Dude! That music! It’s like a composite of half the music I’ve ever enjoyed, a ton of different influences. I’m surprised I don’t remember it but then again I saw this film 20 years ago.
I like how you started this, I also find that most ideas aren’t so original that someone I know couldn’t have come up with it or I couldn’t have come up with it. There are patterns that anyone can observe, of course it’s impossible for us to observe all of them in one lifetime and our interpretations will depend on our experiences…
But still I feel philosophy as a subject tends to overcomplicate things either because the philosophers aren’t as good at writing as they are at thinking, because they want to impress people by making their ideas sound more complicated than they are…or maybe I’m just dumb and have a short attention span.
I don’t know much about the official definition of dualism and it’s tradition. I have a lot of experiences that make me lean towards non-duality, but for me that doesn’t imply anything atheistic, rather, if there is anything like a god, it is not separate from us. More specifically, nothing really exists except consciousness, and consciousness got so bored it imagined everything else into existence for fun. Something like that.
Btw What other anime do you like? I am wuite sure our taste overlap st least 50%
I've been listening to this on Youtube (a much older video and lower quality) seemingly since I was a kid. I can't remember not. Ironically I don't think I ever saw the movies at the time I discovered it and used Kazaa or some ancient shit to torrent the series which I loved. But like you, SO long ago I barely remember the details.
I think my tastes are basically 'the good ones'. 99% of anime is utter garbage for me, I wrote about that before too. But that 1%... phew.
Classic things like... Full Metal Alchemist, Death Note, Attack on Titan, Code Geass. None of those ridiculous 17,000 episode filler ones, maybe except Dragonball Z heh.
Well there's definitely truth to that. Philosophers historically are people in a place of privilege sufficient enough that they have all day, every day to sit around thinking.
So they're not exactly 'connected' with the common man when they say what they need to say, and often quite hypocritical about the things they do say (Look at Marx, a man wholly incapable of understanding basic economics in his own life and was, ultimately, entirely benefiting from capitalism for his luxurious and elite lifestyle he squandered out of sheer incompetence.
So yeah, They often think better than they can apply it, for sure.
