FAQ
What is the most mysterious area on earth?
Antarctica is one of the most mysterious places on Earth.
This is why we find it so captivating. It is unlike any other place on Earth.
It is remote, isolated, and extremely difficult to visit. It is not what you see.
You will also find some of the oddest wildlife species in this natural wonder.
Let's now see how this amazing destination came to be so well-known for its mystery.
Antarctica: The South Pole
Antarctica is not known by anyone. Some believe it refers to "land of ice". Others think it comes from Greek mythology.
Antarktis was an ancient Greek name that was given to the island where Zeus and his twin brothers, Zeus. According to one source, one of the twins was conceived in winter. Therefore, the name antarctic.
Others think the name came from the Greek words anti, meaning against, and tropos meaning turn. This would be land turned away form the sun.
Whatever the reason Antarctica has always been a fascination for people.
It is the continent with the lowest, windiest and highest temperatures. There are no trees, plants, or animals here because it is too cold.
Yet, the frozen desert is alive with life.
Here, 90 percent live of all species of living things. You can find approximately half the world's species of animal and plant plants here.
And what makes Antarctica such a unique environment? Here water freezes to ice and not evaporates into the atmosphere.
This creates large masses of ice that float above the ground.
These floating glaciers make up 80%. They continue to grow in size each year.
The Antarctic ice has grown 60 feet so far since 1960.
If the melting goes on, the sea level may rise by as much as 200 feet. This could lead to massive flooding across the globe.
This does not mean that everyone is wrong. Some scientists believe that global warming can be beneficial. They claim that the melting of ice sheets could accelerate as temperatures rise. This would lead to flooding that removes tons of toxic chemicals and soil from our bodies.
Others warn that this theory sounds like something out of a science-fiction movie.
Is there a Hollywood blacklist?
There is a Hollywood blacklist.
The list isn’t available for public viewing. As far as we are aware, the names are not even known. But, here's why it matters.
The secretive nature of the information is due to the fact that actors and directors on blacklist won't be in a position to find work. They would go out of business which would mean that studios would lose their money. It would mean they would reduce their expenditure on movies. This would lead to fewer opportunities and less money for blacklisted directors. Which would lead them to go bankrupt.
This could lead to more victims.
When someone tries making an Oscar winning movie they might be asked for a contract. This means that they can't publicly criticize their employer. For any producer or director that wants to be nominated, the same applies.
This is why you'll hear about directors being pressured by producers to take scenes out of their films. Or how directors threaten to walk away from projects that don't fit their vision.
This is why Hollywood keeps a blacklist. If you are negative about your employer, you'll most likely go unemployed. That's bad for everyone.
Problem is, many people have been falsely charged. They've had the toil to clear their name.
We need to stop this kind of thing before it starts happening again. Everyone should have the right to speak freely.
Also, we must take down the Hollywood blacklist.
What dark secrets can Hollywood keep from you?
Hollywood is full of secret societies. Some secret societies are cultlike groups that have strict rules and rituals. Other clubs are for people who share common interests.
However, there are many other criminal organizations that hold much of the industry's power. These include the MPAA (Motion Picture Association of America), the organization that sets film ratings and RIAA(Recording Industry Association of America), the company that sets music licensing fees.
Numerous unions/guilds also represent actors and directors as well as writers, producers, and so forth. Large corporations own most major studios and networks of television.
The point is that no matter how secretive any group may seem, someone somewhere knows exactly what they do. We shouldn't fear these people.
Instead, embrace them. Because they can help us make better decisions.
They can tell us which movies and songs are likely to be successful, as well as what books and novels will be most popular.
These help us to decide what we'll watch, read, listen, and buy.
We can trust their advice and we can ignore it if it contradicts our values.
They are more powerful than ever because we chose to ignore them. They are the ultimate arbiters and judges of taste.
And if you don't like what they say, you're free to ignore them.
So now let's look at some of the lesser-known but still very real Hollywood secret societies.
Observe why they are important.
Why do actors get blacklisted?
When you're an actor, there's more rejection than when you're a writer. If you're an actor, you'll probably get rejected a lot. But it doesn't matter because eventually, you'll find someone who loves you.
Actors are often very talented and can make a living anywhere. Most actors don't care about making money. Actors love acting and storytelling. So if you're an actor, chances are you're going to put yourself out there.
Even worse, you might be told you are too young or too old to play the part. Sometimes, you may lose an audition for a movie. It happens all the times.
Once you've been cast you might also be subject to criticism. You may be told that your makeup is too heavy or you are not worthy of wearing it. If you're lucky, you won't even hear negative comments.
Sometimes, your performance as a fictional character can be ridiculed. Maybe you play a gay man, and everyone thinks you're straight. You could also play a woman with a tendency to cry a lot, even though she's supposed to be tough.
Sometimes they might ask you to change how you speak. Sometimes they ask you to sound like a guy or a girl. They want you to sound better most of the time.
These criticisms should be ignored. Actors often feel like they've failed if they're told they did something wrong. However, they aren't doing anything wrong.
They weren't born with a talent that made them famous. They may not fit the bill sometimes, no mater how hard they try.
There are lots of reasons why an actor could get blacklisted. Some people don't like actors. Some people think actors are lazy. Others think actors are lazy.
Whatever your reason, it doesn't matter. You won't get blacklisted for trying. There are plenty of roles out there, and you'll find them.
As long as you keep trying, you'll eventually succeed.
