the big dog in the vehicle space is more likely QNX, which is still up to date.

well thank you for teaching me a new word!

i personally go with the most charitable interpretation, trying to figure out what people mean rather than assuming that the text as written, no matter how incongruous to the rest of their argument so far, is exactly what they meant. but you do you.

we both know that's not what i was referring to. i'm talking things like intellectual properly rights. also, there are plenty of subjectively judged sports.

But in general? Yah, it is.

one major criticism of the monomyth theory is that it relies, perhaps subconsciously, on confirmation bias. many classic works that have been called monomyth-conforming only fit that mold when you ignore stuff that doesn't fit, stuff that in some cases completely change the context of the other beats.

folklorist Barre Toelken, in an essay from 1996, wrote

Campbell could construct a monomyth of the hero only by citing those stories that fit his preconceived mold, and leaving out equally valid stories… which did not fit the pattern

I wonder why people don't make the same argument for sports players.

surely you must see how nonsense this sentence is.

people make to same argument for other creative arts all the time. books, music, painting. programming, even.

also, that thing where "everything is the hero's journey" is based on skewed data. it's not actually that prevalent.

no the tech was very much the focus at the time. they did some incredible stuff for that film.
