wonderful question! what are some films that have genuinely surprised you, that opened up a vocabulary that you didn’t know you wanted to see until you saw it?
It’s happened to me several times, I’m trying to remember specifics. I’ll sleep on it and return later with examples.

I’m trying so hard not to link an example. His paintings transport me into another time and place when I’m seeing them in person and they don’t do that on a phone at all.

Seeing John Singer Sargent’s paintings on a phone is probably worse than not seeing them.
You’ll think you’ve seen them, but you haven’t seen them at all.

Saw them in concert once, outdoors, in the rain, somewhere around Tacoma, in a very muddy physical mosh pit. Layne Staley showed up and joined the band for several songs. I’ll never forget it.

“I’m sorry, replied the stranger in a soft voice, “but in order to be in control, you have to have a definite plan for at least a reasonable period of time. So how, may I ask, can man be in control if he can’t even draw up a plan for a ridiculously short period of time, say, a thousand years, and is, moreover, unable to ensure his own safety for even the next day? And, indeed,” here the stranger turned to Berlioz, “suppose you were to start controlling others and yourself, and just as you developed a taste for it, so to speak, you suddenly went and…well… got lung cancer…”—at which point the foreigner chuckled merrily, as if the thought of lung cancer brought him pleasure. “Yes, cancer,” he repeated, narrowing his eyes like a cat as he savored the sonorous word, “and there goes your control! No one’s fate is of any interest to you except your own. Your relatives start lying to you. You, sensing that something is wrong, run to learned physicians, then to quacks, and maybe even to fortune tellers in the end. And going to any of them is pointless, as you well know. And it all ends tragically: that same fellow who not so long ago supposed that he was in control of something ends up lying stiff in a wooden box, and those present, realizing that he was no longer good for anything, cremate him in an oven. Why, even worse things can happen: a fellow will have just decided to make a trip to Kislovodsk,”—here the foreigner narrowed his eyes at Berlioz, “a trivial matter, it would seem, but he can’t even accomplish that because for some unknown reason he goes and slips and falls under a streetcar! Would you really say that that’s an example of his control over himself? Wouldn’t it be more correct to say that someone other than himself is in control?”—and at this point the stranger laughed a strange sort of laugh.

Plato struggled with the idea of a just government after his teacher was put to death by the Athenians, and eventually he determined there wasn’t a possible just government, but rather a method for building a just community by means of the dialectic.

Good on you for doing your own farming/ranching. There are right ways and wrong ways to grow and deliver what one eats, and it sounds like you are taking control of that variable for your self and your community. That’s commendable.
Don’t you think it’s when prescriptive attitudes and volume delivery take hold that the ways humans eat become corrupted?
I know healthy carnivores and healthy vegans. I know unhealthy carnivores and unhealthy vegans. Polar bears (mostly carnivore) can do well and gorillas (mostly plant based eaters) can do well, right? Like them, humans should probably eat according to their zone as much as possible.
