timgulson.bsky.social @timgulson.bsky.social · 15/12/2024“[Just] as flowers bloom, people religion.” - Alan Watts TL;DR: Religious belief in individuals is a consequence of our evolved tendency to detect agency in our environment.

timgulson.bsky.social @timgulson.bsky.social · 02/12/2024Alright, I’ll bite. I have read very few comics/graphic novels that I wouldn’t have preferred as a film or a novel. These are some of them Judge Dredd: America V for Vendetta Transmetropolitan Aliens: Book One would totally have been better as a film. Included here out of fond nostalgia. 010
