inspiring

I thought Japnese people didn't use computers?

>>10971317
Legitimately the best post on /jp/ in years.

>>10971321
They don't.

Okay, so I'm not the only one that seen this.
Good.

Otaku are not 'changing' because you are not changing your view on them. Otaku is not a fact, it is a opinion, and thus entirely alterable depending on the person.

Otaku do not change because you think only those who score unchanging points are Otaku.

If I change I lose.

Those sound like the words of someone who wants other people to adhere to his world views

>>10971338
Goddamn, actually having the nerve to think you're correct about something. That must be horrible.

Shut up anno, you make cartoons for a living.
CARTOONS.

>>10971357

You can't be 'correct' about what's the best lifestyle choice. Actually, you can, but the 'lifestlye' is so incredible other-worldly and impossible that it's silly. The best possible lifestyle, ie the lifestyle resulting in the largest amount of joy/pleasure, would require all the matter in the universe be arranged in such a way that it becomes an organ of your own usage, whose sole purpose is to cause you to feel pleasure/joy/etc.

NICE CARTOON FAGGOT

Can we stop arguing please?

>>10971375
Lifestyle is a description of how one lives life... There is no perfect way to live life. The closest thing to a 'perfect' lifestyle is death, because there is no life, and thus no flaws.

holy ccrap thats deep O_o

>>10971395
le no

>>10971391
The happy life is thought to be one of excellence; now an excellent life requires exertion, and does not consist in amusement. If Eudaimonia, or happiness, is activity in accordance with excellence, it is reasonable that it should be in accordance with the highest excellence; and this will be that of the best thing in us.

I cringed so hard reading that post.

What happened to /jp/ ridiculing those kinds of people off the board? Now they seem right at home.

>>10971375
>>10971391
The best lifestyle is one devoted to serving our Lord Jesus Christ, you heathen freaks.

>>10971406
Why is happiness superior to all other emotions? Certainly it is wanted, but having happiness in an overabundance is not that great.

Argueably the greatest state of 'happiness' is the peak of an orgasm. Would you want to live your life in a state of perpetual orgasm? Would you not just get used to it?

Stop posting.

Anno makes the mistake of thinking that otaku are the ones who need to change. If they are "sick" it's only because the world has made them so. At the same time, I understand his frustration because change in a system cannot occur without precedent change of the individual parts. Ironically, Anno himself has not changed; he's still making Evangelion.

>>10971412
I'm almost certain that it's a satirical post.

>>10971435
Fair enough. In short, there is no perfection upon life, since you are the one who determines the measure of perfection.

>>10971444

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

>>10971432
That's not happiness.

>>10971453
For fuck's sake, dude, that's not me. You're really losing it. That's twice now.

>>10971338
He obviously does, but that doesn't make what he said incorrect.

>>10971493

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD

quote this post if your gay

>>10971324
I made this awhile ago.

Stop posting this hobo and maybe we'll get bored enough to find something more interesting.

Otaku seems like a phase. Its like saying teenagers never change, they're always 13 to 19.

Le deep thinking cartoonist making red hair pedo toons.

>quote this post if your gay

that's "quote that post if you're gay" anon

>>10971523

Japanese otaku don't function like Western 'otaku' who attach to the following for a year, and run around with 'I LOV SASUKE' backpacks, then forget about it next year. Otaku is for life.

Maybe he should fuck off and lead by example.

I don't know maybe stop making anime, and seriously divorce himself from everything related to it.

Thanks, since Japanese are so different from every other human on the planet, I'm glad I could get your input on this subject.

>>10971535

Sorry if it ruffles your feathers to know that being a Naruto fanfiction author doesn't make you an actual otaku.

I'm a Finnish society expert and I know that long-term unemployment tends to cast a permanent label on the individual.

XXXDDDDDDD

truly the most epic thread on /jp/ right now, experts are baffled

I've gone from lazily contemplating suicide to slowly noticing that the horror I feel from imagining the crying faces of my family has been slowly disintegrating in the wake of years worth of rationalization.
I guess that counts.

Why aren't you on tumblr?

>Anno "I fit into the otaku group-or at least I'm an otaku who has opened up. But maybe then I'm not an otaku any more because of that. It's hard to define"

>Anno "If I myself change, then maybe I can find a different approach. I feel, at least for now, that it can no longer be something like Evangelion. Perhaps it can't be that sort of desperate and pressurized work. Something a little bit more pleasant would be good, I think."
