Jaume replied to Adriana's discussion Sam Harris says: profile Muslims!
"Typical. Ignore the counterarguments, save one or two that can be easily dismissed (or easily strawmanized, e.g. this 'political correctness' nonsense), and claim the round. Harris often uses this defense (I'd say about a half of his…"

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion What are your views on snob ?
"Hehe - yes, but the article also says, "it is difficult to see why it would have given rise to a word for a shoemaker", and my point is it's not difficult at all: you only have to lock a handful of frat boys in a room full of booze…"

"Boris Vian - the geniusest singer/songwriter ever."

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion What are your views on snob ?
"Not unlikely: more likely a combination of both. When humanities was the queen of academic disciplines, college students were very fond of etymological word games like this. Maybe 'sine nobilitate' came out as a explanation while they were…"

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion Old and spectacular stories... in the group Fantastique, sci-fi & imagination
"The analogy is not so clear to me. Yes, Tolkien borrowed elements and plots from Northern European myths here and there (not only Norse, by the way: for instance, Tolkien's Turin owes as much to the Finnish Kullervo as he owes to Sigurd), yet…"

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion Old and spectacular stories... in the group Fantastique, sci-fi & imagination
"Indeed, Rome used to make the deities of conquered places its own, and these often acquired the traits of former similar Roman deities in the process. But more often than not the new 'Romanized Greek' gods weren't even direct Greek…"

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion Old and spectacular stories... in the group Fantastique, sci-fi & imagination
"What did you expect? That's a recurring theme even in history: defying the powers that be to bring fire (i.e., knowledge, science) to mankind, brings gruesome punishment in turn. Your beloved Hypatia might be the ultimate Promethean figure, but…"

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion Old and spectacular stories... in the group Fantastique, sci-fi & imagination
"Sure I did, and they're sometimes weird in their own way: e.g., who'd know that Thor was a transvestite, or Loki an animal rape victim? These Norse legends usually aren't as 'epic' (dignified) as people think."

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion Old and spectacular stories... in the group Fantastique, sci-fi & imagination
"Same here. I found the Romans too stern and serious."

Jaume replied to Marianne's discussion Old and spectacular stories... in the group Fantastique, sci-fi & imagination
"As soon as I could read and until my late teens, I used to devour everything I could lay my hands that was about ancient myths from every corner of the planet. With a focus on Egypt, Greece, the Celts, and a few others, mainly because the literature…"

Jaume commented on Adriana's group Freethought and Funny Bones
"More Titanic trivia. I assume everyone here knows that Titanic was a real ship/event before Cameron brought it to the theaters, but how many of you did know that this novel came first? (Yep, even before the sinking.)"

Jaume replied to Adriana's discussion Conservative vs. liberal morality in the group Atheist Morality
"Huh. Cultural cognition theory - is it part of the American studies curriculum? Because what may be good for Yale students might not hold true for the rest of the world. I realize that 'libertarian communism' may sound like an oxymoron to…"

Jaume replied to Michel's discussion Heroes and Villains Gallery in the group Fantastique, sci-fi & imagination
"I wouldn't call them "heroes" (and villains even less), but Hopey and Maggie (and the rest of the cast of Love and Rockets, my favorite American comics of all time) are longtime favorites of mine. "
