Identification (literature)

From Wikipedia

Identification refers to the automatic, subconscious psychological process in which an individual becomes like or closely associates themselves with another person by adopting one or more of the others' perceived personality traits, physical attributes, or some other aspect of their identity. The concept of identification was founded by psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud in the 1920’s, and has since been expanded on and applied in psychology, social studies, media studies, and literary and film criticism. In literature, identification most often refers to the audience identifying with a fictional character

They seem to have finally stopped streaming that entertaining tv- and streaming-serial "Extinct" from 2017

I'm hoping available on Amazon video at some point for purchase.

Really wasn't a very good production and seemed sort of amateurish

Most of the acting is competent

I speculated in the past they those ridiculous Jesus Christ bible-thumpers continued to stream it for purpose of generating revenue

Despite how their monkey-foreheads must have deeply furrowed when the dialog explained their "faith" was actually an alien-parasite

I found the story entertaining

I also documented compelling facts about the production

Maybe I'll read a book.

Really need to finish "Caliban's War", anyway, despite the echo, which causes me to leave off from it for days at a time

Caliban's War

From Wikipedia

Caliban's War is a 2012 science fiction novel by James S. A. Corey (pen name of Daniel Abraham and Ty Franck). It is about a conflict in the Solar System that involves the polities Earth, Mars, the Asteroid Belt and the outer planets, and a powerful extraterrestrial biological von Neumann probe. The second book in The Expanse series, it was preceded by Leviathan Wakes.

Plot summary

On Ganymede, immunodeficient four year old Mei Meng is taken from her preschool by her doctor, who has authority to do so. Told that she is being taken to her mother, she is instead brought to a laboratory and after being presented with a grotesquely transformed male human in a transparent vat, begins screaming.

Several hours later Earth and Martian space marines, who had been guarding their respective pods on the moon's surface, are attacked and effortlessly slaughtered by a humanoid alien super soldier which is impervious to their weaponry; Gunnery Sergeant Roberta "Bobbie" Draper, a Martian marine, is the only survivor. This incident precipitates a massive shooting war between Earth and Mars, who blame each other for the attack

Holden's crew, Avasarala and Bobbie share notes on the alien soldiers. They put all of the pieces together, and determine that the alien soldiers are biological weapons created by Jules-Pierre Mao by using the Protomolecule on immunodeficient individuals. Mao had sold the weaponized Protomolecule creations to the highest bidder

I think I remembered it because I had another accident on Dec. 23, 2001, when I was biking around Lake Washington. At the 30 mile point of that 60 mile trip, I hit a patch of ice and went down hard and fast. One minute I was riding along, the next minute I was looking at my feet as I went sliding across the road. Damn that hurt. I dislocated my shoulder because my elbow hit first or right about the same time as my knee. I could barely raise my arm if at all for weeks after that. It was pretty uncomfortable riding the remaining 30 miles back home. And the whole way there and for a time afterwards, I could almost hear something, it was unusal, the way you can feel like there is something on your tongue as that saying goes, but with this, I could almost hear a "thud" sound for a while after, the sound of me hitting the ground.

Damn, my left shoulder has really started hurting the past hour or longer. It is something that is close to my shoulder, actually, but under the clavicle and the pain in on my back to, about where the shoulder blade would be. The pain is almost bad enough that I cannot really move my left arm, although it is not that bad. The feeling may be closer to a muscle spasm in the area of my left shoulder blade.

Carter Announces Bosnia Cease-Fire Agreement : Balkans: Truce begins Friday, he says after shaky start with rebel Serbs. Diplomats remain skeptical.

December 21, 1994 DEAN E. MURPHY TIMES STAFF WRITER

SARAJEVO, Bosnia-Herzegovina — The Bosnian Serbs and the Muslim-led Bosnian government have agreed to begin a cease-fire on Friday as a small first step toward ending the 32-month civil war, former President Jimmy Carter announced Tuesday.

The modest agreement--one of many proposed cease-fires over the course of the war--came after an unscheduled second round of meetings between Carter and the Bosnian Serb leadership in nearby Pale. Carter called the extra session after conflicting claims about the results of their high-profile talks on Monday threatened to sink his entire peace mission.

Carter announced Monday that Bosnian Serb leader Radovan Karadzic had agreed to an immediate cease-fire, but Karadzic backed away from the claim a few hours later.

The Bosnian government was so angered by the theatrics that President Alija Izetbegovic refused to meet with Carter when he returned to Sarajevo late Monday, choosing to make the former U.S. President wait until morning, sources said.

"We have had this character 2 1/2 years, and he lies every day," said Bosnian Vice President Ejup Ganic, referring to Karadzic. "Make sure that you know with whom you deal."

Carter, said to be alarmed and betrayed by Karadzic's antics on Monday, made Tuesday's cease-fire announcement in Pale standing shoulder to shoulder with him.

After driving the mountainous road to Sarajevo, Carter repeated the announcement at the airport en route to Belgrade, where he plans to hold talks with Serbian leaders.

"There will be a complete cease-fire in all of Bosnia-Herzegovina, including Bihac, to go into effect at noon on Dec. 23," Carter said. "This cease-fire is to be completely monitored, without interference, by UNPROFOR (U.N. Protection Force) troops, interposing themselves between the opposing military units wherever necessary."
