Science is for Stupid People

Every ideology needs to believe in its inevitability. Religions get their inevitability from prophecies; secular ideologies get theirs from the modernist fallacy.

The modernist fallacy says that history is moving on an inevitable track toward their ideology. Resistance is futile, you will be liberalized. Marxism predicted the inevitable breakdown of capitalism. Obama keeps talking about being “on the right side of history” as if history, like a university history curriculum, has a right side and a wrong side. All everyone has to do is grab a sign and march “Forward!” to the future.

The bad economics and sociology around which the left builds its Socialist sand castles assume that technological progress will mean improved control. Capitalism with its mass production convinced budding Socialists that the entire world could be run like a giant factory under technocrats who would use industrial techniques to control the economic production of mankind in line with their ideals.

The USSR and moribund European economies broke that theory into a million little pieces.

The dot com revolution with its databases and subtle tools for manipulating individuals on a collective basis led to a Facebook Socialism that crowdsources its culture wars and “nudges” everyone into better habits, lower body masses and conveniently available death panels.

The iSocialist, like his industrial predecessor, assumes that technology gives superintelligent leftists better tools for controlling everything. The planned economy failed in the twentieth because the tools of propaganda posters, quotas and gulags were too crude. This time he is certain that it will work.

Intelligence is to leftists what divine right was to the crowned kings of Europe. They frantically brand themselves as smart because in a technocracy, superiority comes from intelligence. Their vision is the right one because they are the smart ones. Their shiny future is backed by what they call “science”.

Science, the magic of the secular age, is their church. But science isn’t anyone’s church. Science is much better at disproving things than at proving them. It’s a useful tool for skeptics, but a dangerous tool for rulers. Like art, science is inherently subversive and like art, when it’s restricted and controlled, it stops being interesting.

Neil deGrasse Tyson’s defenders reacted to his basic errors by asserting that even if he had made a mistake, science, collectively, was right. Science is of course neither right nor wrong; its methodology can be used to determine whether something is right or wrong.

In Tyson’s case, science determined long ago that at least one of his claims was wrong. Neil deGrasse Tyson doesn’t embody science. No individual does. What Tyson embodies is manufactured intelligence. Manufactured intelligence is how we knew that Obama was smart. But manufactured intelligence has the same relationship to intelligence as a painting of the ocean does to the real thing.

The real ocean is complicated and messy. So is real intelligence. Manufactured intelligence is the fashion model playing a genius in a movie. Real intelligence is an awkward man obsessing over a handful of ideas, some of them ridiculously wrong, but one of which will change the world.

Real intelligence isn’t marketable because it doesn’t make an elite feel good about its power.

Biblical fake prophets were often preferred to real prophets because they made rulers feel comfortable about the future. The modern technoprophet assures a secular elite that it can effectively control people and that it even has the obligation to do so. It tells them that “science” is on their side.

The easy way to tell real religion from fake religion is that real religion doesn’t make you feel good. It doesn’t assure you that everything you’re doing is right and that you ought to keep on doing it.

The same holds true for science. Real science doesn’t make you feel smart. Fake science does.

No matter how smart you think you are, real science will make you feel stupid far more often than it will make you feel smart. Real science not only tells us how much more we don’t know than we know, a state of affairs that will continue for all of human history, but it tells us how fragile the knowledge that we have gained is, how prone we are to making childish mistakes and allowing our biases to think for us.

Science is a rigorous way of making fewer mistakes. It’s not very useful to people who already know everything. Science is for stupid people who know how much they don’t know.

A look back at the march of science doesn’t show an even line of progress led by smooth-talking popularizers who are never wrong. Instead the cabinets of science are full of oddballs, unqualified, jealous, obsessed and eccentric, whose pivotal discoveries sometimes came about by accident. Science, like so much of human accomplishment, often depended on lucky accidents to provide a result that could then be isolated and systematized into a useful understanding of the process.

Modernism is a style that offers a seamless vision of perfection that doesn’t exist. The accomplishments of our age haven’t changed human nature and they have not made us infallible.

Real science tells us that we are basically stupid. A close study of history proves it. And that’s a good thing. Stupid people can learn from their mistakes. Self-assured elites convinced of their own superior intelligence can’t. Everyone makes mistakes. The future belongs to those who recognize them.

The inability of Neil deGrasse Tyson and his defenders to acknowledge that he is wrong is a revealing look at the rotten core of the liberal elite which is incapable of admitting its errors, but sneers and smears its way out of a moral reckoning every time. Its ideology with its assumption of central control over lives and economies is too dependent on its own illusion of genius not to lie about its failures.

It is too big to fail and that makes its failure inevitable.

Tysonism is why ObamaCare suffered a disastrous launch, why the VA reorganization didn’t work and why we’re back in Iraq. Technocrats don’t make mistakes. They can’t. They’re only at the top because they’re smart. If they ever admitted to being stupid, they would lose their right to rule.

Like Lysenkoism, Tysonism uses ideology to determine the outcomes of science. That’s how we keep ending up with Global Warming as settled science no matter how often the actual science contradicts it.

Tysonism appropriates science without understanding it. Its science consists of factoids, some right and some wrong, which simplify and clarify everything. Its manufactured intelligence makes people feel smart without actually giving them the critical tools to question the false assumptions of a Tyson.

What the left calls science is really a hypothesis accepted as a fact without the skepticism. Its intelligence is a conclusion without bothering to determine whether it’s true. Science and intelligence are perpetual processes that are never truly settled. But in law and government, as in all other fields, the left discards the process and asserts an inevitable outcome by virtue of its superiority.

Intelligence as ideology is at the heart of the left. Its Orwellian twist discards the need for using intelligence to question its ideology by asserting that the issue is settled. To be smart is to be left and to be left is to be smart. And only stupid people would question that.

There is no need to think about anything because the smart people have already done all the thinking. You can show you are smart by accepting their conclusions or show your stupidity by questioning them.

Science and skepticism are the tools of stupid people. As Socrates put it, I know that I know nothing. We have the most to fear from the smart people who don’t know and will never admit how little they know.

I recently saw a Firing Line show in which Mr. William F. Buckley interviewed David Susskind. Susskind spent the entire hour insisting that Liberals were intelligent because they were liberal. Non-liberals were not intelligent because they were non-liberal. Universities were liberal because that is where intelligent people were. Graduates of liberal universities were liberal because they were educated (to be liberal). Mr. Buckley could never get Mr. Susskind off that circular saw of an argument . He was finally able to get Mr. Susskind to admit that there were indeed intelligent conservatives in existence, but they were too boring for his show.

mindRider said...

Your column hits the nail on the head again, I just had a Disqus discussion on the JPost on why science would have transformed, nothing, nowhere and never into something, somewhere and ever. To which he claimed that science had already proven such while I claimed science can never laboratory prove non reproducible events with even input data lacking making religion as plausible an answer. From his arrogance and derogatory riposte I deducted that politically he must be a member of the silly left to which he readily admitted, claiming no scientific progress would have ever been made without the left.

I've missed something. What is your beef with Tyson?

Anonymous said...

Jeeebus, you completely missed what science and skepticism are. Not only that, you take a single data point of "Tyson" and turn it into an ideology and extrapolate it to all of science. The lack of brevity shows you've never published anything peer-reviewed. I'll forgive you for making crass assumptions with little science background; but for love of science, please write about things you know and stay away from those which are uneducated opinions.

Johnny said...

Education in the United States is science based and college graduates very commonly have a degree in one or another of the sciences. But graduating with a degree in science does not make you a scientist. A person with a degree in chemistry who ends up working as an insurance salesperson will be called and regarded as an insurance salesperson, not an scientist.

What makes a person a scientist is not the educational background but the employment. If our insurance salesperson with a degree in chemistry were to get lucky and land a job that involved research in chemistry, he could and might well call himself a scientist. If our insurance person were to land a job with a university as a professor in chemistry, he would then be called a professor and would easily be able to presume to speak for the science of chemistry. In fact, if he teaches, that is exactly what he would be doing. By the source of his employment he would gain the right to speak for science.

To sum it up, being called a scientist or presuming the right to speak for science in the United States is not based primarily on knowledge or background. More than anything else, what allows a person to speak for science is employment. Get the right job and you are a scientist. That being the case, the people who actually get to determine who the scientists are, are the people who hire the people who are called scientists. And so it is actually the people who hire the so called scientists who get to determine what science is. They do it by who they decide to employ. If the scientist works for an environmental group, expect the science to favor their agenda. Or if the scientist works for industry, science is unlikely to work against the interests of the particular industry.

Now of course the biggest employer of scientists is the government, mainly through subsidies to universities. And surprise, surprise, the science that emanates from our universities has a curious way of working to the interest of an expanded and more powerful government.

To the extent that the Left holds to mankind contributing to Global Warming, while the conservative Right holds to the Earth experiencing climate change regardless of man's intervention shows that the Left is NOT being determinist while the Right is. Not that I think that the Left is correct. I am merely saying that, within the narrow confines of the issue regarding mankind contributing to Global Warming, the Left is displaying an understanding that the Earth's climate does not display a straight line of progress, while the Right is displaying the fallacy that the Earth's climate is inevitably moving towards its destiny.

(1) Nice piece, but I should point out that "right-wingers" in the US also believe in the inevitability of history. They were the ones who said that if only we could get rid of the Communist regime in the USSR or Saddam Hussein's rule in Iraq, those countries would become democracies since supposedly everyone in the world wants what I want....that is, democracy. Well, we see the Russians and Iraqis (and Egyptians, for that matter) don't want democracy, they want dictators who treat the nicely or belong to whatever sect they belong to.

(2) Obama's repeated use of the phrase "you are on the wrong side of history" is taken straight out of the Marxist-Leninist playbook and is a beautiful illustration of where he and his acolytes are coming from.

(3) George Orwell wrote an article decrying those who, after the invention of the A-Bomb were demanding more "scientific education". What they meant was more education about technical matters, but Orwell insisted that people need to be taught more how to think critically which many, many scientists don't do. Studying science doesn't make people think more clearly by itself.

This has to be a joke. Nobody could really be so ignorant and stupid as to discount the truth and validity of the scientific method, right? Tell me people that stupid do not really walk the earth. When you declare religion to be wrong, they try to kill you. When you declare science to be wrong, they investigate, and if a problem is really found, any good scientist chucks that theory out without a second thought, never putting his trust into something proven wrong, and starts over, attempting to create a new theory that fits the new facts and evidence. If science was wrong, do you think your cell phone would work? Or your TV? Or your car? Science is only concerned with the truth. Religion is only concerned with keeping its leaders comfortably taken care of, with all the comforts and conveniences they enjoy coming from your donations and tithes, which is much better than actually getting a job and having to work for a living. Telling fairy tales and fantasy to a congregation of brain-dead fools is much easier than getting a real job, and it pays well, too.

KWM - Cycles in the natural world are simply science. They are the result of knowable laws. Determinism when it comes to human history is what is dubious.

Ben David - I wouldn't exactly call those people the right. Center-right at best and barely that.

Anon - You should probably read the article first

I really should read the other comments before adding mine, but I just have to say how much I liked this. Excellent summation of modern skeptical conservative thought. Thank you so much.

To Ms. Shipley:

As a high-school physics teacher holding both a bachelor's and master's degree, I feel I have earned the right to say that I know at least a little of how my discipline works. When I heard that they were coming out with a new version of Cosmos, I became quite excited and looked forward to watching the series. I watched only the first episode, however. And it was painful to watch. What horrible "science". Here are just a few key points: The multiverse. What??? That is NOT science; it is neither provable nor un-provable. So religions are looked down upon for creating an afterlife and heaven and hell, etc., but Tyson feels free to create his many alternative realities! Absurd. Moving on: That whole cartoon about Bruno was really just trying to attack religion and, as an extension, say that science (or his brand of "appeal-to-my-authority" kind of science) has been thwarted by religion. Hard to enumerate how this cartoon within the "documentary" was wrong in so many ways in a concise manner, but, basically, he had to hold Bruno up and say that Bruno was more important to science than Kepler or Galileo (he most certainly was not, and he was not even a scientist). He had to do that because Copernicus and Galileo died peacefully in their sleep and they are not a good example of "science good/religion bad". He had to resort to using a non-scientist to make his point. There are quite a few more irritating things that made Tyson and his presentation on Cosmos bad science, but those are the main ones. And what is more, he has this air about "It is that way because I said so. If you can't understand me, you are clearly stupid and your shoe-size is larger than your IQ."

To Mr. Greenfield: Agreed.

A true scientist is usually a skeptic, two of my children are researchers who readily admit that the more they study a thing, the more they see the complications, coincidences, and flaws. However, in some circles, there is kind of a strange bedfellows arrangement between science, and what I would call P.R. The P.R. is needed to raise funds and sometimes make soothing noises for the public, and political P.R. to get elected representatives to help with gov't funding. The latter seems to be the case in a subject like climate change.
Conversely, the more enlightened religions have been key in keeping large mostly illiterate, groups from killing each other, or diminishing the food supply, or eating their camels and marrying their daughters....Religion has surely advanced civil society and given hopeless people comfort.
It has generated philanthropy, service to others, not to mention much of the great art of our ancestors. The argument , as we see daily, is that in some cases, it has been used a a weapon of murder and misery.
This is not a zero sum equation, it is possible to support science and have faith too, all that is required is an open mind.
Problems arise because most of us see no reason to keep two seemingly disparate balls in the air at once, so we often choose one or the other, which is logical, as long as our choices remain personal, and we don't attempt to impose our chosen belief system on everyone else.

"Science is of course neither right nor wrong; its methodology can be used to determine whether something is right or wrong." Minor quibble. Actually science never determines what is right, ONLY what is wrong. What is right is always under suspicion, doubt, investigation, and sceptical inquiry. That is why we have the Theory of Gravity, and the Therry of Evolution, rather than the facts of either. A fact (the truth) is simply an indisputable measurement of something. It is data. Everything else is conjecture.

As an engineer/student:

No matter how smart you think you are, real science will make you feel stupid far more often than it will make you feel smart.

This. THIS THIS THIS THIS. I’ve spent the past 20 years of my life feeling outrageously stupid, one mind-bending class/paradox/problem/domain at a time. I don’t know about any of these wunderkind prodigies who show up in popular culture, magically imbued in the cradle with penetrating understanding of everything; but how things worked for me is that I’d be introduced to something, not understand it, work my ass off until I did understand it, get bugged by apparent clashes and contradictions with previous knowledge, chase down these contradictions and figure out where I was going wrong (or discover some new subtlety that even the books I’m learning from don’t consider or gloss over), eventually work up to the point where I can apply the new concept in an intuitive manner. Then these tools would enable me to tackle the next layer of weirdness. And so on for 20 years of layers.

I’ve never taken a flying leap of logic more than a layer or two deep and felt *confident* in the correctness of where I’ve landed any more than I’ve coded 5000 line complex programs before and had them run bug free on the first compile.

Thank you. Your effort is very much appreciated.

Here another thing about science that is stupid. The principle of faliability. All theories must be able to be disproven for it to be acceptable.

Enjoying it again

Hope it doesn't show in the quality. Long ago, I read a review of a Van Morrison gig. The reviewer said that if he was so cheerful that he actually acknowledged the audience and said hello at the start, you could expect a crappy gig. But when he looked properly pissed off and turned his back, the music would be heavenly.

Oh, when will it end?

Mentally exhausted, but pushing on. Why? Life would feel even more boring and pointless without this work.

Outer Banks Area Features

Dog Days of Vacation

We love our four-legged companions. They’re part of the family! So whenever possible, we take them on vacation. Easier said than done, right? Despite the fact that a growing number of hotels, restaurants and attractions accommodate animals, it’s hard to figure out where your faithful companion will be welcomed. Fortunately, the OBX is more dog-friendly than many other vacation destinations. So, where on the Outer Banks can we go together as a family?

Some of our favorite attractions:

  • The Beach! Year-round, there are numerous oceanfront places you can take your dog. The Outer Banks is remarkably dog-friendly but before you go, research the ordinances for the beach you plan on visiting. Definitely keep your pet safe and on a leash.
  • On the water. Rent a boat through BigWave boat rentals and let “Luna” feel the salt air in her face.
    Jockey’s Ridge. Dogs are welcome to explore the outdoor areas with their humans. There’s hiking and picnicking for both dogs and owners. Or, take them to the dog park in Kitty Hawk to play with other dogs.
  • Out for a bite to eat. Some places such as Jimmy’s Seafood Buffet and Kill Devil’s Frozen Custard & Beach Fries allow diners to invite their four-legged companions to join them in their outdoor seating areas.
  • Or go for a drink. Most local breweries and vineyards are dog-friendly, and the Bacchus Wine and Cheese shop patio welcomes furry friends to hang out with you. Please use a designated driver to make sure everyone leaves safely.
  • Shopping. “Felix” will love a stop at stores such as the Outer Barks. This boutique store carries merchandise that represents over 200 dog breeds. There’s even a doggie “yappy” hour on Thursdays in the summer! Or, after doggie day-care or a grooming service at Holistic Pet Shop, your well-behaved pooch can be rewarded with their specialty dog treats.

For the safety of your pet, please remember the following:

  • Hot pavement can burn paws. Be mindful about the temperature on which they’re walking.
  • Bring a lot of cool fresh water for your pet to drink. Ocean (salt) water is very dangerous to dogs. It can cause dehydration, vomiting and intestinal pain.
  • Do not EVER leave your animal locked in a vehicle by itself. Even a 70-degree day with the windows cracked can be lethal to an animal (or human!) within minutes.
  • Keep your dog leashed, in your control and be attentive. Please don’t let your dog approach another dog without the owner’s permission. Just because your fur-ball is friendly doesn’t mean the other dog welcomes the company.

We hope this information will help you and your pet have a safe and pawsome time in the Outer Banks of North Carolina!

Borrower Resources

Following are some of the most common loan terms and definitions that you may encounter.

Additional Principal Payment - A payment by a borrower of more than the scheduled principal amount due in order to reduce the remaining balance on the loan.

Adjustable Rate Loan/Mortgage (ARM) - A home loan where the interest rate can be adjusted periodically on the basis of changes in an index, as stated in the loan document.

Adjustment Periods - Adjustment periods are terms set out in the loan document that call for possible changes in the interest rate and payments during a particular time frame of an ARM loan, which could be from one month to several years.

Amortization Schedule - The amortization schedule of a loan is the timetable for loan re-payment that shows how much of each payment is applied to interest and how much to principal, as well as the remaining balance after each payment.

Annual Percentage Rate (APR) - The cost of credit on a yearly basis, expressed as a percentage.

Appraisal - An appraisal is a written analysis of the estimated value of real estate, usually conducted to determine the loan amount. Appraisals on behalf of lenders are prepared by licensed appraisers.

Asset - An asset is anything a person owns that has monetary value.

Balloon Loan - A balloon loan is one that calls for a large sum to be paid at the end of the loan term.

Balloon Payment - A lump-sum payment that may be required at the end of some mortgage loans, or at a specified period of time (e.g. 5 years into a loan).

Bankruptcy - A proceeding authorized by federal law which provides debtors with various kinds of relief from their debts.

Basis Point - One one-hundredth of one percent. Used primarily to describe changes in yield or price on debt instruments, including mortgages and mortgage-backed securities. Commonly used to describe differences in mortgage interest rates.

Before Tax Income - Earnings calculated before income taxes are deducted.

Buy-Down Loan - A temporary buy-down is a loan on which a borrower makes a one-time payment to reduce the interest rate during the first year or years of a loan. A permanent buy-down reduces the interest rate over the course of the entire loan term.

Cap - A cap is a provision of an adjustable rate loan (ARM) that limits how much the variable interest rate may increase or decrease during the life of the loan.

Cash Out Refinance - A cash out refinance is a loan in which the amount borrowed exceeds the total amount needed to repay the original loan and loan expenses, in essence putting cash into the borrower's pocket.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy - A court petition that requires that you liquidate your non-exempt assets, including your home in certain cases, in exchange for a discharge of most of your debts.

Chapter 13 Bankruptcy - A court petition that allows you to enter into a payment plan with the court to repay some or all of your debts over a three- to five-year period.

Closing - The "closing" is the period that marks that a loan transaction is final.

Closing Costs - Fees paid at closing, including attorneys’ fees, fees for preparing and filing a mortgage, fees for title search, taxes and insurance.

Co-Signer/Co-Borrower - Another person who signs the loan and assumes equal responsibility for its payments.

Collateral - Property used to secure repayment of a loan.

Collection - A loan goes into collection when payment on a loan is delinquent and efforts are made to collect the amount due. This is also the stage at which the lender files the papers necessary to prepare to proceed with foreclosure.

Combined Loan to Value (CLTV) - The sum of all liens on the property divided by the value (or purchase price, if applicable) of the property.

Conventional Loan - Consumers need to demonstrate excellent credit in order to obtain an "A" or conventional loan, generally a credit score of 670-680 or higher.

Credit Bureau - An organization that gathers, records, updates, and stores financial and public records information about the payment records of individuals who are being considered for credit.

Credit Report - Information collected by credit bureaus about your credit history, including where you owe money, how much you owe, your credit cards and their balances, and whether you pay your bills on time.

Credit Score - A number, based on information in your credit report that is used by most lenders to decide whether to extend credit and at what cost. The most common score used is called a FICO score.

Creditor - A person or business from whom you borrow or to whom you owe money.

Credit Limit - The maximum amount that may be borrowed.

Debt Consolidation - Refinancing one or more existing debts into a new loan. In the mortgage-lending context, relatively short-term, unsecured debt is often rolled into a long-term mortgage loan.

Debt-to-income Ratio - The amount of money you have to pay out each month as a percent of your gross income. For example, $2,500 of debt service / $5,000 of gross income = 50% DTI (debt-to-income) ratio.

Default - Default on a loan is when a borrower fails to comply with any of the terms of an agreed-upon loan, including timely repayment.

Depreciation - Loss of value in real property brought about by age, physical deterioration, or functional/economical obsolescence. Generally, the loss of value due to any cause.

Disclosures - Information that must be given to consumers to make them aware of acts and laws that affect their financial dealings.

Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) - The Equal Credit Opportunity Act (ECOA) is a federal law that prohibits lenders from discrimination on the basis of race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, or receipt of income from public assistance programs or the exercise of certain consumer rights.

Equity - The difference between the fair market value (appraised value) of your property and any outstanding loans, liens and encumbrances.

Escrow - Escrow is a separate account where money and/or documents are held by a third party until previously specified conditions are met. Often times, escrow is referred to as the time period between an offer to purchase a home being accepted by the sellers(s) and the financial details being settled.

Fair Credit Reporting Act - The Fair Credit Reporting Act is a federal consumer protection law that regulates the disclosure of consumer credit reports and establishes procedures for correcting any errors that may appear on a credit report.

Fair Market Value - The value of a property, which is typically based on comparable sales of similar properties within the last six months.

FICO Score - A credit score developed by Fair Isaac & Co. that determines the likelihood that credit users will pay their bills. Scoring is widely accepted by lenders as a reliable means of credit evaluation.

Fixed-rate Loan - A fixed-rate loan is one in which the interest rate or scheduled payment amount does not change during the course of the loan.

Foreclosure - The process by which your lender sells your property at public auction to pay off your loan.

Home Equity Line of Credit - A credit agreement, secured by the home, in which the borrower can borrow up to a fixed credit limit.

Impounds - A trust account established by lenders for the accumulation of borrower funds to meet certain expenses such as taxes and hazard insurance.

Index - A published rate that serves as a base for the interest rate charged on a loan and also as the base for rates changes used by the lender.

Interest Rate - The percentage rate that lenders charge for use of their money.

Jumbo Loan - Generally, a loan that is larger than the limits set by the Federal National Mortgage Association and the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation. Because jumbo loans cannot be funded by these two agencies, they usually carry a higher interest rate.

Lender - The individual or company that loans you money.

Lien - A legal claim upon a piece of property generally for the payment of a debt or obligation.

Loan-to-Value Ratio - The amount of money you owe on your loans as a percent of the market value of your home.

Minimum Payment - The minimum amount that you must pay, usually monthly, on your loan. Under some plans, the minimum payment may cover interest only; under others, it may include both principal and interest.

The Fresh Prince has returned...

I was thinking about the idea of using cell shaded graphics in our final movie. In my opinion if we are not care full it could look a bit pants. However, when we were at the Eurogamer Exbo, I got to play the new Prince or Persia and loved the art style. I think shooting for something like this should be our goal. Try and make it like a living illustration!

Yankee Flesh Eaters

Josh drew a zombie cowboy, today Sam drew a zombie cowboy so I thought "Screw it I'll draw a zombie cowboy too!". So here it is...a zombie cowboy. The perspectives a little funny on the legs.

Rough Storyboard

Here is a rough storyboard that I drew. It is a collection of quick ink sketches that illustrate ideas for shots for our fly through. These drawings are really basic, quite embarrassingly so, but I wanted to just get a rough idea down. They could be a little clearer, I might do a neater version later.

Old Sketch

This is an old sketch from a week ago that I did. It is a quick design of the main mountain (which I knick-named Turd Mountain) and the entrance to the mine. In our formative, Jared told me to analyse my work more. So here I thought that I could have worked on the perspective more and the pencil work is not that great. But my main aim was to get a quick design for the mountain down.

Colour Environment Concept

As promised here is my colour concept. I tried to incorporate the colour scheme from Sam's mood board. I've put two versions of the concept one with a grainy layer on top of it, I thought that maybe we could use this effect in the style of the final film.

Graveyard/Mine Cocept

Hey guys, here's a concept that I drew for the opening to the mine. I thought that we could turn it into a sort of graveyard due to all the deaths related to the mine. This is also a style experimentation, it's definitely up for debate so tell me what you think. I have another colour design coming up but photoshop is not doing what it's told.

Saturday, 25 October 2008

Fly though

Hey guys here is a cool moody flythrough, it's the opening from Nightmare Before Christmas. It's got a really cool mood to the opening which I think, could be incorperated into the movie (except we won't rape Tim Burton's style like every other animation student on the planet!)

Wednesday, 22 October 2008

Hey this clip was a suggestion from my sister. I saw the clip and realised that the movie has a very cool design for a mining area. It is very tall and speratic!

Nevada Smith

Hey guys, I've been watching some old westerns and this one is pretty cool. It's called Nevada Smith and it stars Steve Mcqueen as a mixed race native american. Yeah I still find that part pretty unbelievable. It's about a boy who, after his parents are murdered by bandits, sets out on an all out kill-fest in revenge. He pretty much goes through the entire movie kicking the crap out of anyone he remotly resembles a cowboy, unfortunatly due to the limited wardrobe of the movie, that means that most of the cast gets an ass whopping. The reason I mentioned this film is because the area where he lives is a mining village. Unfortunately I couldn't find a clip so instead i posted the movie's title sequence! :)

Now I know what you guys are thinking, "Why the Hell has Lewis put Batman on the blog page, when we are doing a western theme?". Well, after giving you a sharp slap to the forehead, I would say "let me explain myself". The reason why I have posted a clip from Batman is because of one The Batman animated TV show had a fantastic simple, blockey style. To me it stands out with lots of character. This clip in particular shows off such environments. Simple and punchy is what I, personally, am after in this project.

Mining Village Concept

Here's a concept that I drew for the mining village. Here I have drawn the entrance to the mine embedded into a deep canyon. I decided to have the idead that the actual village is build into the rockface, rather than have it built on the ground as I thought it was more interesting. I thought that the poeple who lived near the mine would leave the groung level for the workiers and live above the labour on the rocks.

And another thing!

With Neil's post about bridges I thought about Goron City, from Zelda Ocarina of Time. The central part of the city has crossing ropes and is very sunbaked!

Possible Thought

With what Josh mentioned about the level in Oddworld, I got to thinking about smoggy, desolate areas. What came into my mind was the story about a mining village called Centralia which had to be evacuated. This town was the inspiration for the game Silent Hill. If you watch the documentary you will see pipes sticking out of the road...I quite like this idea.
Here's a sketch of a mountain side with a railway and a few abandonned buildings next to it!

Red Dead Revolver

Here's another scene from Red Dead Revolver. It's of a classic shoot out in an abandoned town!

Red Dead Revolver

Heres a mountainous scene from Red Dead Revolver... I thought it would be of some use!

Thinking of a wild west mining theme, my mind turned to Big Thunder Mountain at Disneyland. I like the interesting shape of the mountain and the eclectic placement of the huts and machinery around the area!

Friday, 17 October 2008

Heres' a quick sketch of a windmill, the perspective is a bit messed up!

Here's a quick background design, it's of a badlands style mountain scene.

The one where GMA gets my goat

Our president has gone bonkers. At the height of her unpopularity, with protest rallies and mobs from both administration and opposition uniting, all calling for her head, what does she persist in doing?

She's allowed the raising of Value Added Tax to 10%. Suddenly, diesel prices per liter are past P30, and gasoline per liter is close to P34. We can expect food prices to rise sharply, along with utilities like water, electricity, and public transportation.

It's only a matter of time now. *sigh* I've been proven wrong many times before, and I hope that this is another one of those times, but even I want President Arroyo out.

Which impression should be combined to a Super Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS register next? That’s a doubt Nintendo acted to fans yesterday when it launched a new voting portal. Microsoft’s Xbox trainer Phil Spencer has now weighed in, observant he’d like to see Banjo a sugar bear from Rare’s iconic platformer series.

Not usually does Spencer consider it “would be cool” if Banjo was combined to a lineup, nonetheless Microsoft and Nintendo have worked together before, so it’s doubtful there would be chartering issues.

Twitter user Ray Styles has already put together a image Smash Bros. print for Banjo (and Kazooie). Spencer didn’t contend if he’d also wish Kazooie to seem in a new Smash Bros. game. The dual characters have vastly opposite attributes, after all.

Nintendo’s Smash Bros. impression voting check closes in Oct 2015, so–even if Banjo does make it into a game–you won’t get to play a impression for utterly a while.

New DLC characters are entrance to Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS most sooner, however. During this week’s Nintendo Direct broadcast, a association announced that Mewtwo will be accessible starting Apr 15. Beyond that, Nintendo will recover another new character–Lucas–in June, nonetheless pricing has not nonetheless been announced.

Suzaku Castle

Home stage to Ryu

Suzaku Castle (朱雀城, Sujakujō) is a downloadable stage introduced in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U, in a bundle that also contains Ryu. It is based on Ryu's stage in Street Fighter II.

The stage takes place on the rooftop of a shiro (japanese castle), at sunset. It has four platforms; the two to the right have walkoffs, while the left side has one small platform above another small platform; the thinner platforms are fall-through while the thicker is solid. There are small signs that can be broken when hitting opponents next to them, but they do not have any influence on gameplay.

If the current music playing is Ryu Stage Type A or B, or Ken Stage Type A or B, a sped-up version of the respective song will play under the following circumstances: timer reaches 30 seconds in a timed match; the last opponent has one stock left in a stock match; when the last opponent's HP is under 100 in a stamina match; during Sudden Death. This references Street Fighter II, where the stage music speeds up when a fighter loses half of their health.

The stage is based on Ryu's "Japan" stage in Street Fighter II, including the wooden platforms, destructible signs, edge of the rooftop, sunset, and large castle in the background. The castle later reappeared as part of Ryu's stage in Street Fighter III: Third Strike. The orange sunset seen in the background mirror the original form of Suzaku Castle seen in the first CPS-1 based version of Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. The sky was recolored blue and set at night in later versions.

The signposts dotted around the stage were indeed a part of the original Suzaku Castle stage in Street Fighter II: The World Warrior, but were removed in later revisions. They were later put back in the stage in Hyper Street Fighter II. The signs bear the Japanese kanji "Fūrinkazan" (風林火山?), meaning "Wind, Forest, Fire and Mountain". This set of kanji are feudal Japanese war tenets based on phrases spoken by the famous Japanese war strategist Sun Tzu: "Be swift as the wind, still as a forest, fierce as fire, immovable as a mountain." These kanji can also be seen sewn into Ryu's belt.

The signs break when fighters are attacked near them, mirroring the original game where they would break when characters come into contact with them via either attacks or throws.

If the current song playing is "Ryu Type A", the match's time limit goes down to its last minute or the last of an opponent's stock goes down to one, a dramatic "pinch" version of the song plays. This references the original Street Fighter II in which the dramatic "pinch" version of a stage theme would play when a fighter was down to half of their life meter and/or was in danger of losing the match entirely.

According to supplementary materials and sources, the castle is Ryu's home and dojo, which is also said to have belonged to Gouken, his master. It is said to stem from the Sengoku period of Japan, and is seemingly abandoned, with very few people other than locals knowing where it is located. The fighting portion of the stage is infact a constructed platform made specifically for the Second World Warrior Tournament.

  • This is the only stage that has interactive objects (the signs) in an Omega Stage, although this is used for aesthetic purposes.

Dallas Morning News

Krishnas encourage disclosing abuse in sect's schools
But some critics suspicious of leaders' motives, willingness to change

10/20/98 By Jeffrey Weiss / The Dallas Morning News

The stories of abuse are numbingly familiar: religious leaders beating, raping and torturing children in their charge. What's more unusual is where the stories appear: the official journal of the faith whose leaders committed the abuse.

The ISKCON Communications Journal is published by the International Society of Krishna Consciousness, popularly known as the Hare Krishnas. The current issue describes in graphic detail life at Krishna boarding schools - the first school was in Dallas - during the 1970s and 1980s.

Krishna leaders say the public airing of this dirtiest of laundry is part of a concerted effort to accept responsibility and do what they can to redress the old wrongs.

"Child abuse thrives in secrecy," said Anuttama Dasa, the Krishnas' director of North American Communications. "We are trying to do the right thing and bring this out into the open."

Some who were abused are suspicious of the overtures. Maya Charnell is the co-founder of VOICE, an Internet news board for former Krishna students. She spent two years in the Dallas school in the 1970s and remembers senseless beatings and other abuse there and in other schools.

Some who suffered say that the fundamental beliefs of the Krishnas have not changed. "After years and years and years of distrust and programmed servitude, it's kind of difficult to trust that they are doing this for the good of the children," she said in an interview.

Motives aside, the Krishna openness is far from average for religious institutions, said the Rev. Thomas Economus, a Roman Catholic priest who heads a national network of clergy-abuse victims. He tracks cases such as the Dallas scandal involving former Catholic priest Rudolph "Rudy" Kos.

That case ended with Mr. Kos in prison for child abuse. The diocese and its insurers will pay $30.9 million to the victims, negotiated down from the $119 million awarded by a Dallas jury.

"What they've done is very rare," Mr. Economus said of the Krishnas. "The norm is to close the victims down, circle the wagons and give out no information whatsoever."

Some Krishna leaders are worried about getting sued as a result of their openness, Mr.Dasa said.

"There have been concerns voiced about the legal implications," he said. "But there is a consensus that we need to take the higher ethical ground."

The International Society of Krishna Consciousness is a Hindu sect brought to America in the 1960s by A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami.

At first, most converts wore saffron monk's robes and became notorious for their public chanting and aggressive demands for donations. Leaders emphasized the need to do missionary work and sell Krishna books.

Families were viewed as an impediment to spiritual growth and Krishna work, so parents were told to send children to boarding schools and to have little contact with them, according to the ISKCON article, written by E. Burke Rochford Jr., a sociologist of religion at Middlebury College in Vermont.

About 2,000 children - some as young as 3 - were sent to the poorly financed, overcrowded schools in the United States and India. Many of the teachers and supervisors had little training.

The first school opened in Dallas in 1971. Ms. Charnell was 4 years old when she was sent there from Canada. Well into adulthood, she said, she was plagued by nightmares of being beaten and walking past a line of children awaiting beatings.

The VOICE Web site (http://www.ccrgroup.com/voice/) offers firsthand accounts of abuse from the '70s and '80s. Several stories are about life in the Dallas school: "A teacher took me in the boys' shower room, stripped off my clothes and beat me until I was unconscious." "I remember his wife locking me in a dark closet standing on a milk crate with the warning that if I got off the crate, the giant rats would eat my feet." "I still remember what the floor in Dallas tasted like." Underfed students described cockroaches as "flying dates." The Dallas boarding school closed in 1976, not because of abuse but because the building did not meet state codes.

Most other boarding schools closed by the mid-'80s as the direction and leadership of the Krishnas changed. Most members were married and not interested in demanding donations from strangers or separating from their children. Krishna officials and even many students say they were unaware of the widespread abuse at the time.

Manu Dasa (no relation to Anuttama; "Dasa" is a common last name for Krishna men) was a student in several schools but was generally unaware of abuse. Only after he formed an alumni newsletter and youth ministry did he begin to understand what had happened to some of his classmates.

In 1996, he brought 10 former students to tell their stories at a meeting of the Krishnas' North American leadership. An hour later, the room was filled with crying men.On the spot, the Krishna leaders pledged $100,000 of their own money, which was used to create Children of Krishna, a nonprofit group separate from the Krishna formal organization and dedicated to helping the victims of abuse.

The formal organization created a new child-abuse program this year. Headed by a social worker, it is working to find former students, offer counseling and other assistance, investigate cases of abuse - about 70 are active - and develop prevention programs.

Progress has not been smooth. A leader of a previous child-abuse program the Krishna formal organization set up in 1990 was expelled from the movement this year after three young men said he had fondled them years earlier.

But local leaders now understand that abuse cannot be tolerated, said Yudhisthira Dasa, president of the Dallas temple, which oversees a day school. Teachers are accredited. Parents and students - there are 15 kindergarten through eighth grade - are taught how to recognize and report abuse.

On the national level, Krishna leaders say much the same. Future journals will have more articles about abuse and its aftermath. This year, the international child-abuse section has a budget of $170,000. That will continue, leaders say.

"It is not enough," said Ms. Charnell of VOICE. "It's a potential start. But they have to realize that they have now opened themselves up to public investigation and can't control what will happen."

The public airing is necessary, Anuttama Dasa acknowledged. Even though the past abuse was sometimes done in the name of Krishna, that was a perversion of ISKCON's beliefs, he said.

One of the faith's sacred texts is the Srimadbhagavatma, the story of a boy abused by his evil father. The boy was boiled in oil, thrown off a cliff and beaten. But at every turn, God intervened to save the saintly child from his evil father. Finally, God incarnated on Earth to kill the father as punishment for the abuse. "The message," Mr. Dasa said, "is pretty clear."
