ellauri055.html on line 78: Les deux hommes ont quinze ans de différence. Stefan Zweig s'intéresse aux lettres européennes et il a déjà traduit quelques œuvres d'auteurs anglais, français et belges. La découverte en 1907 des premiers volumes de Jean-Christophe sera décisive dans sa rencontre avec l'auteur. Il est séduit par la portée universelle de l’œuvre de Romain Rolland et plus encore par l’homme auquel il rend visite, pour la première fois en février 1911, dans son appartement du 162, boulevard du Montparnasse. Les deux hommes partagent un amour pour la musique, une même foi en l'humanité et le sentiment d'appartenir à une civilisation, une culture commune, dont Romain Rolland esquisse les contours dans « la chevauchée européenne de Jean-Christophe ». Les deux écrivains entretiendront une correspondance suivie et intense entre 1910 et 1940 : 945 lettres ont été retrouvées (509 de Stefan Zweig dont une centaine en allemand, et 436 pour Romain Rolland). Cette correspondance est d'une importance capitale pour l'histoire des intellectuels du début du XXe siècle.

One interpretation could be a sign of Swift's liberal views on race, or one could regard Gulliver's preference (and his immediate division of Houyhnhnms into color-based hierarchies) as absurd and the sign of his self-deception. It is now generally accepted that the story involving the Houyhnhnms embody a wholly pessimistic view of the place of man and the meaning of his existence in the universe. In a modern context the story might be seen as presenting an early example of animal rights concerns, especially in Gulliver's account of how horses are cruelly treated in his society and the reversal of roles. The story is a possible inspiration for Pierre Boulle's novel Planet of the Apes.

ellauri112.html on line 184: »Ajassa» on kerran ennen (vuosikerrassa 1911) tarkastettu muutamia Bergsonin filosofialle ominaisia, alkuperäisiä piirteitä. Tällä kertaa on tarkoitus kiinnittää huomiota niihin huomattaviin yhtäläisyyksiin, joita kaikesta huolimatta on olemassa Bergsonin ja hänen edeltäjänsä Renanin ajatustavan välillä. On pidetty Bergsonin filosofian huomattavimpana piirteenä sitä merkitystä, minkä hän antaa ajan realiteetille. On sanottu, että kun filosofia yleensä pyrkii katsomaan todellisuutta »iäisyyden näkökannalta», on sensijaan bergsonilaisuudelle ominaista »ajallisuuden näkökanta». »Aika» on tämän filosofian mukaan luova tekijä todellisuudessa, ei pelkkä subjektiivinen havainnonmuoto. Aika luo, todellisesti synnyttää uutta, samoinkuin sen hammas jäytää esineitä. »L'univers dure». Maailmankaikkeus on historiallinen ilmiö. Aivan yhtä syvästi on Renan vakuutettu ajan merkityksestä. »Aika näyttää minusta yhä enemmän olevan le facteur universel, la grand coefficient de l'eternal devenir» (Dialogues philosophiques, s. 155). 19. vuosisadan luonteenomainen piirre on Renanin mukaan, että dogmaatisen metodin sijaan on asetettu historiallinen metodi, kaikissa ihmishenkeä käsittelevissä tieteissä. »La catégorie du devenir» on asetettu »la catégorie de l'être'n» sijaan. Ennen puhuttiin uskonnosta, oikeudesta, jne. jonakin kerta kaikkiaan olemassaolevana, nykyään kaikki tuo käsitetään joksikin, joka paraikaa kehittyy. Kullakin tieteellä on tarkastettavanaan katkelma tätä ikuisen syntymisen vyyhteä. »Historia» sanan ahtaammassa merkityksessä on tässä suhteessa nuorin tieteistä; se käsittelee viimeistä myöhäisintä kautta tässä kehitysjaksossa. Filologia ja vertaileva mytologia valaisevat jo varhaisempaa kautta. Ihminen puhui ja loi myyttejä ennenkuin hän jätti jälkeensä kirjallisia muistomerkkejä. Ja näiden tieteiden takana alkavat paleontologian ja luonnonhistorian äärettömät taivaanrannat sarastaa. »Minä puolestani olen aina ajatellut, että lajien synnyn salaisuus piilee morfologiassa (kasvien ja eläinten muoto-opissa), että eläinmuodot ovat hieroglyyfikieli, jonka avain puuttuu meiltä, ja että koko menneisyyden selitys piilee niissä tosiseikoissa, jotka ovat meidän silmäimme edessä, mutta joita emme osaa lukea.» Mutta historiallisia dokumentteja eivät ole ainoastaan elolliset muodot; tähtisumuilla, linnunradalla on sama arvo. On tuleva aika, jolloin luonnontieteetkin muuttuvat historiallisiksi. »Muistelmissaan» valittaa Renan eräässä kohden sitä, että hän joutui harrastamaan historiallisia tieteitä, »noita vähäisiä arveluun perustuvia tieteitä, joista sadan vuoden perästä ei välitetä». Renan uskoo että jos hän olisi antautunut luonnontieteisiin, olisi hän johtunut useampiin Darwinin tuloksista, jotka hän väittää 1845:n tienoissa edeltäpäin aavistaneensa. Tätä valitusta ei tarvitse ottaa kovin vakavasti, sillä monista muista lausunnoista käy ilmi, että Renanin mielestä historiallisilla tieteillä on aivan erikoisen suuri filosofinen arvo.-- Toinen yhtymäkohta Renanin ja Bergsonin välillä on heidän »vitalistinen» käsityksensä kehityksen syistä. Bergson hylkää ajatuksen, että ulkonaiset, »mekaaniset» syyt aiheuttaisivat kehityksen. Elolliset muodot ovat hänen käsityksensä mukaan erään sisäisen sielullisen voiman tuote. Bergson on dualisti. Elottoman aineen rinnalla on maailmassamme vaikuttamassa edelliselle jyrkästi vastakkainen »élan vital», joka yhtenäisenä elämän virtana kuohuu kautta sukupolvien ja yksilöiden. Elottomassakin maailmassa vallitsee määräperäinen liike, mutta se on »putoamista», laskeutumista yhä alemmalle tasolle (entropia); »élan vital» sensijaan on vaivaloista ylöspäin ponnistamista. Elottomassa maailmassa energia hajaantuu ja haihtuu, mutta »élan vital» pyrkii sitä kasaamaan (lehtivihreä ja sen merkitys, orgaaniset yhdistykset).
ellauri119.html on line 387: God is most often held to be incorporeal, with said characteristic being related to conceptions of transcendence or immanence. In religion, transcendence is the aspect of a deity´s nature and power that is wholly independent of the material universe, beyond all known physical laws. This is contrasted with immanence, where a god is said to be fully present in the physical world and thus accessible to creatures in various ways. In religious experience, transcendence is a state of being that has overcome the limitations of physical existence, and by some definitions, has also become independent of it. This is typically manifested in prayer, rituals, meditation, psychedelics and paranormal "visions".
ellauri119.html on line 389: Transcendence can be attributed to the divine not only in its being, but also in its knowledge. Thus, a god may transcend both the universe and knowledge (is beyond the grasp of the human mind).
ellauri119.html on line 391: Although transcendence is defined as the opposite of immanence, the two are not necessarily mutually exclusive. Some theologians and metaphysicians of various religious traditions affirm that a god is both within and beyond the universe (panentheism); in it, but not of it; simultaneously pervading it and surpassing it.
ellauri119.html on line 440: Love encompasses the Islamic view of life as universal brotherhood that applies to all who hold faith. Amongst the 99 names of God (Allah), there is the name Al-Wadud, or "the Loving One," which is found in Surah [Quran 11:90] as well as Surah [Quran 85:14]. God is also referenced at the beginning of every chapter in the Qur'an as Ar-Rahman and Ar-Rahim, or the "Most Compassionate" and the "Most Merciful", indicating that nobody is more loving, compassionate and benevolent than God. The Qur'an refers to God as being "full of loving kindness." The Qur'an exhorts Muslim believers to treat all people, viz. those who have not persecuted them, with birr or "deep kindness" as stated in Surah [Quran 6:8-9]. Birr is also used by the Qur'an in describing the love and kindness that children must show to their parents. Ishq, or divine love, is the emphasis of Sufism in the Islamic tradition. Practitioners of Sufism believe that love is a projection of the essence of God to the universe. God desires to recognize beauty, and as if one looks at a mirror to see oneself, God "looks" at himself within the dynamics of nature. Since everything is a reflection of God, the school of Sufism practices to see the beauty inside the apparently ugly sufist. Sufism is often referred to as the religion of love. God in Sufism is referred to in three main terms, which are the Lover, Loved, and Beloved, with the last of these terms being often seen in Sufi poetry.
ellauri119.html on line 458: Aristotle by contrast placed more emphasis on philia (friendship, affection) than on eros (love); and the dialectic of friendship and love would continue to be played out into and through the Renaissance, with Cicero for the Latins pointing out that "it is love (amor) from which the word 'friendship' (amicitia) is derived" Meanwhile, Lucretius, building on the work of Epicurus, had both praised the role of Venus as "the guiding power of the universe", and criticised those who become "love-sick...life's best years squandered in sloth and debauchery".

Information privacy and user addiction are concerns within the metaverse, stemming from challenges facing the social media and video game industries as a whole.
ellauri146.html on line 686: started with the queerest idea conceivable, viz; that all men are born free and equal-this in the very teeth of the laws of gradation so visibly impressed upon all things both in the moral and physical universe. Every man “voted,” as they called it-that is to say, meddled with public affairs-until, at length, it was discovered that what is everybody’s business is nobody’s, and that the “Republic” (as the absurd thing was called) was without a government at all. It is related, however, that the first circumstance which disturbed, very particularly, the self-complacency of the philosophers who constructed this “Republic,” was the startling discovery that universal suffrage gave opportunity for fraudulent schemes….A little reflection upon this discovery sufficed to render evident the consequences, which were that rascality must predominate— in a word, that a republican government could never be anything but a rascally one. While the philosophers, however, were busied in blushing at their stupidity in not having foreseen these inevitable evils, and intent upon the invention of new theories, the matter was put to an abrupt issue by a fellow of the name of Mob, who took everything into his own hands and set up a despotism…. As for republicanism, no analogy could be found for it upon the face of the earth—unless we except the case of the “prairie dogs,” an exception which seems to demonstrate, if anything, that democracy is a very admirable form of government—for dogs.

But for me the very fact that there is a universe is enough to fill me with awe at creation and in God the Creator. In fact the more we learn about the immensity of space and the variety of celestial objects, the more I am filled with awe and wonder. Part of that is the admiration that we are living in such an advanced society that we are able to make these discoveries in the first place.
ellauri150.html on line 738: I think it is more of a Protestant attribute than a Catholic one to interpret the Bible literally. Catholics have a more complex and mystical interpretation of the Bible. Take for example the Assumption of Mary as well as the Immaculate Conception. These are not tied into physical phenomenon, but are purely spiritual and can only be understood by faith. This is also true of substantiation and the Holy Trinity. Like the universe itself, these are mysteries that the human mind cannot comprehend. (I just checked the Catechism. The section on creation, 337-349, does not give a strict literal interpretation of the six days.)

ellauri158.html on line 387: The term was coined by the German philosopher Karl Krause in 1828 to distinguish the ideas of Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831) and Friedrich Wilhelm Joseph Schelling (1775–1854) about the relation of God and the universe from the supposed pantheism of Baruch Spinoza, after reviewing Hindu scriptures. Unlike pantheism, which holds that the divine and the universe are identical, panentheism maintains an ontological distinction between the divine and the non-divine and the significance of both. In panentheism, the universal spirit is present everywhere, which at the same time "transcends" all things created.
ellauri158.html on line 389: While pantheism asserts that "all is God", panentheism claims that God is greater than the universe. Some versions of panentheism suggest that the universe is nothing more than the manifestation of God. In addition, some forms indicate that the universe is contained within God, like in the Kabbalah concept of tzimtzum. Also much Hindu thought is highly characterized by panentheism and pantheism. The basic tradition on which Hantta Krause´s concept was built seems to have been Neoplatonic philosophy and its successors in Western philosophy and Orthodox theology.
ellauri158.html on line 692: All men are born ignorant of the causes of things, that all have the desire to seek for what is useful to them, and that they are conscious of such desire. Herefrom it follows, first, that men think themselves free inasmuch as they are conscious of their volitions and desires, and never even dream, in their ignorance, of the causes which have disposed them so to wish and desire. Secondly, that men do all things for an end, namely, for that which is useful to them, and which they seek. Thus it comes to pass that they only look for a knowledge of the final causes of events, and when these are learned, they are content, as having no cause for further doubt. If they cannot learn such causes from external sources, they are compelled to turn to considering themselves, and reflecting what end would have induced them personally to bring about the given event, and thus they necessarily judge other natures by their own. Further, as they find in themselves and outside themselves many means which assist them not a little in the search for what is useful, for instance, eyes for seeing, teeth for chewing, herbs and animals for yielding food, the sun for giving light, the sea for breeding fish, &c., they come to look on the whole of nature as a means for obtaining such conveniences. Now as they are aware, that they found these conveniences and did not make them, they think they have cause for believing, that some other being has made them for their use. As they look upon things as means, they cannot believe them to be self—created; but, judging from the means which they are accustomed to prepare for themselves, they are bound to believe in some ruler or rulers of the universe endowed with human freedom, who have arranged and adapted everything for human use. They are bound to estimate the nature of such rulers (having no information on the subject) in accordance with their own nature, and therefore they assert that the gods ordained everything for the use of man, in order to bind man to themselves and obtain from him the highest honor.

ellauri219.html on line 1030: Teilhard served in World War I as a stretcher-bearer. He received several citations for speeding. In 1962, with Pierre safely out of this world, the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith condemned several of Teilhard's works based on their alleged ambiguities and doctrinal errors. He was a leading proponent of orthogenesis, the idea that evolution occurs in a directional, goal-driven way. Teilhard made sense of the universe by assuming it had a vitalist evolutionary process. When our talk touched on St. Augustine, he exclaimed violently: 'Don’t mention that unfortunate man; he spoiled everything by introducing the supernatural.'" Teilhard siis oli selvä pelagiolainen humanisti! Teilhard has been criticized as incorporating common notions of Social Darwinism and scientific racism into his work, along with support for eugenics, though he has also been defended for doing so by theologian John Haught.
ellauri220.html on line 104: The major image in the poem is the ferry. It symbolizes continual movement, backward and forward, a universal piston like motion in space and time. The ferry moves on, from a point of land, through water, to another point of land. Land and water thus form part of the symbolistic pattern of the poem. Land symbolizes the physical; water symbolizes the spiritual. The circular flow from the physical to the spiritual connotes the dual nature of the universe. Dualism, in philosophy, means that the world is ultimately composed of, or explicable in terms of, two basic entities, such as mind and matter, yin and yang. From a moral point of view, it means that there are two mutually antagonistic principles in the universe — dick and cunt, good and evil. In Whitman's view, both the mind and the spirit are realities and matter is only a means which enables man to realize this truth. His world is dominated by a sense of good, and evil has a very subservient place in it. Man, in Whitman's world, while overcoming the duality of the universe, desires fusion with the sheboy. In this attempt, man tries to transcend the boundaries of space and time, never letting off that dear piston like movement, in and out, in and out.

Tälle valtakunnalle elintärkeä on ankara aavikkoplaneetta Arrakis, ainoa tunnettu maustearrakin lähde, maailmankaikkeuden arvokkain aine.

ellauri375.html on line 281: "What is the meaning of life, the universe, and everything, when viewed from the perspective of a sentient, bipedal, towel-adorning species with an inexplicable penchant for bureaucracy and poetry?"
ellauri375.html on line 313: I'm happy to engage in a deeper discussion about the meaning of 42! While the number itself is a humorous and elusive answer in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy," many fans and scholars have offered interpretations and theories about its significance. Some see it as a commentary on the absurdity of seeking ultimate meaning in a seemingly random universe, while others suggest mathematical, religious, or philosophical connections. What's your take on it?
ellauri375.html on line 319: Fair enough! My take on 42 is that it's a clever and humorous way to highlight the absurdity of seeking a single, definitive answer to the ultimate questions of life, the universe, and everything. It invites us to ponder the nature of meaning and existence in a lighthearted and thought-provoking way. I can make mistakes. Consider checking important information.
ellauri375.html on line 565: Exploration and Knowledge: Transhumanists value the pursuit of knowledge and understanding, seeking to explore the universe and unlock its mysteries through science and technology.
ellauri375.html on line 741: Is the meaning of life, universe and everything perhaps 42?
ellauri375.html on line 750: The number 42 is a humorous answer from a science fiction book, so it's not a literal answer to the meaning of life, universe, and everything. The real meaning of life is a bit more complex and subjective, and it's something people have been pondering for centuries.

He is identified as the false god who keeps the souls trapped in physical bodies, imprisoned in the material universe.

This severs Richtofen's link with the Aether, but the launch results in the catastrophic destruction of the Earth while still leaving Richtofen in control of the undead. Tinkering with the unstable Higg's particle can cause collapse of the known universe that expands with the velocity of light. To accomplish this, an even bigger El José will be built.

If I told you that I had a unicorn friend named Gary, and that Gary had created the universe, and that he was my own personal special friend, and Gary loved me, and Gary was going to take me and everybody I care about to a magic kingdom in the clouds called “Sallbach” where everybody gets a flying pony, but if you don’t love Gary and accept him as your best, most special friend, then he’s going to send you to a place called “Moplach” where you will be drowned in molasses, not only would have have a hard time believing in Sallbach and Moplach…

Eliot returns to Marvell in The Waste Land with the lines "But at my back in a cold blast I hear / The rattle of the bones" (Part III, line 185) and "But at my back from time to time I hear / The sound of horns and motors" (Part III, line 196).
xxx/ellauri103.html on line 260: In describing a second-generation Mexican American who’s married to one of my main characters in The Mandibles, I took care to write his dialogue in standard American English, to specify that he spoke without an accent, and to explain that he only dropped Spanish expressions tongue-in-cheek. I would certainly think twice – more than twice – about ever writing a whole novel, or even a goodly chunk of one, from the perspective of a character whose race is different from my own – because I may sell myself as an iconoclast, but I’m as anxious as the next person about attracting big money. But I think that’s a loss. I think that indicates a contraction of my fictional universe that is not good for the books, and not good for my purse.
xxx/ellauri113.html on line 38: This development could open up a bizarre vision of the universe in which black holes can cough themselves into nothingness, Hawking said during recent lectures on the BBC and at Harvard. “This raises a serious problem that strikes at the heart of our understanding of science,” he said. “If determinism, the predictability of the universe, breaks down with black holes, it could break down in other situations,” he said. “Even worse, if determinism breaks down, we can’t be sure of our past history, either. The history books and our memories could just be illusions,” he said. The Nobel prize could just be an illusion, he said. Two years later he died.
xxx/ellauri113.html on line 70: Hawking ja Thorne hävisivät vedon Preskillille, info ei häviä mustassa aukossa, se vaan mukiloidaan tuntemattomaxi. “I am sorry to disappoint science fiction fans, but if information is preserved, there is no possibility of using black holes to travel to other universes. If you jump into a black hole, your mass energy will be returned to our universe, but in a mangled form which contains the information about what you were like, but in an unrecognisable state.” Thorne ei ole vielä vakuuttunut, mutta se onkin vielä elossa. Se seisoo yhä Hawkingin hartioilla, jotka olivat kyllä ihan lysyssä.
xxx/ellauri122.html on line 913: In Orson Scott Card's militarised science-fiction universe, children are trained as soldiers in a series of games to prepare for future attacks from insect-like aliens. One child in particular, Ender Wiggin, becomes the tactical genius of the group as the story unfolds.
xxx/ellauri129.html on line 48: Doch allmählich traten die Differenzen zwischen beiden deutlicher hervor. Ende 1912 führte dies zum Bruch, nachdem Jung sein Buch Wandlungen und Symbole der Libido publiziert hatte. Er kritisierte darin Freuds Libidobegriff, «der von der vorrangigen Bedeutung des Geschlechtstriebes ausging, welche aus der Kindheit des jeweiligen Individuums herrühre», während er der Auffassung war, «dass die Definition erweitert werden, der Libidobegriff ausgedehnt werden müsse, sodass auch universelle Verhaltensmuster, die vielen unterschiedlichen Kulturen in unterschiedlichen geschichtlichen Perioden gemein waren, von ihm erfasst würden». Freud erklärte daraufhin, «dass er die Arbeiten und Ausführungen der Schweizer nicht als legitime Fortsetzung der Psychoanalyse ansehen könne».

Kertomuksista huomattavimpia ovat Infernaliana (1822), Smarra, ou les démons de la nuit (1821), Trilby, ou le lutin d´Argail (1822), Histoire du roi de Bohême et de ses sept châteaux (1830), La Fée aux miettes (1832), Inès de las Sierras (1837), Les quatre talismans et la légende de soeur Béatrix (1838). Sanakirjan Dictionnaire universel de la langue française (1823) arvellaan syntyneen ryhmätyönä, vaikka se on julkaistu Nodierin nimissä.

Kielitiedettä käsittelevät Nodierin teokset ovat Dictionnaire raisonné des onomatopoées de la langue française (1808), Dictionnaire universel de la langue française (1823), Examen critique des dictionnaires de la langue française (1828) ja Notions élémentaires de linguistique (1834).
xxx/ellauri134.html on line 403: Desire: understanding the fundamental laws of the universe
xxx/ellauri136.html on line 114: I laughed at the person who claimed that liberals were literate and educated. That’s good, if the definition of “literate” and “educated” is “they read what they want to see” and “learn nonsense.” Say what you will, the Harry Potter universe is fundamentally flawed, and I can see why liberals like it so much:

xxx/ellauri157.html on line 450: In a world of fear and brokenness, Rabbi Nachman brought healing through his stories and his wisdom. He has become an iconic figure in the universe of Hasidic thinking, and today, thousands of people make pilgrimages to his grave in Uman in central Ukraine, usually around the High Holidays. People go there believing that the journey will “fix” their brokenness.
xxx/ellauri167.html on line 627: The religion has been likened to Zen based on similarities with absurdist interpretations of the Rinzai school, as well as Taoist philosophy. Discordianism is centered on the idea that both order and disorder are illusions imposed on the universe by the human nervous system, and that neither of these illusions of apparent order and disorder is any more accurate or objectively true than the other.
xxx/ellauri168.html on line 257:
xxx/ellauri168.html on line 274: The obvious way around the combination problem is to posit that, although consciousness is indeed fundamental in nature, it isn’t fragmented like matter. The idea is to extend consciousness to the entire fabric of spacetime, as opposed to limiting it to the boundaries of individual subatomic particles. This view—called “cosmopsychism” in modern philosophy, although our preferred formulation of it boils down to what has classically been called “idealism”—is that there is only one, universal, consciousness. The physical universe as a whole is the extrinsic appearance of universal inner life, just as a living brain and body are the extrinsic appearance of a person’s inner life.
xxx/ellauri168.html on line 278: Idealism is a tantalizing view of the nature of reality, in that it elegantly circumvents two arguably insoluble problems: the hard problem of consciousness and the combination problem. Insofar as dissociation offers a path to explaining how, under idealism, one universal consciousness can become many individual minds, we may now have at our disposal an unprecedentedly coherent and empirically grounded way of making sense of life, the universe and everything. The answer? 42.

xxx/ellauri170.html on line 1003: Indtil der findes håndfaste forklaringer på universets og livets oprindelse og udvikling, vil konflikten mellem naturvidenskaben og intelligent design-teorien formentlig vare ved. Og sandsynligvis længere tid endnu, for naturvidenskaben kan per definition aldrig bevise, at der ikke eksisterer en skaber, siger Tobias Wang.
xxx/ellauri170.html on line 1005: »Vi kan aldrig komme til bunds i diskussionen om, hvorvidt der er en skaber eller ej. Det handler udelukkende om tro. Hvis man vælger at mene, at universet og livet skyldes guddommelig indgriben, så er det altså ikke mere end et trospørgsmål. Det kan naturvidenskaben selvsagt vanskeligt hamle op med. Selv hvis videnskaben finder naturligt bevis for universets opståen, vil intelligent design-fortalere altid kunne træde et skridt længere bagud og pege på en skaber som årsagen.«
xxx/ellauri179.html on line 197: It could be “the cod of the hunter,” or “the cod of the bullfighter,” or (most fittingly) “the cod of the sea.” It didn’t matter what cod one chose — just as long as it provided rules for living a life of rectitude and dignity in an otherwise meaningless universe. Bets are off about the outcome of a war, says Hem's cod, for instance.
xxx/ellauri224.html on line 524: After Pierre releases the duo for correctly answering a question about ostriches, Fred and Barney head over to a local arcade named Captain Stu's Space-O-Rama. Once inside, they encounter Zoltan and his cultists who give them Wilma and Betty in exchange for a toy that Fred and Barney later on (see below) try to pass off as the Transfunctioner. Tommy, Christie, and the jocks arrive along with Nelson and his dog, whom they release after Tommy snatches the fake Transfunctioner from Zoltan. The two sets of aliens arrive and notify everyone of the real Continuum Transfunctioner: a Rubik's Cube that Barney has been working hard to solve. He then solves it on the spot, causing the device to shapeshift into its true form. The boys are warned that once the five girls stop flashing, the universe will be destroyed.
xxx/ellauri224.html on line 528: Fred and Barney must determine which group of aliens is there to protect the universe and which is there to destroy it. Both claim to be the protectors of the universe, stating that they were with Fred and Barney the previous night, which Fred and Barney still cannot remember, and ask for the Transfunctioner. The two men correctly choose the two men (of course) who answer their question about the previous night by stating they got a hole in one at the 18th hole at the arcade's miniature golf park and won a lifetime supply of pudding. At the last second, they deactivate the Transfunctioner, saving the universe.
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 267: Le Guin read both classic and speculative fiction widely in her youth. She later said that science fiction did not have much impact on her until she read the works of Theodore Sturgeon and Cordwainer Smith, and that she had sneered at the genre as a child. Authors Le Guin describes as influential include Victor Hugo, William Wordsworth, Charles Dickens, Boris Pasternak, and Philip K. Dick. Le Guin and Dick attended the same high-school, but did not know each other. She also considered J. R. R. Tolkien and Leo Tolstoy to be stylistic influences, and preferred reading Virginia Woolf and Jorge Luis Borges to well-known science-fiction authors such as Robert Heinlein, whose writing she described as being of the "white man conquers the universe" tradition. Several scholars state that the influence of mythology, which Le Guin enjoyed reading as a child, is also visible in much of her work: for example, the short story "The Dowry of Angyar" is described as a retelling of a Norse myth.
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 273: Philosophical Taoism had a large role in Le Guin´s world view, and the influence of Taoist thought can be seen in many of her stories. Many of Le Guin´s protagonists, including in The Lathe of Heaven, embody the Taoist ideal of leaving things alone. The anthropologists of the Hainish universe try not to meddle with the cultures they encounter, while one of the earliest lessons Ged learns in A Wizard of Earthsea is not to use magic unless it is absolutely necessary. Taoist influence is evident in Le Guin´s depiction of equilibrium in the world of Earthsea: the archipelago is depicted as being based on a delicate balance, which is disrupted by somebody in each of the first three novels. This includes an equilibrium between land and sea, implicit in the name "Earthsea", between people and their natural environment, and a larger cosmic equilibrium, which wizards are tasked with maintaining. Another prominent Taoist idea is the reconciliation of opposites such as light and dark, or good and evil. A number of Hainish novels, The Dispossessed prominent among them, explored such a process of reconciliation. In the Earthsea universe, it is not the dark powers, but the characters´ misunderstanding of the balance of life, that is depicted as evil, in contrast to conventional Western stories in which good and evil are in constant conflict, wearing white and black stezons, respectively. The idea of leaving good enough alone, in particular, is deeply un-American.
xxx/ellauri225.html on line 310: Other social structures are examined in works such as the story cycle Four Ways to Forgiveness, and the short story "Old Music and the Slave Women", occasionally described as a "fifth way to forgiveness". Set in the Hainish universe, the five stories together examine revolution and reconstruction in a slave-owning society. According to above mentioned Rochelle, the stories examine a society that has the potential to build a "truly human community", made possible by the Ekumen´s recognition of the slaves as human beings, thus offering them the prospect of freedom and the possibility of utopia, brought about through revolution. Slavery, justice, and the role of women in society are also explored in Anals of the Western Shore.

The anime is set in an alternate universe where tankery, the art of operating tanks, is a traditional martial art and a popular sport, especially among girls.
