  • But Not As We Know It
    LOCKDOWN and LIFE but not as we know it It has long been argued that humans are intrinsically selfish, prone to be territorial and war-like and that these instincts are what helped us, along with our super-large brains to become the earth’s dominant species. However, over the last 50 years this theory has increasingly been questioned and the counter theory has gained ground that humans are actually distinguished from other species, not by their selfishness or intelligence but by their ability to cooperate and learn from and help each other. I heartily recommend ‘Humankind’ by Rutger Bregman if you are interested in this. This has come into focus for me recently because the capacity of people around the world to be selfless, to support others, especially the most vulnerable and to be self- sacrificing has shone through during the current Covid-19 crisis and even the BLM controversy. For every selfish or despicable act that is highlighted in the media we can all point to people who behave in exactly the opposite way. We can see this in the people working in care homes and hospitals; volunteers helping their local community; technology teachers making PPE or people like Marcus Rashford, using his platform as a famous footballer to speak out on behalf of the powerless. This is equally true of our school community. I am full of admiration for the way that we have pulled together, students, families and staff, to make the best of this situation. As we start to see more students in school it is increasingly clear how important human interaction is to our well-being and our capacity to learn.

  • Dr. Ed's Movie Reviews 2020
    Dr. Ed’s Movie Reviews 2020 Yardeni Research, Inc. Dr. Edward Yardeni 516-972-7683 [email protected] Please visit our sites at www.yardeni.com blog.yardeni.com thinking outside the box “1917” (+ +) received the Best Picture award during the Golden Globe Awards held on 1/5/20. It was well deserved. Directed, co-written, and produced by Sam Mendes, the film is about two young British soldiers during World War I who were ordered to deliver a message deep in enemy territory to save 1,600 of their compatriots from an ambush by German forces. The acting is excellent, and the cinematography is outstanding, with very long camera shots creating the impression of one continuous take. The depiction of war’s horrors was also exceptional. Even more exceptional was the 2018 documentary “They Shall Not Grow Old,” directed and produced by Peter Jackson. That film was created using original WWI footage that had been digitally restored. The agony of war, particularly trench warfare, was remarkably graphic. “Away” (+) is a binge-able Netflix series about an American astronaut, played by Hilary Swank, embarking on a dangerous mission to Mars as commander of an international space crew with representatives from China, India, Russia, and Ghana. The first season spends more time on the emotional toll of being away from family and loved ones on a three-year roundtrip to the Red Planet than on the actual journey, which obviously doesn’t go so smoothly with plenty of technical and interpersonal problems along the way there. So it’s a touchy-feely Mars movie.
