"The song's original title was simply "Silent Running"; the name extension was given when the song was chosen to appear in the 1986 movie On Dangerous Ground, which was titled Choke Canyon in the United States. The single was re-released in the UK in January 1986 to tie-in with the film, and peaked at No. 21 in the UK charts. The song was banned by the BBC during the Gulf War due to its address of war, nationalism and religion, as well as a direct reference to weaponry in the line, "There's a gun and ammunition just inside the doorway."" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silent_Running_(On_Dangerous_Ground)

"December 7, 1933. Court Lifts Ban on 'Ulysses' Here. By THE NEW YORK TIMES. James Joyce's "Ulysses," a novel which has been banned from the United States by customs censors on the ground that it might cause American readers to harbor "impure and lustful thoughts," found a champion yesterday in the United States District Court. Federal Judge John M. Woolsey, after devoting almost a month of his time to reading the book, ruled in an opinion which he filed in court that "Ulysses" not only was not obscene in a legal sense, but that it was a work of literary merit." - https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/books/00/01/09/specials/joyce-court.html

Lyrics

It hurts every time we fall
But your worth, it doesn't change at all
It hurts (hurts) every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth) doesn't change at all
Doesn't change, doesn't change at all
Pigeon steps, cause and effects
We hit another wall, take another fall, retroflex
I can detect the high pressure, failure is an odd treasure
It powers the future endeavour
Where we take on the world together, eh
Unless you fight the inevitable
You'll never know if it truly was
So let's fight it!

It hurts (hurts) every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth) doesn't change at all
It hurts (hurts) every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth) doesn't change at all
Doesn't change, doesn't change at all
You can't (you can't defeat me)
You can't defeat me, yeah
You can't defeat me
Feeling frozen, forward motion
We hit another wall, take another fall, seize the moment
Disaster ain't predetermined any more than love and learning
Even when cities are burning, I feel our strength returning, eh
Unless you fight the inevitable
You'll never know if it truly was

It hurts every time we fall
But your worth doesn't change at all
It hurts (hurts) every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth) doesn't change at all
It hurts (hurts) every time we fall (fall)
But your worth (worth) doesn't change at all
Doesn't change at all

Torah / Bible "Genesis 11:9 attributes the Hebrew version of the name, Babel, to the verb balal, which means to confuse or confound in Hebrew. The first century Roman-Jewish author Flavius Josephus similarly explained that the name was derived from the Hebrew word Babel (בבל), meaning "confusion"."

"Us and Them" (Pink Floyd song cover) performed by Lucia Lilikoi, lyrics: Up and down... and in the end It's only round and round, and round. "Haven't you heard it's a battle of words?" The poster bearer cried

You are welcome. Joy.

"Speak to me of summer, long winters, longer than time can remember, The setting up of other roads to travel on in old accustomed ways. I still remember the talks by the water, the proud sons and daughters that Knew the knowledge of the land, that spoke to me in sweet accustomed ways." - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=886Wxionims

That’s some sci-fi nonsense.

All things are science fiction, haven't you heard? It's a battle of metaphors and words.

Thoughts on James Joyce's why, why publish to the public with mass media of books and magazines?

My answers are many and many times recursive. Alas, I still try to ponder and try to compose some English and metaphor symbols to describe it...

"That is the meaning of love. In the final analysis, love is not this sentimental something that we talk about. It's not merely an emotional something. Love is creative, understanding goodwill for all men. It is the refusal to defeat any individual. When you rise to the level of love, of its great beauty and power, you seek only to defeat evil systems. Individuals who happen to be caught up in that system, you love, but you seek to defeat the system." - Dr. King, Jr., Martin Luther (1957-11-17).

Now take that idea throw it in a stew with James Joyce's ideas...

"I confess that I do not see what good it does to fulminate against the English tyranny while the Roman tyranny occupies the palace of the soul." - James Joyce, "Ireland, Island of Saints and Sages," lecture, Università Popolare, Trieste (27 April 1907)

And you end up with a Gumbo Stewing of your own life experience and the Tower of Babel metaphors of metaphors [email protected] and you start to see.... well, how do we all, we the people, we the animals of this Pale Blue Dot, love each other and not go into rage over systems of English and systems of Bible storytelling, and systems of Interpretation like Protestant vs. Catholic, and systems of comprehension, and systems of teaching? Do we pass down the whole dictionary and memorize it, or do we create an ever-expanding Wikipedia or series of Super Wiki systems like a series of books by James Joyce... and we keep expanding those until we have a complete Tower of Babel Super Wiki system, and we can look-up all the Public Library of all the world in an organized place and not just go into Catholic vs. Protestant hate the non-believer, hate those you disagree with, dehumanize those you disagree with complete ass-backwards reading of poetry and metaphors.

Then again, I often miss the central point of things. I wish more people would be loving of the human and less of the systems. Some might say the Holy Quran and the Bible, the Books of Love and Compassion teachings are inkblot art-metaphors tests, Rorschach tests, and you can read / reed / earworm hear / earwick anything you want into James Joyce's writing or The Bible or Upanishads.... some might say that.

"The first example of electronic countermeasures being applied in a combat situation took place during the Russo-Japanese war. On July 13, 1904, Russian wireless telegraphy stations installed in the Port Arthur fortress and on board Russian light cruisers successfully interrupted wireless communication between a group of Japanese battleships. The spark-gap transmitters in the Russian stations generated senseless noise while the Japanese were making attempts to coordinate their efforts in the bombing of a Russian naval base."

“If all information is seen as part of a war, out go any dreams of a global information space where ideas flow freely, bolstering deliberative democracy. Instead, the best future one can hope for is an ‘information peace’, in which each side respects the other’s ‘information sovereignty’: a favoured concept of both Beijing and Moscow, and essentially a cover for enforcing censorship.” ― Peter Pomerantsev, This Is Not Propaganda: Adventures in the War Against Reality, 2019
