WALL OF TEXT: THE LOST TIGER. It has not seen aworldwide release, and after watching it I understand why: it hastoo much to say. In fact, it has more to say than the Zootopiamovies. It’s about cultural theft for the prestige and profit of“Western” institutions at the expense of independent cultures.Unlike Zootopia’s cowardly portrayal of oppression, The Lost Tigerhas something to say about indige

“The difference between false memories and true ones is the

“Writing a book is a horrible, exhausting struggle, like a long bout with some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven on by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand.”

“The so-called Christian nations are the most enlightened and progressive ... but in spite of their religion, not because of it. The Church has opposed every innovation and discovery from the day of Galileo down to our own time, when the use of anesthetic in childbirth was regarded as a sin because it avoided the biblical curse pronounced against Eve. And every step in astronomy and geology ever taken has been opposed by bigotry and superstition. The Greeks surpassed us in artistic culture and in architecture five hundred years before Christian religion was born.”
― Mark Twain
