A very quick overview of the Rags to Riches Plot (the first of the seven basic plots). I'll be posting some of these short snippets here just for fun (since I figured out how to do it)
I suspect that what you think you want - and what you REALLY want are two different things. ——————————- Αἰτεῖτε, καὶ δοθήσεται ὑμῖν· Ask, it will be given to you… —————————- ζητεῖτε, καὶ εὑρήσετε· Seek, you will find… ————————— κρούετε, καὶ ἀνοιγήσεται ὑμῖν…
Are there ONLY 7 plots? Not exactly: but there are seven very prominent patterns that quite often repeat and reiterate over the years. (This is a little clip from one of my story lectures)
Story is embedded in almost everything we do
What makes a work of art have “excess of meaning”? Certain works transcend the times in which they are written, and become forever “timely.”
One teacher puts it this way: 1. How your life goes is *not* entirely dependent on whether or not you are lucky, therefore you have agency 2. Even if 1 is false, it is necessary that you believe it is true - because - 3. If you believe that you are helpless, then,…
A movie character who has figured out how to “jump” movies, and he has the foresight to know that one thing you always wonder why the main character doesn’t do right in the beginning of the film, the thing that would avoid all the trouble in the first place. So you are watching…
Apparently Niels Bohr, the Nobel prize winning physicist, had a horseshoe above his door, which is thought to bring good luck or keep evil spirits away or something like that. When someone asked whether or not he believed in that, he said, “no of course not, I’m a scientist.”…
Fruit, seeds, growth, death and spiritual death are all bound up together somehow. - Adam “sleeps” (tardêmâh) and then Eve grows out of his side (many have pointed out that tardêmâh is a mini, prelapsarian version of death just as your nightly sleep is a version of death and…
The bane of my existence: the ubiquitous speaker mounted to the wall, even *outside* of the establishment- I’m always baffled thinking about the planning and the money and the effort to work a speaker into every nook and cranny of these spaces. The drilling and the mounting and…
This is an excellent, excellent conversation
Martin Shaw tells the story of the one woman in a tribe in what is now New Mexico, who was the most desired by all the men in the village. But she paid little attention to them, focusing exclusively on her weaving. The Coyote heard about this, transformed himself into a man,…

@Onejwells Hm. Just yesterday I read an essay on the ancient indian treatise on drama that argued about something similar
@Onejwells “Time” “relevance” and “generation” hit so much harder these days.
@Onejwells When the work reflects something in the world and not just reflecting what is in the artist’s mind. Art should be something more than even the artist understands.
@Onejwells Sarah Churchwell argued that The Great Gatsby was too “ripped from the headlines” of the jazz age for Fitzgerald’s readers to see the book’s great themes.
Man I'm so excited about that new Pageau album, got the title now, wrote the 10th song today, working on diversifying it and getting closer to the concept for the first third, which is a bit tricky, esp the intro. When I'm done recording instruments I'll get to recording choirs.
@Onejwells @PaulVanderKlay It’s the “Of course not, I’m a scientist” that implies a scientistic understanding of the universe, as if all of Reality can be explained by and reduced to the scientific explanation. What of love? Sacrifice? Poetry? Yet his actions reveal he is hedging his bets. This one is…

@Onejwells @MarkALefebvre1 @richardrohlin SUPER IMPORTANT! Please share with all false heroes ascending a fake hierarchy!
Could you spend a week or two on the Amalfi Coast 🇮🇹 Yes/No?
@Onejwells I missed this when it first came through! OK, let me send you another round with some blends of the Ethiopia and the Honduras next. Should be to you within a week.
Hermit in the Colosseum by the painter Hubert Robert, painted in 1790.
@Onejwells Great reflections about Adam/Eve, growth, death and rebirth.
