Thinking is lame and just distracts from the enjoyment of reading. Being obsessed with truth just makes you like Erika, unhappy and insecure. The optimal way of reading mystery novels is with no thinking at all for the first read and if you'd like to you can try to increase the size of your brain by thinking about it on the second read, after you can no longer spoil your initial experience with it.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19619850
Not thinking at all before reading the solution is definitely not the proper way to read a mystery novel, which is specifically designed to be challenged. The point is to find a balance between reason and emotion, and to realize that real crimes aren't puzzles for you to try and solve just to feel more intellectually superior.

[Anonymous No.]

>>19619850
The optimal way of reading a mystery novel is having someone else that already read it to share your theories and discuss with. After that, you can recommend the novel to someone else and continue the cycle.

I'm enjoying the Higanbana manga so far

[Anonymous No.]

How is the Umineko manga? A friend of mine told me he's looking for something new to read so I recommended it and I plan on reading along with him, but I actually have never looked into it, I've only played the VNs. Is he going to be disappointed?

[Anonymous No.]

>>19621474
He'll be missing out on the soundtrack and the physical manga doesn't have actual colored text, but I would still say it's good. The iconic scenes are very well illustrated, which almost makes up for the lack of music. It's done by multiple artists and there might be an episode where the art isn't as appealing, but I don't have any issue with it.

Two things to keep in mind:
Episode 7 is different because it makes the meaning behind Willard's words clear, which means you're told the solutions for the murders and locked rooms.
Episode 8 is even more different from the original. Plenty of new and rewritten scenes, and it outright shows you the truth and how Yasu struggled. It's controversial, but I still believe it made a lot of improvements.

Rosatrice was the correct answer this entire time and EP7 and Confession were just red herrings

[Anonymous No.]

>>19623303
Everyone survived, meaning Ange was abandoned by her family and left to be abused by Eva for years and years. Battler intentionally changed his identity and never lost his memories, and Ikuko is actually Rosa who he hooked up with, and the two of them were responsible for creating the forgeries as well as the metaspace fiction of Beatrice the Golden Witch. Which would technically make it Rosatrice.

So I've heard a lot of comparison with Uminekos ending and the ending of Danganronpa and for the latter the creator didn't actually intend to piss people off, but apparently Ryukishi fully intended to piss people off in the former and had to go back on his stance later?

Having the manga fully explain everything when he originally wanted to keep some things unexplained forever

[Anonymous No.]

>>19645844
I don't think it was intended. The truth and complete answer wasn't given in the end, partly because of how much it was emphasized to be important to figure it out yourself as a reader, and partly because of the themes and message of the story and keeping it a sealed "cat box". This ended up being undone by revealing the truth in the manga adaptation some years later. It was still very much possible to solve the mystery, and it gave enough indirect clues near the end that it did everything but outright admit the true culprit and their nature.
What I usually hear people were insulted by was thinking that the unthinking goats that try and ruin the ending in the story were meant to represent them, and that the snide remarks by an author character in the story was Ryukishi's self-insert and real thoughts toward them. Believing that your audience isn't morons and can figure out the mystery seems more like praise rather than an insult.

Including the solutions to all the closed rooms and shit is more a way to get the manga to sell rather than to show that what was said in EP8 was wrong, especially when none of EP8's message was cut out in the slightest

In Answer to the Golden Witch Ryukishi does mention that he screwed up the part with the goats

>R: Exactly. Those goats who appeared at that point really had guts, hadn’t they? It was Will and Dlanor who said that, but I too actually have some respect for those goats who kept on making theories, even though they were attacked by the red again and again. I accept them as adversaries. Who I am really mad about are those goats who actually gave up thinking.
>K: Many people who criticize that scene seem to be missing that Will and Dlanor are accepting the goats as well.

Today's message will be very quick.
Let me know if you need help with Schopenhauer. Most philosophers (especially egregiously Hegel) were insufficient prosaists, but Schopenhauer is elegant and lucid. His semantics follow cleanly, one to one, clear and organized syntax, so that your understanding is not deceived by incessant clausal games. In fact, upon reading a sentence you don't understand, reread it and then slowly splay out every idea in sequence. This works because what he says is useful, and useless/bad terms are often a vague semantic melee (Hegel!!!). In discourse proper, always remember that if a term is "hard to describe," it's probably bad.

>>19645655
There's a reason why the higher you go in philosophy, the closer you get to magic.
A witch (or magician, as the greatest magicians were, for good reason, philosophers first (Wittgenstein, Nagarjuna)) should look to all things in general to develop their magic, as should a philosopher across all disciplines, proximal and extraneous, to know the game he's playing. Wittgenstein's Remarks posit that the end of metaphysics (religion too) is magic, and he's correct. What he said goes in line with the bygone magics we find in esotericism and eastern philosophy.

Let it be known that a magical grimoire is just the musing or continuum of one's developed form of magic sought to be shared or contained, aka a philosophical thesis. How a magician attains magic is with solemn respect to the universe magic has outlined to be drawn by the will, which is just another way of saying metaphysics. I'm considering a real venture into this soon, actually (in a few threads). Maybe I'll write a few pages together.

So so far with Schopenhauer - at least with what I can understand with him - the idea that there's fundamental forces which are more in control of us than we dare think - it seems a lot like determinism to me.

More to the point, he seems to suggest that the only way to truly have agency is to basically deny our natural inclinations and/or kill ourselves. Though he does also provide the enjoyment of art as a temporary diversion.

His philosophy reminds me a lot of the hopeless situation in Berserk, and also Lambdadelta - namely how she is voracious for diversion after diversion to distract herself from her "hell."

I'm curious as to how Schopenhauer relates to magic, since he seems to view the term "magic" as one a simpleton who lacks understanding would use - like the example he brings up of the imbecile at the asylum who - unable to discern why Schopenhauer's eyeglass is able to reflect the scenery before him - views it as magic.

Of course, I myself feel like a simpleton when reading this stuff, so perhaps I'm missing out on something.

Probably the thing that resonated most with me was the concept of dreams and how we can't really dismiss them as being any less valid than the waking world - that is to say, our life is simply put a "longer" dream. Which would also leave open the possibility of an even longer dream when we "wake up" after death.

I've read his 600 pages magnum opus some years ago. Honestly, it is so chaotic, not well explained, and weird that it seems more like crazy rambling at time than a coherent thesis.

I think he meant to say that the primary characteristic of everything in existence is not a platonic ideal, like many philosophers thought, but a platonic movement - i.e the true soul of everything is not an idealized version of itself, but the movement upon which the self emerge by pure illusion (trivial), and this movement is the deepest characteristic of anything (not so trivial). He has a weirdly Buddhist bizarro worldview which could make sense, but is honestly far too esoteric for myself.

>I'm curious as to how Schopenhauer relates to magic, since he seems to view the term "magic" as one a simpleton who lacks understanding would use - like the example he brings up of the imbecile at the asylum who - unable to discern why Schopenhauer's eyeglass is able to reflect the scenery before him - views it as magic.

I'd wager to guess that magic, like everything, is the movement - and in this case the movement to attain magic. Witches are witches because they are trying to be witches, making an idealized witch path's into the world. The fact that magic is construed as magic in the movement of not having an alternate interpretation is strongly Schopenhaurian. There's no idealized "magic", but everything can become magic as long as it moves like "magic".

I don't like Schopenhauer honestly, I never quite understood him. Nietzsche is far better.
