Henry Cavill is Duns Scouts concept of univocity (ie Good and good are the same good) and Jason Momoa is the analogia entis (ie when we call God's goodness 'goodness' it is because of its resemblance to the goodness we know from everyday life but not because they are the same). Momoa stalks Cavill as though to tackle him as Aquinas's theology tackled Scotus's. AI enthusiasts ought to beware the risk of their tendency to say that a person generating speech and a machine generating text are both the products of thought because my thinks are not their thinks, neither are their ways my ways

But long before, Frantic with grief and scorning all control, The Youths were gone in a light brigantine, Lying at anchor near the Arsenal; Each having sworn, and by the holy rood, To slay or to be slain.

A three panel cartoon: In the first panel, we are facing a man in a yellow sweater and a red tie sitting on a bed, holding a gigantic blue book. In the second panel, the perspective shifts and we see over his shoulder that there are no words on the page of the book he has turned open to. In the third panel, we zoom tightly on the man's face, text along the bottom of the panel says, Damn, I wish I could read
A bit of a scene from Mary Poppins. It's towards the end of the movie, Mr Banks has walked in on a room full of chimney sweeps dancing in his hallway. He exclaims "What's all this?" Classic classism
Page from the Very Hungry Caterpillar. The caterpillar walks away from leaf. Leaf has four holes punched in it. Text reads: The next day was Sunday again. The caterpillar ate through one nice green leaf, and after that he felt much better.
