I can't stop thinking about the scene where Leonidas wishes Ephialtes a long life, and Ephialtes reacts with despair. Viewers often interpret Leonidas's words as an insult. It was not; he meant them genuinely; he was recognizing Ephialtes as a man. What commenters miss is the confusion that briefly flashes on Leonidas's face after he sees Ephialtes's reaction. This creates a completely different interpretation. Leonidas was not insulting Ephialtes. His confusion shows that he thought of Ephialtes's actions as instrumental, for personal gain. But the true cause of Ephialtes's betrayal--his resentment--is something he cannot relate to. It is beyond his comprehension. Ephialtes was offered a role with the Spartan army. Tending to the wounded. Helping with supplies. But because he physically cannot participate as an equal within the Spartan ranks and is therefore refused that role, he rebels. But his rebellion is not against Leonidas. It is a rebellion against reality itself. It is a rebellion against the gods. Ephialtes was demanding a recognition that was physically impossible, given the sort of being that he was. And in response, he decides to betray and destroy everything that is good. Leonidas cannot comprehend that. It is so outside of his moral frame that it is the one thing about the unfolding events that he never understands before his death. It shows the purity of Leonidas's heart, the nobility that he takes with him to his death. This film is mythic. It is deeper than most people appreciate. When it was released, it was widely hated by liberal reviewers. The reasons for this are obvious. They are Ephialtes.

June 15, 2021 Employee at hardware store assaults a customer for not wearing a mask. These acts of violence were caused by the hysteria created by our institutions, which rejected science. There isn't any evidence that masks have more than a tiny impact on COVID transmission.

CNN Town Hall Question: How do you change the mistrust in the system among some members of the black community? Joe Biden: You got the vaccination? Are you okay? I mean, you seem… no, it works. Or you, you know... or the mom and dad, or the neighbor, or when you go to church, or when you’re... no, I really mean it. There are trusted interlocutors. Think of the people... if your kid wanted to find out whether or not there were... there’s a man on the moon, or whatever... you know, something, or, you know, whether those aliens are here or not... you know, who are the people they talk to beyond the kids who love talking about it?

Today on CNN, after devastating study citations from the interviewer showing that masks don't work, Fauci responded: "but masks work on an individual level". But this is nonsense. Here's why. To do science on masks, you have a masked group and an unmasked group. You compare the rate of infection in each group. This is called a randomized trial. This is how science is done. If the rate of infection is the same, then masks don't work. This was what the studies on masks showed. No difference. Now, there is simply no such thing as scientific studies showing that "masks work at the individual level". Fauci either doesn't understand how science works or he is lying and making things up. It really is that simple. Fauci is saying gobbledygook in order to keep the idea of masks alive. It's incredibly shameful for Fauci to abuse science in this way. But it's par for the course in the way he has communicated science throughout the entire pandemic. Sad.
