especially older obscure films... Great filmmakers understand that fact... Werner Herzog is certainly one of them. There are millions of cinephiles today who wouldn't have been exposed to great films if not for piracy. In countries like India, it is the only way to watch older movies, since the other options are unaffordable for normal working people. Most studios & almost all the streaming platforms don't care about preserving movies, but the pirates do. We are forever indebted to their passion & hard work.

Werner Herzog was on a podcast a few weeks ago defending piracy again: "Piracy is the most succesful form of distribution nowadays. So be it. But films are accessible and this is why very young people discover them" 🎙️ Freakonomics Radio Podcast Ep. 665

the pagan thinks the world is weaved from an infinity of names; the monotheist thinks those names are issued from one supreme name; the mystic knows this supreme name comes forth from nothingness, and is ultimately nothingness itself

"God" is good for the commoner, for the peasant. it is a terrible catachresis, for it names what lies beyond names

any serious mystical approach of God will eventually lead to the need of altogether giving up the signifier "God", as it reveals itself to be limiting and inappropriate

Trump's ICE militias have just executed a 37-year old protestor dead in Minneapolis. The killer fired ten bullets to make sure the execution was successful. The Governor has ordered the National Guard into the city. Trump should be impeached and removed before his people kill more innocents. And a nation-wide general strike is needed to prevent more killings. The US ships heading to Iran to 'defend civil liberties' should return home. They're needed.
