#history begins the evolution & it can be unclear whether it takes a telephone route a degrading route or an improvement route

After I explored Atlantis (The Lost Empire) on such a deep level (Milo Thatch moment/j), I encountered a lot of things I cannot unsee. Honestly...in this day and age I'm convinced we reached a point that there's so many stories in existence that it's impossible to read and watch everything. There is a fair chance we may even accidentally rip-off something without being aware of it. To me...rip-offs are a paradox of concepts. Concepts keep lasting when they're made into a metamorphosis process (aka. "rip-offs"). I don't think we have the lifespan to literally read and watch everything so we have all the information to avoid copying off each other. It's just our jurisdiction to point out whether something truly is original or not when we're unable to even fathom everything we created in our lifetimes and generations. Media is an endless paradox itself just as creation is. Media is made the same way life is. We evolve, whether we enjoy it or not. This is a really tragic reality. My question is: do we know the original source or has it been completely forgotten from existence? We can easily debate what can be the original source. Some things we can differ easier than others, hence copyright is present. Some stories are more memorable than others and that is how some are easier to compare than others. For those who want to know the true Atlantis: it is ourselves.
