Psycho pass

>only recent cyberpunk theme so far

good stuff

preview:

>chaos fag gave weapon to mc while having hostage of her friend

lol

overall the show is shitilly one-sided but explains a lot.

dogs will be dogs.

I believe Lain is a bit pandering though I like the aesthetic. Not really philosophical but actually out of all animes I've watched so far - really dismantled the "ego" concept and ascension bullshit. More like "The Matrix" kind of anime.

Also the only interesting character in psycho pass talked about "free will" many times.

Kafka's, a country doctor by yamamura. It's just an adaptation of Kafka so it's got it's existentialist street cred. It's a decent adaptation if you can handle somewhat experimental animation.

Ghost in the shell (1995)

Kind of basic and by the book philosophically, but classic anime, great animation, and of course one of the main visual works that established the feel of the cyberpunk aesthetic along with Bladerunner

Haibane Renmei

Mild surrealism, angst, and existentialism wrapped up in a slice of life. Not overtly philosophical, but what little is there is important.

Eva (tv) is Freud plus Positive psychology 101 shoved into a contrarian("deconstructionist") mecha show.

End of Evangalon ep 1 is Biblical symbolism cliffs notes and Freudian bullshit dialed up to 11.

EoE ep 2 is just Anno screaming at the viewer "GET A LIFE YOU IMMATURE DELUSIONAL VIRGIN OTAKU LOSERS!!!!"

That last one is actually what makes Eva valuable IMO, it's rare to watch something where the director so clearly holds his audience in contempt.

>unexplained scenes like her sister babbling and seeing some shit

You mean the one in the diner? If I recall correctly there was a companion scene to that one, where it was further implied that the "sister" wasn't actually real, but maybe another aspect of lain/or other entity existing in the wired. (I can't find the screenshot but I believe there was a scene that was just like the first, excepting the sister had already disappeared, and the "messages" she saw in the first scene appeared on someone's cell phone. Nonlinear narrative and all that.)

Anyways, while there weren't really clear explanations for everything, I thinPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

So... not apathy at all?

>>6110

That is so cherry picked to fit into that reactionary anti-tumblr mindset on imageboards.

>>5992

What?

Good and bad are not the same as Good and Evil. I was referring to judgments based on personal opinion.

>>6123

Things being Good(R) and Bad(R) are not the same as being good or bad.

Could not agree more. Sometimes it feels so good to do Bad(R) things.

Stoicism negative visualization when brought into words can be very annoying.

Metaphysically? ... perhaps by some theories.

Spengler (although he wasn't a national socialist)?

NAME A BUMP

>>3589

doesn't matter, more of a National Bolshevist

Check out Oswald Spengler and Carl Schmitt if you're into far right ideas.

The range of what is and isn't acceptable as far as male interactions go has become very small today. Look at early photographs and you'll find that dudes touching each other wasn't considered homoerotic back then.

only if they become erect while doing so

if you become erect while they wrestle you are at least a little gay, but that dosnt make wrestling gay

Yes, and this makes both Abraham and Gilgamesh gay.

Correct. You can suck tranny dick and still be straight, as long as balls don't touch.

Literally who.

One too many dimensions, and not enough boobage.

Fuck off to your containment board

Alright, I'll give it a whirl even though the last time I used FB was 6 years ago and only use other social medias for news/keeping in touch in my almost non existent social circle

Call me to arrange a meeting where I will tell you about my blog post that explains what I didn't do.

If I get it I'm doing hard core because I really fuckin need it tbh

Why don't you return to your country?

First time visiting this post and this made me response, even as a philosophical retard.

Hwhites mutts and Europeans indeed have it too good. Even in a place of rationality they can't even reflect upon how and why it is possible that they can sit here and mentally jerk off.

>>5774

spics are the worst. More so than niggers and kikes I believe. Hyper sexualized and lazy. That's why I can't think of any philosopher who came from that shithole.

Nihilism is the foundation of Conservatism

by Brett Stevens

Pity the poor conservatives. Historically, we are those who refused to join the Revolution and instead held that we should preserve what was best about the past and require that “new” ideas be tested before we adopted them. Not like anyone has listened to that of course.

Better than science, this is the past as it happened. It has zero conjectural component, including the idea that what can be reproduced in the lab will somehow occur in life. In 1789, as during the signing of the Magna Carta and the various peasant revolts, society split into two. One side took the “new” idea of equality of all people, which basically means do whatever you want short of murder, rape and theft, and the latter held to the idea that social order was necessary. Hierarchy was more important than individualism, in that view.

Over time the idea of do-whatever-you-want has proven, time and again, to be more popular. It is easier for the mind to comprehend and does not entangle it in any of the troubling details of reality. As a pure thought alone, removed from all else, it comforts us. Each person is important. No person must suffer for social standards, cultural values or something as arcane as identity. We are all one, because we are each the same. You can imagine zombies coming over the hill chanting that, sustained by the sense of being important by avoiding the twin extremes of unimportance and having actually achieved something. If we measure importance by achievement, some will win and the rest lose, but if we go egalitarian/altruistic, everyone wins some importance even if it is paltry and insignificant because everyone else has it. The human mind has not yet evolved to think as many steps forward as it requires to understand this.

In contrast to this stands the conservative idea. Composed of two parts, its first prong is consequentialism or the idea that “new” ideas should be tested and their actual results in physical reality found to be good, no matter how long it takesPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I'm an expat and my experience is less one-sided.

I'm quite wary of immigrants from my country. I'm not the only one. Most of the people in our expat community know this.

There are two sides of the coin:

On one hand, my people are the best. They can help greatly. The level of philosophical alignment is much higher than with people of other nations.

And here comes the problem: They know you too well. They know your weak points. They know how to scam you. They know the amount of abuse that you'll swallow.

This is very similar to doing business with relatives. Generally, they might be close people, but the end result is often disastrous.

It's hard for me to reason about conservatives as I have yet to see one.

Actions of most of the adepts of political ideologies are very different from what they preach.

Same with conservatives. Those who call themselves conservatives mostly try to conserve their power, wealth, authority and part of their backyard. They jump on any untested (or tested and found poisonous) novelty as long as it conserves and strengthens their main values (power, wealth).

I don't know anything about them, but counter-culture in general a shit, and I think you're basically right.

I love Watts though. I don't care for his mysticism, but I love his lectures on Eastern thought and existential therapy.

A good idea that was ultimately half-assed. Probably half-assing it was the rational level of investment, but philosophy could have benefited from some proper translations of Eastern ideas.
