I just watched “The Edge” for the first time tonight; an older movie from 1997 starring Anthony Hopkins and Alec Baldwin.
The basic conceit of the movie is that Anthony Hopkins is a very smart and capable fellow, and when disaster strikes he manages to get through it because of that.
There are a number of silly and stupid parts, but the central theme that knowledge makes you succeed, when you apply it with the right attitude, is very powerful and relevant to rationalists. It’s not without tragedy, but I felt like it was a good work of rational!fiction.
