This is but one truth of many, as I wrote about in my review of the first three episodes. Of course, we don’t know exactly what transpired. ![]()

![]() ![]() What is true of painters is true also of poets and dramatists we agree that they paint pictures in words, "creating" what we call images. Only the Forms are real the bed is a copy of the Form of Bed and the painting is a copy of a copy, an image of an image. The truly real bed is the Form of Bed, just as something perceived as being beautiful partakes of the Form of Beauty. But we have all agreed that a bed upon which people repose is not even a real bed. But when a painter paints a picture of a bed, we agree that it is not a real bed: The artist has probably seen a bed that some craftsman built and copied his picture of a bed. Thus, Socrates argues, it follows logically that we might argue an example of something an artist produces we may argue the example of, say, a bed. ![]() Socrates begins by seeking an agreement on definition he posits the idea that artists are said to create things hence, it is commonly held that they are creative artists. Here, Socrates considerably broadens his attack on the visual and dramatic arts. Earlier in the dialogue, Socrates suggested that certain kinds of music and poetry should not be permitted in the curriculum of study for the future rulers of the State because some art did not seem to be morally uplifting, hence perhaps bad for children. ![]() ![]() ![]() The original Star Wars movie is retold in iambic pentameter as if Shakespeare himself penned the tale.

![]() ![]() Psychopaths such as Kevin have zero degrees of affective empathy (they just don't care about someone else's feelings) but have excellent cognitive empathy (able to worm their way into someone else's mind by using their ability to figure out what someone else might think, want or feel able to manipulate others through deception). Two major ones are "cognitive" empathy (the capacity to recognise what someone else thinks or feels) and "affective" empathy (the capacity to feel an appropriate emotion in response to someone else's thoughts and feelings). ![]() The science also tells us that empathy is a complex skill, with several components. ![]() ![]() In people who end up as psychopaths, brain regions connected with empathy are under-active. The science confirms that environmental and emotional factors do also play a role in the development of antisocial personality disorder, but teasing apart cause and effect in such hard-to-parent children is a tall order. It hints, disturbingly, at the role of psychological conflict in Kevin's mother, about whether she is trying to love him without truly loving him. And yet, the film (like the science) does not want us to settle too comfortably into the idea that the cause of psychopathic low empathy is purely genetic. ![]() ![]() ![]() In this heart-pounding sequel to Unraveling, author Elizabeth Norris explores the sacrifices we make to save the people we love and the worlds we'll travel to find them.

I LOVE that Often ya is fantasy, but not as much science. One thing I love about this 2-book series is that it is SO science-fiction-y. Somebody from an alternate universe is kidnapping people and selling them on different Earths.
