If James Bond is meant to be the best secret agent in the world, how come all the bad guys in the World seem to know who he is?

Other people here are suggesting that “he’s an assassin, so he doesn’t have to disguise himself”. That doesn’t mean he has to be very flashy about his lifestyle or identity either. You don’t see many military snipers going out of their way to disclose who they are when they’re in service (afterwards that’s a different story).

The easiest explanation is the out-of-universe one: James Bond was created as the ultimate male fantasy character. A badass operative who goes around the world to exotic locations, get to know (in both sense) sexy women, and fight evil up close and personal. He was created in post-World War 2 Britain where the conditions were rather dreary, so he was an escape from reality and as such was never meant to be realistic.

Being recognized for your work also makes you feel good, so why not go all the way in by making James Bond known and feared by evil-doers around the world? Isn’t it great to be feared by villains? Let’s face it men (and boys), can you honestly say that you never, not even once, fantasize the Bond life? I’m not going to pretend that I never.

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.
