Stanley Kubrick's secrets in 2001 A Space Odyssey are finally revealed

I first saw the movie, 2001, in Hollywood, California
the summer of 1968, when I was visiting my brother who
was finishing post-graduate work at Cal-Tech. I am a
lot younger than my brother, so he had to explain
the "man to superman" theme and symbolism.

Since 1968... mankind has not evolved into superman,
he was devolved back into apes.

What a disappointment the big event of 2001 was 9-11.
If only 9-11 had been a first shot in a war to usher
in superman... but here it is eight years later and
the degeneracy of man continues to go from bad to worse.

That isn't true ... for every bad there is the good .. plenty of people are reaching their potential .. the rest will be left to do another cycle, and another .. and another

Reading Clarke's book sheds some light on the subject too.

Humanity has degenerated into the most vile, corrupted,
perverted ignorant generation in the history of mankind.

Over 40 years later, my brother is getting ready to retire
from NASA. And want does NASA have to show for itself after
over 40 years... a couple of aging space shuttles and tang.

The man who wrote the famous 2001 music, Also sprach Zarathustra,
his people should have won the war. If they had, their children
would have become supermen and be colonizing Mars by now.

Im thinking about doing it , I don't have the movie but i have allways wanted to understand the movie more ...Is it out on Blu -Ray yet ?

Can you tell me what the Monalith Represents ?

In the commentary Weidner proves that the monolith is the same size as the movie screen. The monolith and the movie are the same!

But it's no surprise who was the brains behind the American & USSR's space programme.

Its distressing to read books from over 100 years ago... "Society" has utterly collapsed. Sure they add words to the dictionary, but if they removed words that are not in frequent circulation it would probably sit around 2000.

But who are we to blame, but ourselves. We have become prisoners to our own desire for pleasure/happiness.

2001 ASO was lame, boring, juvenile - Clarke was a hack.

As my brother told me years ago...
neither the US nor the USSR would have
a space program without Nazi Germany.


And the Germans wouldn't have had a rocket program had
it not been for Goddard and especially Tsiolkovskii before
him.

The space program and most of the great scientific discoveries and most of the great musical and artistic genius's were from one particular tribe -- they showed the possibilities of what mankind could be.

But mysterious forces have been hell bent on destroying that tribe, and it started about 100 years ago. That tribe, and all its knowledge and skill has ceased to exist and we are just coasting along on the momentum that they generated.

LouisWinthorpeIII - Have we devolved? - society as a whole seems to have, but then again the composition of society is quite different to the society that was once great.

The whole of the world will be back to sticks and stones barbarity, happily living like animals, never imagining that there was another way.
