Why? It’s just a Ted X. They are always less curated than regular Ted talks. This one, It’s cinema history basically.

Drivel. Literal. By definition.

Is Literary history or cinema history drivel? Liberal arts? I don’t see it much different from a video essay on a movie trend.

mirrors were coated with silver back in the days, and what is most effective against vampires? silver.

This was almost an epigraph in my vampire novel:
Q: Why can’t vampires see themselves in mirrors?
A: Because they don’t exist.

It’s not a politician that fits in that picture, it’s “the politician”.
The only lives that truly matter are those who respect the lives of others.

I thought this was going to be like 15 seconds long. “Why don’t vampires cast a reflection? Because, they don’t exist!”
@SuperRetroid

The reflection in mirrors was supposed to be the spirit world or souls, that’s why there’s the myth about breaking a mirror (harming your soul) or scrying, which is staring into a mirror to ‘see’ that world.
Hence: Vampires don’t have reflections in mirrors because they don’t have souls.

Mirrors were absurdly expensive, and the servants were fed superstitions to keep their grubby hands off of difficult to replace objects. Irrational fears work far better than beatings to prevent theft of damages.

Huh, I always though it had to do with silver’s association with magic.
@AceKiller9000

Surely the video title is incorrect. It should read:
Why can’t Vampires cast reflections?
@claytonkennedy4187
October 20, 2024 at 3:22 pm
I think it’s a clever nuance choice: the “don’t” implies the explanation of outside agency (writers) vs exploring the self-agency of the vampire itself.
