In 1960, screenwriter Richard Matheson created an embellishment of the short story that "drips with brooding evil and sinister suspense."

If you can just consider two versions of the tale. Which to believe is the better rendition? Has the film created more interest and suspense or destroyed a classic original? Would you differently if you had view the story first, thus eliminating the element of dramatic irony as you watch the 1960 version?

I wanted to pre-order the last book and I wanted to know if I would receive it on the day it's released. I have a books-a-million membership but I think I'm going to buy it from barnes and noble or amazon. I looked all over the site and they just say it will be shipped on the day it's released but I want to know if I'll get it that day or have to wait until the next day which will probably be on a monday.

Back in the Renaissance, people whose studies had taken them to the highest level (PhD level now) were called "Doctors," whether it be a doctor of medicine, doctor of law, doctor of philosophy, etc. During the Victorian era, people with the same level of education were called "Philosophers," ie, philosopher of chemistry, philosopher of biology, philosopher of classics. How did it work out that now when someone says doctor, they immediately think "doctor of medicine," and when someone hears "philosopher," they immediately think just that- a philosopher such as Socrates? Is it just the normal evolution of language? Did most people just tend to have more contacts with doctors of medicine than any others, and just automatically associated "doctor" with someone who treats illnesses and wounds? How did anyone who went the whole nine yards become known as PhDs (doctorate of philosophy), regardless of their area of expertise?

If you had the opportunity to go into a pleasure/experience machine that gave you everything in your life that you desired simple by plugging your brain into a machine would you do it? You can program the machine to give you all the things in life that you want, and you will never ever know that you are plugged in. It will feel as if you are really truly living your life. But, you are guaranteed to get everything that you want (if you want to write a novel, you can do it and succeed, or be a doctor, or a black belt martial artist, be married, have children etc). The catch is that you will never come out of it, and live that way forever. You will never know you are plugged in once you are, but you still will be. But you are guaranteed to have a fabulous life. Would you do it?

If Antiochus had not been such an intolerant *sshole who was determined to oppress the Jews, maybe Judaism would have accommodated itself to the Hellenistic worldview. Sober rational Greek thinking would have replaced the mysticism and superstition which gave rise to the absurdities of Christianity which after Constantine came to dominate the world for two thousand years.

But Antiochus had no idea of separation of church and state. His attitude was - my way or the highway. He forced the Jews into a defensive position from which grew centuries of living outside the mainstream and suffering endless persecution.

Imagine instead a productive merging of Judaism with Hellenism, with the outcome being a flowering of thought with universalism, not separatism, and not domination, at its root. Then when Rome was finally brought to order by Vespasian, you can imagine a golden age of tolerance and exploration of diverse ideas. This might then have given us a happier world today.
