Ooooooooh. Damn. We’re never getting Shang-Chi 2.

Different studios. But yeah, we need Shang-Chi 2.

Look at the sentence you wrote. Since the Korean War. And the Korean War was the biggest since the one before that.

Turn the news off and look at the data. It’s important to end these conflicts, but in terms of scale, these are far smaller than the past.

Here’s homicides per capita in Western Europe. I highly recommend reading The Better Angels of Our Nature by Steven Pinker. It goes into this in depth.

Violence has been going down for centuries. We’re hearing about it more, but it’s declining. It peaked around 1993, and it’s been trending downward ever since.

If you zoom out and look at super long term trends, it’s been declining for centuries.

Misery 2

I was hoping this teaser would show the wolf man and it would be way different than what we saw before. That, mixed with the fact that it’s being released in January, makes me think it’s going to be bad.

I’ve been excited about this movie since The Invisible man. I see one image, and suddenly I’m not excited at all.

This is how I feel too. Studies show that 30% of gym goers are on steroids as well. So keep at it and don’t feel bad that you’re not at the top.
