If you’re a fan of ‘Watership Down’ then I hope you’ll find this film very interesting. It’s the 50th anniversary of the first publication of ‘Watership Down’ in November 2022 so I’m sharing this documentary that I filmed with Richard Adams ten years ago. In a series of interviews Richard talks about his life and times, revealing his passions, influences and experiences that led him to write his famous novel. Happy viewing, thanks Stuart.

Where the interviewee says that the vision many of the scientists interviewed for ‘2001’ seemed to have is that a god-like entity will emerge from the intelligent beings evolving in the universe. It won’t be a God that created the universe, but a God that takes control of the universe.
Which is more or less exactly how Gary North interprets the materialistic-evolutionary mindset: Out of chaos came order (despite entropy) and as soon as intelligence emerged, it ‘legitimately’ starts ‘guiding’ and ‘controlling’ evolution to serve its purposes.
No different from the ‘might makes right’ attitude actually.
Touchstone talk by Jonathan Pageau. Video here (prompted at the right place).
From the video description:
I explore how our modern world—built on endless disruption and self-expression—has reached its breaking point. We’re witnessing the collapse of a culture that forgot its source, but that’s also at the beginnings of renewal. From art and architecture to worship and storytelling, I share how Christians can remember, celebrate, and create once again—recovering beauty, meaning, and participation in the divine order. This is a moment of opportunity: to rediscover Christ as the pattern of reality and rebuild culture on that foundation.

Interview (Youtube) with Eric Metaxas.
Contains a nugget about how Lewis got the idea to write the Screwtape Letters. (Hint: Something to do with Hitler.)
And then this exchange: “Who in the 20th century comes close to Tolkien and Lewis when writing about the nature of evil?” “Maybe Orwell.”
I’d never heard of this artist (Briton Rivière) before, I’ve never seen this picture before (Daniel in the Lions’ Den).
There’s a video about it titled: ‘This Painting Is an Absolute Masterpiece’
It really is brilliant!
Interesting that it was particularly popular in Victorian times.

Jordan Peterson interprets the Grimm’s fairy tale Hansel and Gretel. (53 minute video.)
Presentation by Jordan Peterson.
From the video description:
Dr. Jordan Peterson offers a psychological and cultural analysis of the Grimm Brothers’ Snow White, using it as a lens to explore evolutionary biology, female status hierarchies, fertility suppression, and the pathology of the “evil queen” archetype. Drawing on research in primatology and cultural commentary, Peterson connects ancient folklore to modern dynamics—critiquing contemporary feminist ideologies, careerism, and generational envy, while upholding the redemptive power of masculine responsibility in narrative tradition (and real life). Part myth, part science, part cultural autopsy—this is the synthesis of one of Peterson’s most impactful tenants: stories matter, and fundamental stories reiterate across time.
