> to tune out the corruption angle once the war started

Oh man, wait until you hear about what’s going on in the US, we’re experiencing corruption to a degree you can’t even imagine.

I’m not sure what you wanted them to do, that they didn’t do.

> The pills originally come from Lewis Carroll, where Alice could change size by taking them.

Wasn’t it a cake labeled “EAT ME” and a drink labeled “DRINK ME” in Alice in Wonderland? I don’t recall them being pills at all.

The famous song White Rabbit by Jefferson Airplane uses an extended metaphor based on Alice In Wonderland, and has the lyrics:

> One pill makes you larger > And one pill makes you small > And the ones that mother gives you > Don't do anything at all > Go ask Alice > When she's ten feet tall

I've never read the Alice in Wonderland book, but the Disney adaptation of it from the 50s had cake and a drink I recall, and no pills.

I agree about Jefferson Airplane, but the person I was responding to claimed the pills came from Lewis Carroll.

> Chuck Pahlaniuk then? He devised it.

He devised it, but Chuck was pretty clear—Tyler Durden wasn’t the good guy. So don’t take what he said as an endorsement by Pahlaniuk.

Media literacy is dead. At least among conservatives.

Is it that it’s dead, or that it never existed?

> Not everything can be owned by conservative leaning billionaires.

Well, it can be, that’s the problem :-(. But it would really, really suck.

> Let's not pretend that James "Avatar" Cameron is deep.

It’s not, but it’s also now 3 films in 16 years. That’s not a lot.
