Nah. It looks pretty trippy. Was it good?

arnold was ahead of its time. too bad those times are over.

While I would not go as far as to describe myself as an absurdist due to the fact that I find many aspects of life to have inherent value such as harmony, development etc, I find both the freedom of it's concepts and the amount of interesting ideas within the movement to be startlingly rich in reading material.

The emphasis on impermanence and the emphasis on a strict way of life in Buddhism can be both off putting and sometimes detrimental to me, part of why I favour Zen Buddhism over other forms of Buddhism, due to it's emphasis and championing of harmony and transcendence through creation.

I'm not a great fan of Ayn Rand, I see the merit to some of her work and can appreciate her prose and concepts of liberty but I find her too objective in her ideals to the point where they disregard a sense of spiritual or emotional equality and peace. Perhaps that is exactly the merit of her work but it's not to my taste.

I have much of the Greeks to read but so far I've found the works of Plato to be fascinating in their depth. When it comes to English philosophy, I find John Milton's self described purpose to "justify the ways of God to men" through Paradise Lost to be extremely profound and gives the work both an added depth and a stronger amount of personal resonance. What I've heard of Thomas Hobbes is fascinating but I've unfortunately yet to begin reading his works, the same with the other philosophers you listed.

Haha cheers and hmm.
With philosophy, I find absurdism fascinating (particularly Albert Camus' views on it) in it's removal of inherent value and find Zen Buddhism's advocation of peace of mind and spirit while also championing art as a means of spiritual enrichment to be very close to my views.
There are elements of Libertarianism I definitely am close to but I'm not familar with it enough to identify it with it.

How about you?

Hey dude, not much but cheers for asking. How about you?
I found you while looking through the reviews of EoE, seems we share a lot in common as I have a deep interest in philosophy and psychology as well.

Hey, I read your recommendation about Another on Shinsekai Yori. It's actually the other way around for me: I've watched Another, and am going to give Shinsekai Yori a try. I wanted to thank you for helping me in making up my mind. :) Anyways, I love your 'About me' section. It's deep and the words used are pleasing.

A fantastic piece of writing, sir. I applaud your stylistic and informative review on Steins;Gate. Very impressive wordplay.

Yes indeed. No, I did not watch the OVA as I had no further interest in watching the show.

No problem, aku no hana is a Bildungsroman, a very good one at that. It is all about breaking down psychological barriers we place in our head and let our true selves out. It is primarily focused on decadence and lust. Yeah, I finished genealogy of morals awhile ago.

H20 was a piece of shit. I hated it lol. I though mirai nikki was ehhhh overall.

Been alright, just preparing for college n stuffz. Watched Aku no Hana, I think you will like it alot if you get past the artstyle.

Sup bro, its been a while.

Good stuff, good stuff.

Thanks, it if from an Eroge that I really like, and I feel you would like it as well.

Very well said. You need to write a book about philosophy, I am sure it will go down in the history books.

Oh, and I often scour the internet as well. I apologize if you thought I was ignoring you or anything. I do that often.

And thank you, I feel that you are a good friend as well. I learned a lot of new ways to look at world now. Thanks a lot.
