When Jung met the orcas

A weird thing just struck me. The German TV series "The Swarm" is based on a novel from 2004. It´s been in production since 2021 and was finally released in 2023.
Some of the plot elements follow...
Ships all over the world are attacked by whales. Deep sea mining in the Atlantic is prohibited, but a multi-national company does it anyway, with disastrous results. The heroes use submersibles to get in touch with the dangerous "alien hive mind" living in the Arctic Ocean.
This summer, ships have been attacked by killer whales. Some Euro-agency banned deep sea mining in the Atlantic. And some crazies tried to reach the Titantic (close to the Arctic Sea) in a submersible.
More generally, the oceans are fast becoming an impenetrable border due to the supply crisis during the COVID pandemic and the recent food crisis. As if Cthulhu lived there, in the deeps...
I´m sure that´s just a co-incidence, though.
Like when a film released in May-June 2018 featured two characters very similar to Donald Trump and Greta Thunberg. Trump was already POTUS, but nobody had heard of Greta yet...
Just the Zeitgeist.

The bottom of the OCEAN
Some interesting comments on the super-rich individuals involved in the Titan submersible incident, freely based on evolutionary psychology.
Featuring "jolly" heretic Edward Dutton.
Does he actually call the thrill-seeking personality type "OCEAN"?!

Free speech, testing testing
Well, there certainly is free speech on Twitter these days. Note that Elon Musk is among the people "threatened" in this truly dank meme!

What´s in a name?

There is an old piece of lore (or superstition) that no sea-going vessel should be named after the Titanic. That also includes Titanic-like names. There is supposedly a curse associated with these names, which makes the vessels more likely to sink.
And the submersible that just disappeared off Titanic´s wreck in the north Atlantic is called...Titan.
