This conversation is possible because both participants are deeply familiar with the works. The classics serve as a touchstone both can use to have a deeper discussion about human nature. In the meta the writers of the show also assume the audience has that same touchstone. That they know Macbeth is referring to life as an idiots tale because everything he held dearly is lost, a time of hurt and hopelessness and in that state has fallen to nihilism. The writers expect the viewer to know that Hamlet views life as ridiculous, and so would know any serious conviction about life he makes would be tinged with irony. But what if your audience doesn’t have that touchstone? What if the education system has purposefully cut out the “dead old white men?” I keep thinking of something TS Eliot said about Americans; we are well read, but it would be better if we had read fewer books that were the same.

Still desperately struggling to understand how Jay Kay could have dumped this woman because her breasts were too big and she wanted to have sex too much.

非洲真的很缺水吗?其实“懒”才是他们穷的根本原因。有数据显示,非洲地下水储量是地表的100倍,为何他们不挖井,而是到处找水? 我之前跟着一支海外工程队在那边待了快八个月,亲眼见过太多让人匪夷所思的事,说出来真的好多人都不敢信。我们当时的营地建在一片开阔的草地上,刚过去的时候要解决用水问题,队里找了个测水的师傅随便找了个地方打井,打到不到十二米就出了清水,水质甜得很,除了供我们队四十多个人吃喝洗澡,还能引出一垄水浇我们开出来的小菜园,天天浇水都用不完。 而离我们营地不到两公里的地方,就有一个百十来口人的部落村子,我第一次跟着采购去村里的时候,就看见全村人都围着一个半米深的泥坑接水,那水浑得放半小时都澄清不了,水面上还飘着虫子和牲畜的粪便,小孩渴了蹲下来直接舀了就喝,大人也不管,不少小孩隔三差五就拉肚子,缺药耽误着能拖出大病,看着真的让人心疼。我当时就问翻译,咱们这边打井出了这么多水,他们咋不来打一口?翻译笑笑说,你往后看就知道了,不是水的事。 没过多久工程闲下来,队长说反正咱们设备人都有,不如免费帮他们打一口井,也算做件好事,结果第一步就卡壳了。村长带着一群人堵在我们选好的井址,说这块地是他们部落的公用土地,要打井就得给他们十袋面粉五桶食用油外加两箱汽水,不然别想动土。我们队里想着反正也不多,给就给了,就当换一口井给村里人用,这点东西对我们来说不算什么。 接下来要找几个当地人帮忙打下手搬东西,我们说好一天给一斤玉米面两瓶汽水,这个待遇在当地已经够一个三口之家吃饱喝足了,比他们自己瞎晃赚得多太多,结果来了五个人,干了不到四十分钟,全都撂挑子坐到树底下乘凉去了,说太阳太晒,会晒伤皮肤,祖宗规矩就是正午不能干活,要等太阳落山再干活。我们想着入乡随俗那就等,结果太阳落山之后,连个人影都没见着,第二天上午好不容易来了三个,还要求必须先给汽水玉米面,不给就不动手,我们给了之后,三个人晃悠着挖了不到半米,又坐下来歇着聊天了,一聊就是一上午,第三天干脆全都不来了,托人带话来说拿到的吃的够喝够吃好几天,先回家休息,吃完了再来。 最后没办法,我们工程队自己上手,不到十天就打出了一口出水稳定的井,还给他们在井口安了简易的提水架,放了两个大木桶,跟村长说以后大家随便来打水,只要别往井里扔垃圾就行。一开始村里人可开心了,天天排着队来打水,结果半个月不到,井口就堵了,我们过去一看,大大小小的树枝石头烂叶子堵了小半井,原来大家打完水垃圾随手就扔在井口边上,下雨一冲全进去了。我们免费帮他们清干净,反复跟村长和村民说不要扔垃圾,要保持井口干净,结果不到两个月,又堵了,之后村长干脆来找我们,说井坏了,你们再帮我们打一口新的吧,那语气说得理所当然,好像我们就该天天给他们收拾烂摊子。 我之前还碰到过一次,营地的围墙坏了一段,找了四个当地工人来修,说好一天干完给对应的工钱,结果四个工人八点开工,九点就歇着喝茶,十点吃早饭,十二点要睡午觉,睡到下午三点才起来,干了不到一小时又说要回家喂孩子,一天下来只码了不到五块砖,第二天还过来要全额工钱,说我们没给他们提供茶和饼,所以干得慢,钱不能少给,当时给我们队长气得直接把他们赶走了。 待得久了我才发现,这种事真的不是个例。有个二十多岁的小伙子天天来我们营地卖野果,我们看他挺活络,就说你干脆天天给我们营地送菜,我们一个月给你固定的工钱,比你卖野果稳定多了,结果他干了三天,第四天就不见了,过了一周晃悠过来,问他为啥不来,他说前三天赚的钱够花了,在家歇着花完了再来。还有国际援助组织免费给他们发蔬菜种子,教他们开荒种地,说种好了够全村吃大半年,结果一半种子被他们煮着吃了,剩下的随便往地里一撒,既不浇水也不除草,长不出来就接着等着发援助。 真的,很多人说非洲穷是因为气候不好历史遗留问题,可我们明明看到脚底下十几米就是清水,储量够整个村子用几十年,有人免费帮你打出来,就只要随手维护一下都做不到。他们不是没有力气,跑出去找野果跳篝火舞能折腾一整天,一说到干活赚饭吃,半小时就喊累;也不是没有资源,地下水摆在那,援助摆在那,就是不肯伸手去动。 我待了八个月见过好多口废弃的援助井,全都是打完没两年没人维护废了,当地人宁愿背着水桶走三四公里去接脏雨水,也不肯花半天时间清一清堵了的井口。你说这到底是延续了几千年的靠天吃饭的生活方式已经刻进骨子里改不了,还是真的就是“懒”才导致一直摆脱不了穷呢?你怎么看这件事?

“Translated from Russian” is what really makes this
Если ты бьёшь жену каждый день, то у неё будет одно требование: «Пожалуйста, не бей меня». Если ты не бьёшь свою жену, то у неё появляется целый список требований.

Ninety years ago, Britain was top nation. Its population was ~99% white British; today it is 74%. By the 2060s, we will likely be a minority. I interviewed those who grew up in Britain’s heyday and witnessed its decline and demographic transformation. Watch the full film below.

While it lacks the "sex appeal" of nons rioting & burning down beautiful new schools, the biggest news in France has been the financial headlines. France is bankrupt, with annual interest on the national debt being 3X greater than the real growth in GDP. No way out. 1/
