people laugh at harry potter for being so dreadful but this is just as bad. He too has just taken an encyclopedia of the occult, thrown it up in the air, writen down a few exotic sounding words cobbled together this drivel. It isnt empowering to pretend that children can OR SHOULD comprehend, let alone take on evil at its source. Its a very bizzare media habit at the moment to super-empower weak and powerless people.
The very essence of life is to emrace ones total impotence over everything . Bloody typical of a middle class academic guilty rich "liberals" with an easy life to obsessively fetishise this kind of massive fake over-empowerment. And frankly i think its dangerous!
August Boal had interesting theory that Aristotolian catharsis was a very bad thing for society, it relieves people of their revolutionary passion, like people who talk about politics at dinner.
