I’ll try again in reply to the roght comment: “NRS social grade” is a UK demographics thing.

The search term you’re after is NRS social grade. It’s a UK demographics thing.

Ivan’s Childhood; although all of Tarkovsky’s oeuvre is worth it.

That’s Alan Turing the traitor as played by Sherlock Holmes?

It is a film with a great list of cheap tropes to avoid.

I’m a mathematician too. They’re probably speaking from an intuitive grasp of utility.

Yeah, but still - the elephant.

I care about my friends, and if they want to talk about it, I’m happy to listen.

Depending on what the thing is (eg, potential new person) they can be inherently interesting too.

The Tarot of the Bohemians.

I think it’s fairly parochial, and sounds quite infantile to me. Growing up (uk) we just used clockwise to tighten.

“I love life on Earth… but I love capitalism more.”

That was my, admittedly bitter, point, yes. You do have to wonder what the hell weretcollectively playing at.

We live in a world of plenty where we still produce enough food that nobody need go hungry.

It does make me wonder about quantum suicide.

The Sixth Sense.

Thank-you.

And 51 feels prime. Someone sgould write a letter.

The lazy autosm-washing aside: Turing went to his grave never speaking about his accomplishments - still under the OSA at the time. He was neither involved with the decision to use or not, things that were discovered via cracking enigma. The acts that film lays at hia door in the sake of some lazy drama repreaent a vilification of his character.

Historically speaking it’s a lazy character assassination.

It’s “revelation,” singular. Like trivial pursuit.

The story is at least semi-plausible, but Turing also still had friends in the right places (not enough to dig him out of the hole he got himself into with the local plod*) and there was a strong social taboo around suicide.

(* At the time there was good reason to believe that the end of the outlawing of homosexuality was just around the corner, so offering a genuine explanation was not necessarily Turing acting as such a naif as is often portrayed.)
