I'm counting the days when we can successfully communicate with sperm whales 🐳. We will finally be able to apologise for almost making them extinct because of our thirst for money and "progress".
And we could tell them one of the greatest books ever written by our civilization is about them! 😍
Melville would be proud. 🫶🏾

Zettel 645
Herman Melville: Immer wenn ich merke, daß ich um den Mund herum grimmig werde; immer wenn in meiner Seele nasser, niesliger November herrscht; immer wenn ich merke, daß ich vor Sarglagern stehenbleibe und jedem Leichenzug hinterhertrotte, der mir begegnet; und besonders immer dann, wenn meine schwarze Galle so sehr überhandnimmt, daß nur starke moralische Grundsätze mich davon abhalten können, mit Vorsatz auf die Straße zu treten und den Leuten mit Bedacht die Hüte vom Kopf zu hauen – dann ist es höchste Zeit für mich, so bald ich kann auf See zu kommen. Das ist mein Ersatz für Pistole und Kugel. Mit einer stoischen Sentenz stürzt Cato sich in sein Schwert; ich gehe still an Bord. Daran ist nichts Überraschendes. Von Zeit zu Zeit hegen fast alle Menschen, ob sie’s wissen oder nicht, in etwa dieselben Gefühle für das Weltmeer wie ich.” – Moby Dick

A sea-monster movie borrowing the aesthetic of whaling epics inevitably sails into the shadow of Moby-Dick. The spectacle is fun, but the ideas feel smaller than the ocean they’re trying to cross. Big ships, bigger beasts… but the biggest stories are the ones with ideas deep enough to match the water.

In a coincidence that can only be called suspicious, today is also Galápagos Day, for the for,al annexation of the Galápagos Islands by Ecuador, 2/12/1832.
As another famed scientist, Herman Melville, noted, the islands are inhabited by "an incomputable host of fiends, anteaters, man-haters, and salamanders".

"Moby Dick" is an #instrumental #drumSolo by English #rock band Led Zeppelin, featured on the band's 1969 album #LedZeppelinII. Named after the 1851 novel of the same name by #HermanMelville, it was also known by the alternative titles "Pat's Delight" (early 1968–1969 version with completely different guitar riff) and "Over the Top" (with "Out on the Tiles" intro section and original closing reprise) during various points of the band's career.

A good movie that I missed when it was released but just watched on #Prime Video.
#InTheHeartOfTheOcean (2015) is directed by #RonHoward, who's filmography of films he has directed is almost as substantial as #Spielberg's with #Splash, #Cocoon, #GungHo, #Backdraft, #ThePaper, #Apollo13, #TheMissing, #CinderellaMan, the #DaVinci Code Trillogy,
#13Lives & this movie(among others) to his credit.Heart of the Ocean is a prequel to #MobyDick in which #HermanMelville is told the reportedly true story of the whaling ship Essex which sank when attacked by a whale, which he uses to write his book.
#ChrisHelmsworth stars in the movie & #CillianMurphy & #BrendanGleeson play supporting roles.
It's an excellent cast & a very good movie which I'd rate a 7 out of 10, even though it only was moderately successful financially & only given luke warm rating elsewhere.

Writing in Your Books Is Good for Your Brain—Here’s Why
Annotating the margins of books is an important part of deep reading and has a long legacy of merit in both science and literature
By Brianne Kane edited by Jeanna Bryner, September 19, 2024
Excerpt: "Readers on TikTok and Instagram are making the aesthetics of reading more visible than ever with creative, and often intricate, annotations. Called marginalia, these markups can be elaborate, with notes that nearly fill full pages and that are color-coordinated with the book’s cover. The emergence of such bookish note-taking has sparked a debate between enthusiasts and skeptics: Is the practice of marginalia a bad habit or a beneficial endeavor?
"#Marginalia have a long history: #LeonardoDaVinci famously scribbled thoughts about gravity years before Galileo Galilei published his magnum opus on the subject; the discovery was waiting under our noses in the margins of Leonardo’s Codex Arundel. Famous writers such as #HermanMelville and #EdgarAllanPoe are somewhat known for their marginalia, making their biographers both overjoyed and overwhelmed. Just last year #AnnPatchett, a staple on any modern fiction shelves, told Literary Hub about the joys of reading her own books and annotating patterns she never before noticed. She created a unique edition of Tom Lake for dedicated deep readers, in which she included her own annotations on her own writing style. The Patchett-ception worked: the special edition raised money at an auction for indie bookstores during 2020, and the endeavor inspired the writer to annotate a copy of her beloved classic Bel Canto as well.
"Alongside this evolution of margin additions, neuroscientists have been researching the cognitive effects of writing, pencil to paper. For instance, a study of electrical activity in the brain published in Frontiers in Psychology found that handwriting itself helps a person remember and understand more about they’ve read and written. Maryanne Wolf, director of the Center for Dyslexia, Diverse Learners and Social Justice at the University of California, Los Angeles, discussed the importance of annotating with NPR in 2022. In classic former-English-major fashion, she paraphrased Marcel Proust in explaining that deep reading allows us to 'go beyond the wisdom of the author to discover our own.' In that vein, marginalia can help the annotator understand the material deeply enough to further develop their own interpretation of the text, she said. In the Journal of Language Learning and Teaching, foreign language professor Demet Yayli of Pamukkale University in Turkey, explained that in writing workshops, especially for genre-fiction writing, deep reading—which includes annotations—is critical in helping students articulate their interpretations and maintain their own 'learner autonomy.' "
