This rap... is terrible.
Who thought it was badass.
@Beemann what his epistemology?
*was
Sorry?
his epistemology?
@Dusty Morgan that is awful
They're both within the same overall circle as Rand wrt political theory, which is the comparison I'm using for quality
@Dusty Morgan well, actually the lines before the beat came in were better
@Beemann did they have a defined philosophy or just politics
I agree...
It is when the music came, everything felt jumbled.
With no meaning behind it.
how man should live is more important than what system should man live in
They were trying to throw too many things together in that scene.
Hayek is all about enlightenment values, Heinlein was a libertarian who liked to play around with ideas and ultimately stressed civic duty as a key component of liberal society in SST
@Beemann which values
@Dusty Morgan Well, I think they liked the gimmick, but weren't willing to commit to the relationship damage and discontinuity an actual no-holds-barred rap battle would inevitably provoke.
hes seems pretty shallow focusing on the surface which is politics
thats not the western values
Politics are the application of philosophical values
yes
Can't believe I'm applying this level of analysis to what appears to be a lighthearted cartoon about adolescent pseudozombies

@Beemann let me tell you what the westerns valued that valued happiness and pursuit of said happiness they valued reason as our means to know reality they valued the right of man to be free
Sounds like human values in general
Yes, and that freedom applied to a society comes in the form of rights
@xorgy WElcome to the anime community.
Ayn Rand expanded mostly on this it seems and she tied it all together and maybe them for consistent using reason as a basis for her philosophy
@xorgy WE over analyze anime because we are bored fuckers.
@Beemann freedom comes from philisophy
a man living for others is not free
Depends
on whether or not he has a choice
@xorgy WE don't do it because we hate series, we do it because want to see them improve upon.
Suppose that makes it a bit of a conundrum, because if it's a choice he is doing it for himself.
when you choose to live for others you sacrifice your freedom
Rand's work is pretty Nietzschean, and beyond that, fairly repetitive
And that ultimately depends on what you mean by live for others
