Had a little fun with this YouTube Short. I'm going to need to come up with a name for my scatterbrained alter-ego, as he keeps coming up in these videos. Check out these SFF Adaptation thoughts! #SFF #fantasy #SciFi #Adaptations https://youtube.com/shorts/MU7z9AFofho

As we prepare for the arrival of #DunePartTwo, I'd like to say a few words about the several #liveaction #adaptations

First, I just don't get the love for #Dune1984. It's so damn weird.

Before #DunePartOne, my favorite adaptations were the two #SciFiChannel #TV #movie series, #FrankHerbert's #Dune and #ChildrenofDune. CoD is my favorite between the two, tbh, and has a moving #soundtrack despite terrible #CGI.

Of course, #Dune 2021 blew me outta the water and I'm excited to see Part 2.

To be fair, it doesn't seem often #Adaptations come up w/ fresh takes that future #Projects then acknowledge or incorporate.

RT @MissETechie
Such a fun program from #ZooAmerica: Paws, Claws, Scales, and Tails! We saw a Giant African Millipede, a Desert king snake, a Desert Tortoise, a Striped Skunk, and Harris Hawk! We discussed their #adaptations and how they survive in their #habitat 🦨🪱🐍🐢🦅

And more potential #adaptations of #QueenofSwordsPress titles! Yet more #adaptations: we think ⁦‪@AJFitzwater‬⁩’s glorious dapper lesbian capybara pirate stories would make a terrific cartoon! Anthropomorphic animals + lovely ecological and trans-affirming message! https://queenofswordspress.com/product/the-voyages-of-cinrak-the-dapper-2/

Yet more potential #adaptations of #QueenofSwordsPress titles: ‬⁩my own bestselling #menopausalwerewolf series, THE WOLVES OF WOLF’s POINT, which will be out in #audiobook starting in May! #Smalltown werewolves, diverse cast, older women and a third book on the way! https://queenofswordspress.com/product-category/authors/catherine-lundoff/

More #adaptations of #QueenofSwordsPress titles: ⁦‪#MichaeLMerriam‬⁩ just had a short film script accepted for the #DallasMovieAwardsFestival and we bet he’d be delighted to write a screenplay for LAST CAR AT ANNWN STATION! Welsh mythology meets sapphic urban fantasy in #Minneapolis! https://queenofswordspress.com/product/last-car-to-annwn-station/

Herein follows a thread of excellent #QueenofSwordsPress titles that we think would make better #adaptations than recent retread announcements: ⁦‪@Jenniegoloboy‬⁩ already has a script for OBVIOUSLY, ALIENS and is doing well at contests (one of her scripts is a finalist at the #PortlandComedyFilm Festival and elsewhere!)! It’s funny, features a diverse cast and a nice message! https://queenofswordspress.com/product/obviously-aliens/

"Watching the stage play adaptation of Hayao Miyazaki’s Academy Award-winning, animated masterpiece Spirited Away is a surreal experience. The Studio Ghibli film gets brought to life (literally!) through bunraku puppetry, incredible sets, and astounding practical effects, creating an incredibly faithful adaptation that’s simultaneously original."

The nervous system is electro-chemical. Thought's are the product of electro-chemical reactivity. Heat is one byproduct of a chemical reaction. Consciousness is another. Whilst science currently does not have a complete understanding of consciousness, all the experimental & observational evidence would lead a reasoned person, who is aware of that evidence, to conclude that consciousness is biological.

Therefore, the intrinsic fuel for consciousness is food & water (& external aspects that sustain the organisms bio systems within sustainable limits. E.g., temperature)

Scientifically, the explanations in this post are not controversial nor speculative (However, folk psychology, etc).

Organism that think (e.g., mammals, reptiles, birds, amphibians & fish) #CognitivePsychology & don't think (e.g., plants, fungi, etc) evolved.

Conscious thoughts are #adaptations (adaptive), #maladaptations (maladaptive), #byproducts ("noise") & #malfunctions. (E.g., disease). Conscious thoughts are nature & nurture. For example, inheritance & learning (experience).

Beliefs either have an adaptive (e.g., placebo), maladaptive or benign quality. Understanding is adaptive. Misunderstanding is adaptive, if the mistake is recognised & leads to adaptation. If the mistake is implicit, the misunderstanding is maladaptive (e.g., dogma).

The human mind has evolved to be a general adaptive system (general intelligence). The more an individual organism is aware of their minds adaptive & maladaptive characteristics, the more generally adaptive that mind.

Humanity must adapt to sustain #ecology (environment). Does humanity, in general, have what it takes? Does humanity have sufficient general adaptive intelligence? Or is humanity ecologically maladapted?

Time will "tell".
