Its really long and not even I have been able to watch all of it, but it deals with this sort of issue.

2018-09-08 17:40:09 UTC  

It's definitely an interesting idea to ponder

2018-09-08 17:40:56 UTC  

If we were able to "transcend" our human limitations for the sake of being something else entirely, (angels from Evangelion, the Reapers from Mass Effect, the Flood from Halo, The Borg from Star Trek, Aliens from Alien, etc.) at what cost is it?

2018-09-08 17:41:03 UTC  

Cost of Aesthetics?

2018-09-08 17:41:19 UTC  

Our own identities?

2018-09-08 17:41:31 UTC  

Our own ideas of right and wrong?

2018-09-08 17:42:24 UTC  

Or perhaps even the ability to distinguish between "Self" and "Other" or to even draw distinctions between objects with boundaries?

2018-09-08 17:45:22 UTC  

This is all reminding me of one of the endings of Bloodborne. In this particular ending, you become a Great One. At that point, you've pretty much abandoned your humanity. You're an omnipotent being who's free to grow and expand, so why would you care about humanity.? The same thing happens in Ghost in the Shell. Major feels trapped, free only to grow and expand within the confinement of her artificial body. So I suppose it all depends on how much potential you want to fulfill

The same problem occurs in Watchmen with Dr. Manhattan.

2018-09-08 17:47:42 UTC  

He is pretty much God and he sees human problems as separate from himself and his own because he already understands everything on the mereological level. He pretty much has a Laplace universe in his head and outside of his head and he knows everything.

2018-09-08 17:48:33 UTC  

But for the purpose of the story, Ozymandias creates a machine that blocks his ability to know everything, yet he is not at all surprised at the end of the movie when we are faced with the final results.

2018-09-08 17:48:52 UTC  

Dr. Manhattan is the only one with super natural powers in watchmen, which is kindah ironic

2018-09-08 17:49:25 UTC  

Yeah lol

2018-09-08 17:49:29 UTC  

Isn't Dr. Manhattan stronger than Superman in the DCU?

2018-09-08 17:50:21 UTC  

He's probably the strongest hero in the DC universe, imo. But I'm biased because he's probably my favorite character next to Batman in the DCU lol

2018-09-08 17:53:54 UTC  

I never really got into Marvel or DC comics

2018-09-08 17:54:22 UTC  

American Comics are OVer_ Rated, Just Stick to Manga

2018-09-08 17:54:32 UTC  

Same, but I did read the Watchmen comic and wrote and academic paper on it.

2018-09-08 17:54:45 UTC  

And I watched the Watchmen movie.

2018-09-08 17:54:59 UTC  

I personally like both American comics and Manga.

2018-09-08 17:56:15 UTC  

american comics have too much Dialogue for my Brain to Handle and Too much Colors on my eyes, i prefer black and white Easy Peasy

2018-09-08 17:56:31 UTC  

lol

2018-09-08 17:56:52 UTC  

The only american comic i liked reading as a kid was : BONE by jeff smith

2018-09-08 17:57:03 UTC  

I remember reading that as a kid haha

2018-09-08 17:57:07 UTC  

I remember BONE

2018-09-08 17:57:22 UTC  

I just had a flashback to elementary school

2018-09-08 18:29:56 UTC  

Do you have a high sexdrive?

2018-09-08 18:31:16 UTC  

Define "high".

2018-09-08 18:33:38 UTC  

Sex isn't exactly at the forefront of my mind so probably not

2018-09-08 18:45:13 UTC  

High- You want to have "SeX" with women

2018-09-08 18:45:31 UTC  

Eventhow you now what women really are

2018-09-08 18:50:45 UTC  

Know*

2018-09-08 18:55:33 UTC  

2018-09-08 18:55:46 UTC  

So, just wanting to have sex with a woman means that you sex drive is high? What if you really only want to have sex with a woman once a year?

2018-09-08 18:56:06 UTC  

I am 24 and a virgin in that

2018-09-08 18:59:14 UTC  

@the adventures male some people mature later

2018-09-08 18:59:57 UTC  

I'm over it. once I was an Incel before Incel was a thing

2018-09-08 19:00:22 UTC  

When I was 23, I looked like 17

2018-09-08 19:00:28 UTC  

Then I dicided that women now dosn;t worth my time and energy

2018-09-08 19:00:51 UTC  

That's the spirit of mgtow!

2018-09-08 19:01:09 UTC
