Always in motion is the future… 

Always in motion is the future… The greatest popular culture utterance foregrounding the principle of metaphysical uncertainty ever spoken in a movie designed for mass consumption.

This was Yoda’s answer to the question about the outcome of Luke Skywalker’s Jedi training; and, Like's eventual intervention in THE REBELLION in the movie: The Empire Strikes Back.

Ironically, the Star Was franchise itself falls into the catagory of a future in motion that couldn’t have been foreseen.

Who could have predicted that a movie that was essentially a space Western, samurai movie, made in the tradition of Flash Gordon serials, would spawn the summer blockbuster movie phenomenon?

Who I ask!!!!????

No one could!!!! Because: Always in motion is the future…

No matter how prescient one is, the outcome of any situation is influenced by many random unforeseen forces that cannot be predicted.

And, even when the unforeseen forces are made apparent; and, a new situation arises; this also generates a new blind spots and new random chaotic elements.

Who cold have predicted Jar Jar Binks — the most hated character in the Star Wars franchise.

No one I tell you!!!! NO ONE!!!!!!

FUCK THAT STEP AND FETCH IT COMIC RELIFE DEMI-RASTAMAN!!!! FUCK HIM!!!!!!!!!!

Always in motion is the future…
In 1977 we all asked if the Star Wars movie would have sequel and spawn a huge franchise. At the end of that tumultuous summer, the only answer possible answer back then was: Always in motion is the future…

murderhobo 

In a tabletop game, a murderhobo is a player who murders NPCs indiscriminately. This is normally derogatory, referring to a player who totally ignores quests, dialog, backstory, trade, world building etc.

The term is most common with Dungeons and Dragons, but it can be applied to most RPGs where the player is allowed to kill most quest-giving NPCs and NPC traders. E.g. Elder Scrolls, Fallout, Divinity original sin.

In sales terms, a whale is a prospect that is significantly larger than an organization’s average customer.

Whales are large and extremely difficult to close. Due to their immense size, they are highly sought-after.

A whale is typically identified at first by a whale hunter on the sales team, but often requires cross-discipline participation in order to close; this includes assistance from operations, engineering, creative, client success, and business development teams.
"Shit...the sales director chewed me out on the sales call this morning. He's totally pissed that I have nothing in my pipeline. I've been focused on this one whale for so long that I haven't had time to prospect for normal-sized deals."
