You stinky bum.

The world has been radically transforming for 2000 years. The rise of agriculture, the dark ages, the printing press, the discovery of the new world, the renaissance, isaac newton, the industrial age, the combustion engine, the atomic age, etc. There’s no evidence that current transformations underway are any more or less radical. It is a constant and uninterrupted transformation. We are biased: current transformations feel more profound to us simply because we are living through them.

For all the benefits of a cerebellum, humans are wired to focus on their immediate needs: food, shelter, water, sex. Yes, the higher brain can put a man on the moon, but that doesn’t put dinner on the table tonight, or pay the rent this week.

With limits to our energy, time, and attention, we (statistically) each focus on the here and now. Anything “down the road” (like climate change), is “tomorrow’s problem”. It’s not malevolence; it’s our wiring at a biological level.

The development of a cerebellum on top of our lizard brain was necessary to assure survival. But it came with some critical drawbacks that needed mitigation: We became aware of the nature of our mortality. We could spend precious energy consumed with tasks that gave future benefit (like farming or making tools). The equation stood to be unbalanced. The squirrel who spends his energy collecting nuts still needs to eat today’s meal. Humans couldn’t stand around helplessly fearing their own eventual death. We were therefore gifted with the ability to easily ignore transformative changes around us, and ignore knowledge/wisdom that our cerebellums deduce; instead simply adapt to whatever our environment gives us.

This manifests mostly as procrastination and avoidance. Inaction does not imply ignorance. We are behaving as we are currently designed to behave. All the wars, violence, theft, torture, and cruelty are manifestations of our lower brains, and evidence that they retain control. What humanity doesn’t grasp in its smugness is that we are not finished yet. Our evolution is not complete. It will require perhaps a hundred thousand more years for the slow hand of evolution to winnow out the petty behaviors that drive us. If we survive that long, we will become altruistic beings motivated by rational thought, acting to effect both our short and long term needs.

Until that day, the space aliens will do what they always do: have a quick look then turn around and go home.

Nothing. Happens all the time. Your best bet is to file a copyright in the work and subtly state that in the script

Sergei Eisenstein produced a silent movie of the ordeal in 1925 based on the actual events. The movie, Battleship Potemkin, was considered the greatest movie ever made up until the 1950s. As late as 2022 the movie was rated 54th greatest movie ever made, and has consistently been in the top ten for a century.

One scene in the film, the massacre on the Odessa steps has been considered one of the most influential scenes in cinema history.

Eisenstein hoped that the orchestral soundtrack to the silent film would be rewritten every 20 years to keep it fresh and relevant. Rewrites of the soundtrack have been contributed at various times over the past century, with one of the latest being in 2004 when the Pet Shop Boys wrote a sound track for it. Their music is a fusion of orchestra and electronic, with the orchestral performed by the Dresden sinphonic orchestra.

The movie, accompanied by live playing of the soundtrack by the PSBs and the Dresden orchestra, premiered in 2004 at an open air concert in Trafalgar Square in London for an audience of 20,000 people.

The movie with the PSB’s soundtrack can be seen in its entirety here.
