A recent comment here on this website (about 20 minutes ago) reminds me of a pretty good scene from it.

[disclaimer: I pirated it, I don't normally steal, but frick apple and Foundation is too important to the world of sci-fi for me not to at least check it out and to see how its interpreted]

The problem is, Foundation is notoriously unadaptable. Firstly, the series operates on a massive scale that would frighten most filmmakers into turning tail and running the other way. The first installment alone spans 200 years, while the series writ large transpires across 600 years. Second, Foundation is a novel of ideas, not of characters. Most mid-century works of what scholars call βhard science fictionβ share this trait: these are high-minded stories of weighty intellectual themes, which prioritize airtight scientific rigor over character-driven narratives. Foundation is a brilliant series, but you wonβt find much in the way of character development or emotional beats here; what youβll find are scantily sketched characters, most of them white men, conversing at length about the fate of the Galactic Empire. If youβre looking for epic space battles and wrenching character deaths, look elsewhere, because in the world of Foundation, most deaths are just the casualties of timeβs inexorable march. In a cosmically massive story, they barely merit a paragraph.

Benjamin "Benjy Bong" Britten was born on in Suffolk, a county of people who speak like the DVLA sloths in Zootopia.
Britten's entire life revolved around his hatred of something called the "pastoral": a word he seems to have primarily used as a slur against the Irish.
While hating the Irish is understandable, the only thing worse than a Mick is a Bong and many Bongs of note (John Hurt, Daniel Day Lewis, Peter O'Toole and Spike Milligan to name a few) have pretended to be Irish to save embarrassment but being called "Britten" makes it hard to do that so he claimed he hated the bog trotters.
Among the many works of note Britten composed was "Peter Grimes" an operetta about a man standing on a beach lamenting his daughter growing up to be a weird, sweaty, untalented also-ran who fricked a Sith Ifrikan Mikka Hakkinen lookalike for his money.

Oh god I would give up everything if heβd be a CEO of a big tech company... Heβs literally the most intelligent person I know, and after reading basically every post of his, every other human I encounter just seems so stupid. Literally every single person in the world should read Aevann's posts, you can learn SO much from him.

We have a whole site where you can coordinate whatever internet shenanigans we want with impunity, yet we haven't been taking advantage of it lately. I haven't been seeing enough bait subs, brigading, account suspensions, etc. Did we even have anyone participate in the Southwest Airlines raid? There's more stuff to do than rant about πs, you know. Gotta pump up the autism.

"Many different traits of the German character, distorted by the terrible mirror of Hitler's regime, find expression in this camp. Thus the delirious ravings occasioned by fever are an ugly, distorted reflection of what the patient thought and felt before he was ill. Thus the acts and thoughts of a madman are a distorted reflection of the acts and thoughts of a normal person. Thus a criminal commits an act of violence; his hammer blow to the bridge of his victimβs nose requires not only a subhuman cold-bloodedness but also the keen eye and firm grip of an experienced foundry worker."
