Language is complex, and when abstract or nuanced concepts get lost in translation, the consequences may be catastrophic. Given the complexities of language and cultural exchange, how do these epic miscommunications not happen all the time? Ewandro Magalhaes explains how much of the answer lies with the skill and training of interpreters to overcome language barriers.

Talks at Google

Game developer Carolyn VanEseltine visited Google's office in Cambridge, MA to encourage everyone to make their own video games.

She spoke about how the increasing availability of free tools (such as Twine, Construct 2, GameMaker, and Inform 7) makes video game development accessible to non-programmers , and why that matters, looking at video games as an art medium and a mode of expression, particularly for minority voices.

Carolyn VanEseltine is a professional game developer and a game dev hobbyist, which overlap in some ways but not in others. She's been in the industry since 2001, with credits ranging from Rock Band 3 and Dance Central to Revolution 60, but she's also the award-winning developer behind more than 20 interactive fiction games. She blogs about the art and craft of game development at www.sibylmoon.com .

You probably already know two of the things we love rambling about most, at Wisecrack,

So, today we’re going to take a look at two films that are full of superheroes and

big philosophical questions: The Incredibles and Incredibles 2.

Since the release of The Incredibles films, there has been much digital ink spilled over

its philosophical themes, with much of it pooling around one idea.

Namely, that The Incredibles is making an argument for objectivism, a philosophical

Advocates for this reading point to the emphasis on the exceptionalism of the supers and the

implied critique of egalitarian society as evidence.

And while we see where they’re coming from, — If the time comes, you'll know what to

While there is undoubtedly some objectivist color to the films, their true philosophical

importance is the way in which they consider the question of power.

From the moral responsibility of having super powers, to fans going insane due to a desire

for power, to the power and influence of the media, these films pose questions that are

“No one man should have all that power.”

Welcome to this Wisecrack Edition on The Philosophy of The Incredibles.

But before we get to that, a Mr. Incredible-sized thank you to our sponsor.

Best part is: it’s absolutely free to get started.

In the first movie, Mr. Incredible’s scorned former fan Buddy wants to be a super, but

since he’s a normie, he decides to use technology to kill them all instead.

Taking on the villainous persona, — I'm Syndrome!

— Buddy plans to use Mr. Incredible to optimize his own personal death machine, the Omnidroid.

Once perfected, he plans to defeat it in public, so that society will see him as a hero, and

eventually he can sell his technology as a product, so that everyone can become super.

And as we all know, When everyone's super... no one will be.

Mr. Incredible feels neutered and aimless as a result of the Superhero Relocation Program,

Me too, kid. — and secretly returns to the superhero game to curb an impending midlife

He even questions the point of the egalitarian spirit of Dash’s elementary school.

He is moving from the fourth grade to the fifth grade.

They keep creating new ways to celebrate mediocrity, but if someone is genuinely exceptional—

But he eventually comes full circle, as he realizes that his power isn’t just for feeling

like a badass, but instead makes him responsible for the good of society.

In this parable about power, we see that great power unchecked by great responsibility leads

Incredibles 2 continues this exploration of power, but shifts the focus to the considerable

The brother, Winston Deavor, is a lifelong superhero fan who wants to use his media influence,

and his seemingly endless piles of money, to repair the supers’ broken public image

and change the laws so that they are legal again.

While his sister, Evelyn, wants to use said influence to mind control supers into doing

horrible things, thus ruining their public image and ensuring that people don’t put

Alright, so in order to discern why the film has been read through the lens of objectivism,

we need to first figure out: what in the hell is objectivism?

The basic tenets of Randian objectivism are: the ability of human reason to gain objective

knowledge of reality; the moral aim of human life is to seek personal happiness;

 man’s being is heroic in nature; and and that free market deregulated capitalism

is the socio-economic system most suitable for this happy heroism.

So basically, the philosophy of Ron Swanson.

His business is failing, and you're bailing it out.

We might usually associate heroism with those who use their powers to help others, but for

Rand, a captain of industry is a better example, as they are the ones who make the world better

simply by willing their own power and proving their superiority.

Randian superheroes don’t wear capes, but rather, neatly pressed suits with Italian

Now, according to a whole bunch of writers, this is just the sort of philosophy we find

Normal society represents the meaningless egalitarianism which tells us that everyone

is special and that it’s bad to be exceptional.

The supers represent Randian heroes; frustrated by society’s obsession with fairness and

Only when they are able to don their mask and tights are they able to will their own

power and find happiness in their own strength.

But rather than advocating for objectivism, these films shine a light on the types of

problems that come from this inherently selfish philosophy, through the failures of both Buddy

They explore a number of interesting philosophical ideas in relationship to power and responsibility.

If anything, the films may be an exploration of what happens when “keeping it Rand goes
