Work continues on Kyroh. Movies set in Egypt? I haven’t seen all of these, and I’m sure I’m missing some obvious ones. Haven’t kerned this one yet in case that’s not obvious! ;)

The stories humans most enjoy usually begin with hope, descend into catastrophe, and end in triumph. Joseph Campbell wrote about the Hero’s Journey in the 1940s. Since then, advances in big data and machine learning have given researchers new ways to analyze stories. In one study, researchers used sentiment analysis to track the emotional trajectories of 112,000 plots from books, movies, video games, and even commercials. Their main conclusion was striking. If we had to summarize the average story humans tell, it would go something like this: “Things get worse and worse until, at the last min… Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public
statements, and a person can change their mind, which is recorded too.

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked
article and a belief on korrents.com
are left in their original language.
