This is an impressive song from a technical thrash metal band Believer, from their 1993 album Dimensions.

The songs starts slow (acoustic guitar), with rather/many philosophical quotes from acclaimed atheists and/or anti-Christianity philosophers.

These lyrics are difficult to keep track of, but I found it impressive how a band brings such a perspective on philosophies.

Lyrics are in one color (blue) and quotes/references are in another color (green).

Please do not be impressed by me (this poster is not a poseur - hah, nor dumb). It is just that much research is now easier thanks to the CoPilot add-on to browsers. But it still takes considerable time to dig into things.

Lyrics

Reason argues the existence of God If the incarnate was crucified The dialectical paradox concludes That God has already died [1]

[1 Reference Thomas Altizer (The Gospel of Christian Atheism) – He was known for his Death of God theology, arguing that traditional conceptions of God had become obsolete and that Christianity must embrace radical transformation. He was deeply influenced by figures including Nietzsche, Hegel, and William Blake.]

The very nature of man's independence Implies accountability for one's actions [2] My decision to be free or not to be Reveals the magnitude of my freedom [3]

[2 Reference Jean-Paul Sartre (Being and Nothingness) – Sartre emphasized existential freedom, arguing that humans define their own essence through choices rather than adhering to a predetermined divine plan. He was a staunch atheist in his early years. Interestingly, some scholars have noted that Sartre’s concept of nothingness (le néant) has theological roots, particularly in Christian doctrines of original sin. His existentialist framework, while explicitly atheistic, engages with theological ideas in ways that reflect deep familiarity with religious thought.

[3 Reference Ludwig Feuerbach (The Essence of Christianity) – He proposed that God is a projection of human nature, that religious belief reflects human consciousness rather than an independent divine reality. That divine attributes—such as wisdom, love, and justice—are actually human qualities, projected onto an external being.]

Chorus Where is the wise man Scholar of this age? Their dementia calls From their dimension

[Reference: 1 Corinthians 1:19-20 “For it is written: ‘I will destroy the wisdom of the wise; the intelligence of the intelligent I will frustrate.’ Where is the wise person? Where is the teacher of the law? Where is the philosopher of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world?”]

Freud argued that God is but mere illusion Our need for some cosmic comforter To resolve our deepest childhood neurosis A belief based wholly on an unfulfilled wish [4]

[4 Reference Sigmund Freud (The Future of an Illusion) – He viewed religion as a psychological construct, shaped by human desires and fears, particularly the need for a protective father figure.]

Or is this world a random occurrence A change reshuffling of matter? Particles in motion in a corner of the universe The origin of life and evolution an accident? [5]

[5 References: Multiple references. Jacques Monod (Chance and Necessity) Stephen Jay Gould (Wonderful Life) Richard Dawkins (The Blind Watchmaker) David Hume (Dialogues Concerning Natural Religion)

All these people assert that there is a lot of chance and randomness in the origin and nature of existence.]

Where is the wise man Scholar of this age? Their dementia calls Leading men to the grave

Where is the wise man Scholar of this age? Their dementia calls From their dimension

Yes, I still have more to say!

At 4:05, the electric violin was unexpected in an extreme metal album.

Like many other extreme metal musicians - they have surprises.

Gorguts for example. Its lead singer and guitarist, Luc Lemay, studied music composition from nuns for an album. He mentioned this in an interview. Now that, will (and should) raise your eyebrows a few feet above your head.)

That will be a separate post. (Something as impressive as this cannot be put as a side/secondary note. Now, that's an impressive musician. If you get to see him anytime, anywhere, do say a hello to him - as a well wisher. He's from Canada.)

A BTS picture of Robert Sheehan taken by Jeff King that was reposted by @thesheehab caught my eye when it popped up on my insta explore page today. It lead to me to go to Jeff King's insta and check scroll back to find more and there's some really cool photos and videos on there. I really love these photos of Robert and Genesis re-centring between shots (the one of Robert being the initial repost I saw.

And this one of Aidan speaks for itself.

Also found out that the actor who plays Herb also plays Pogo! Did people know this? I had no idea.

But what really caught my eye was the caption on this photo of Justin H Min

I'll be honest I lost interest in this scene a small bit after Steve Blackman revealed that its Sparrow Ben (I'd initially interpreted as a new, third version of Ben who had never been adopted). I know the subway is obviously relevant and important since he was born on it, and obviously there's the question of why he's in Korea, but knowing it was Sparrow Ben removed a lot if thr mystique surrounding this scene. I did notice the subway theme of the teaser poster which hinted at some importance related to Ben, but hadn't thought about it much.

This caption though had me hyped! It suggests much more significance to this shot than I honestly thought there was. It's so exciting to know every little bit of has meaning. Also, I'm aware rewrites happen over the course of filming so it's not surprising that the finale changed overtime, but I'm do curious about the different set ups and versions of this scene and how the finale changed over time, especially when the season already had to be partially rewritten due to COVID restrictions.

I feel like I read somewhere ages ago that the book Ben is reading is about pottery, and the line he is on is the exact same one he was born on, but other than that I don't know anything. Anyone have any ideas or insight?

I'm a big fan of the theories around Sparrow Ben somehow getting Umbrella Ben's memories or the Ben in this universe in fact being an amalgamation of both Bens. There's not really an evidence that points to this, this except for the teaser poster using Ben throughout but then saying Sparrow Ben in the part of timeline where it says he met the Umbrellas, and the fact Ben's hair is styled like neither Brelly or Sparrow Ben in the tiny bits we've seen of season 4 so far (yes I'm aware the latter is a reach and a half but let me live in my delusion!).
