Yes this is true. Though ol Canadian, Tarantino ( not a fan, myself) jumped on this, a bit, by revamping the Spaghetti Western genre of "Django." We are the West. We are the most Western of the West. When you move away from 'civilization', you revert back to a 'natural' law of the jungle and might makes right and atomic, individualized experience where every person is more responsible for themselves and you 'pack up', just like in jail or military or anywhere where weird demographic combos are thrownn together. get yourself a friend or two and defend them. Etc.

The addition of 'weirdness', of course, is only natural as you move away from the known, the civilized and the everyday.

Good post. Probably the best post in the last 12 hours and this should be stickied without a second thpught./ That it hasn't been immediately stickied and then lavished with praise by every person on this board bodes not-so-good for us maintaining our cultural supremacy and basically keeping our edge, keeping it nimble and interesting and being THE source of new memes, not just reacting. Take care fellow traveller! Feel free to share any bookmarks you may have.

The End of Greatness is an observational scale discovered at roughly 100 Mpc (roughly 300 million light-years) where the lumpiness seen in the large-scale structure of the universe is homogenized and isotropized in accordance with the Cosmological Principle. At this scale, no pseudo-random fractalness is apparent. The superclusters and filaments seen in smaller surveys are randomized to the extent that the smooth distribution of the universe is visually apparent. It was not until the redshift surveys of the 1990s were completed that this scale could accurately be observed.
