#which would then ideally lead more people to appreciate the more unique and game-specific games out there that CANT fit the screen

[jettreno]

I assume it’s bc of the tv show but I’ve seen a couple posts randomly dunking on the last of us but for such dumb reasons. “I want to play lighthearted silly games instead of grimdark ones” “I want to play games that are more inextricable from the video game medium, games that are less cinematic” the good news is that those games exist! the last of us is in fact only two games out of the countless video games out there, so I would recommend not playing them if you don’t want to

[paenling]

no ones saying you cant enjoy daniil? people like him as a character but mostly Because he’s an asshole and he’s interesting. the racism and themes of colonization in patho are so blatant

nobody said “by order of Law you are forbidden from enjoying daniil dankovsky in any capacity”, but they did say “if you like daniil dankovsky you are abnormal, problematic, and you should be ashamed of yourself”, so i’d call that an implicit discouragement at the least. not very kind.

regardless, he is a very interesting asshole and we love to make fun of him! but i do not plan to stop seeing his character in an empathetic light when appropriate to do so. we’re all terribly human.

regarding “the racism and themes of colonization in patho”, we’ve gotta have a sit-down for this one because it’s long and difficult. tl;dr here.

i’ve written myself all back and forth and in every direction trying to properly pin down the way i feel about this in a way that is both logically coherent and emotionally honest, but it’s not really working. i debated even responding at all, but i do feel like there are some things worth saying so i’m just going to write a bunch of words, pick a god, and pray it makes some modicum of sense.

the short version: pathologic 2 is a flawed masterwork which i love deeply, but its attempts to be esoteric and challenging have in some ways backfired when it comes to topical discussions such as those surrounding race, which the first game didn’t give its due diligence, and the second game attempted with incomplete success despite its best efforts.

the issue is that when you have a game that is so niche and has these “elevated themes” and draws from all this kind of academic highbrow source material -- the fandom is small, but the fandom consists of people who want to analyze, pathologize, and dissect things as much as possible. so let’s do that.

first: what exactly is racist or colonialist in pathologic? i’m legitimately asking. people at home: by what mechanism does pathologic-the-game inflict racist harm on real people? the fact that the Kin are aesthetically and linguistically inspired by the real-world Buryat people (& adjacent groups) is a potential red flag, but as far as i can tell there’s never any value judgement made about either the fictionalized Kin or the real-world Buryat. the fictional culture is esoteric to the player -- intended to be that way, in fact -- but that’s not an inherently bad thing. it’s a closed practice and they’re minding their business.

does it run the risk of being insensitive with sufficiently aggressive readings? absolutely, but i don’t think that’s racist by itself. they’re just portrayed as a society of human beings (and some magical ones, if you like) that has flaws and incongruences just as the Town does. it’s not idealizing or infantilizing these people, but by no means does it go out of its way to villainize them either. there is no malice in this depiction of the Kin. 

is it the fact that characters within both pathologic 1 & 2 are racist? that the player can choose to say racist things when inhabiting those characters? no, because pathologic-the-game doesn’t endorse those things. they’re throwaway characterization lines for assholes. acknowledging that racism exists does not make a media racist. see more here.

however, i find it’s very important to take a moment and divorce the racial discussions in a game like pathologic 2 from the very specific experiences of irl western (particularly american) racism. it’s understandable for such a large chunk of the english-speaking audience to read it that way; it makes sense, but that doesn’t mean it’s correct. although it acknowledges the relevant history to some extent, on account of being set in 1915, pathologic 2 is not intended to be a commentary about race, and especially not current events, and especially especially not current events in america. it’s therefore unfair, in my opinion, to attempt to diagnose it with any concrete ideology or apply its messages to an american racial paradigm.

it definitely still deals with race, but it always, to me, seemed to come back around the exploitation of race as an ultimately arbitrary division of human beings, and the story always strove to be about human beings far more than it was ever about race. does it approach this topic perfectly? no, but it’s clearly making an effort. should we be aware of where it fails to do right by the topic? yes, definitely, but we should also be charitable in our interpretations of what the writers were actually aiming for, rather than reactionarily deeming them unacceptable and leaving it at that. do we really think the writers for pathologic 2 sat down and said “we’re going to go out of our way to be horrible racists today”? i don’t.

IPL’s writing team is a talented lot, and dybowski as lead writer has the kinds of big ideas that elevate a game to a work of art, particularly because he’s not afraid to get personal. on that front, some discussion is inescapable as pathologic 2 deals in a lot of racial and cultural strife, because it’s clearly something near to the his heart, but as i understand it was never really meant to be a narrative “about” race, at least not exclusively so, and especially not in the same sense as the issue is understood by the average American gamer. society isn't a monolith and the contexts are gonna change massively between different cultures who have had, historically, much different relationships with these concepts.

these themes are “so blatant” in pathologic 2 because clearly, on some level, IPL wanted to start a discussion. I think it’s obvious that they wanted to make the audience uncomfortable with the choices they were faced with and the characters they had to inhabit -- invoke a little ostranenie, as it were, and force an emotional breaking point. in the end the game started a conversation and i think that’s something that was done in earnest, despite its moments of obvious clumsiness. 

regarding colonialism, this is another thing that the game is just Not About. we see the effects and consequences of colonialism demonstrated in the world of pathologic, and it’s something we’re certainly asked to think about from time to time, but the actual plot/narrative of the game is not about overcoming or confronting explicitly colonialist constructs, etc. i personally regard this as a bit of a missed opportunity, but it’s just not what IPL was going for.

instead they have a huge focus, as discussed somewhat in response to this ask, on the broader idea of powerful people trying to create a “utopia” at the mortal cost of those they disempower, which is almost always topical as far as i’m concerned, and also very Russian.

i think there was some interview where it was said that the second game was much more about “a mechanism that transforms human nature” than the costs of utopia, but it’s still a persistent enough theme to be worth talking about both as an abstraction of colonialism as well as in its more-likely intended context through the lens of wealth inequality, environmental destruction & government corruption as universal human issues faced by the marginalized classes. i think both are important and intelligent readings of the text, and both are worth discussion.

both endings of pathologic 2 involve sacrifice in the name of an “ideal world” where it’s impossible to ever be fully satisfied. in the Diurnal Ending, Artemy is tormented over the fate of the Kin and the euthanasia of his dying god and all her miracles, but he needs to have faith that the children he’s protected will grow up better than their parents and create a world where he and his culture will be immortalized in love. in the Nocturnal Ending, he’s horrified because in preserving the miracle-bound legacy of his people as a collective, he’s un-personed himself to the individuals he loves, but he needs to have faith that the uniqueness and magic of the resurrected Earth was precious enough to be worth that sacrifice. neither ending is fair. it’s not fair that he can’t have both, but that’s the idea. because that “utopia” everyone’s been chasing is an idol that distracts from the important work of being a human being and doing your best in a flawed world. 

because pathologic’s themes as a series are so very “Russian turn-of-the-century” and draw a ton of stylistic and topical inspiration from the theatre and literature of that era, i don’t doubt that it’s also inherited some of its inspirational literature’s missteps. however, because the game’s intertextuality is so incredibly dense it’s difficult to construct a super cohesive picture of its actual messaging. a lot of its references and themes will absolutely go over your head if you enter unprepared -- this was true for me, and it ended up taking several passes and a bunch of research to even begin appreciating the breadth of its influences.

(i’d argue this is ultimately a good thing; i would never have gone and picked up Camus or Strugatsky, or even known who Antonin Artaud was at all if i hadn’t gone in with pathologic! my understanding is still woefully incomplete and it’s probably going to take me a lot more effort to get properly fluent in the ideology of the story, but that’s the joy of it, i think. :) i’m very lucky to be able to pursue it in this way.)

anyway yes, pathologic 2 is definitely very flawed in a lot of places, particularly when it tries to tackle race, but i’m happy to see it for better and for worse. the game attempts to discuss several adjacent issues and stumbles as it does so, but insinuating it to be in some way “pro-racist” or “pro-colonialist” or whatever else feels kind of disingenuous to me. they’re clearly trying, however imperfectly, to do something intriguing and meaningful and empathetic with their story.

even all this will probably amount to a very disjointed and incomplete explanation of how pathologic & its messaging makes me feel, but what i want -- as a broader approach, not just for pathologic -- is for people to be willing to interpret things charitably. 

sometimes things are made just to be cruel, and those things should be condemned, but not everything is like that. it’s not only possible but necessary to be able to acknowledge flaws or mistakes and still be kind. persecuting something straight away removes any opportunity to examine it and learn from it, and pathologic happens to be ripe with learning experiences. 

it’s all about being okay with ugliness, working through difficult nuances with grace, and the strength of the human spirit, and it’s a story about love first and foremost, and i guess we sort of need that right now. it gave me some of its love, so i’m giving it some of my patience.

In college, he was known as “Number 70”, playing football with Robert F. Kennedy.

He went on to Harvard Medical School and earned acclaim for his work in psychiatry, and became the first African-American full professor at Massachusetts General Hospital.

A  peak in Antarctica is named after him. He was a commander in the U.S. Navy, and he was also an advisor for NASA.

And though mostly forgotten for his work, he was also one of the guiding lights for a little television program which a survey found that 95% of all American preschoolers had watched by the time they were three years old.

Start guessing.

In 2008, it was estimated that 77 million Americans had watched the series as children.

Still guessing? 

It’s a place where we come and play and everything's A-OK.

The show was set in a fictional neighborhood, on a particular street . . . "where the air is sweet."

Directions aren’t needed, if you know how to get to . . . Sesame Street.

His name was Chester Pierce, he was the senior advisor for the most widely viewed children's program in the world, teaching generations of children not only how to count, but to tell right from wrong, to appreciate their uniqueness, and to be kind to others.

Yup, you and many others probably didn’t know that Sesame Street was partly brought to you by a former football player named Chester Pierce and the number 70 [that was his football jersey number].

~~~~~

In introducing Black History Month for 2021, journalist Joy Reid commented that “the place we got the most affirmation as Black kids was Sesame Street.”

Not many people know that “‘Sesame Street’ has been rooted in African-American culture, more specifically the historically black community of Harlem,” according to the Smithsonian. “The New York City neighborhood played such an outsized role in the development of the program—from set design to casting and marketing.”

“Sesame Street was originally conceived as a show that would bring remedial education into the homes of disadvantaged kids. But Chester Pierce recognized the show’s potential and pushed for it to include a multi-ethnic ‘neighborhood’ with people of color as role models,” according to writer David Beard. “Amid the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., and the riots spurred by racial inequity, this vision seemed especially crucial.”

Pierce, a psychiatrist and Harvard Medical School professor, was the founding president of the Black Psychiatrists of America.

The organization “had been discussing . . .  their lack of representation within the key bodies of American psychiatry,” according to Anne Harrington, the Franklin L. Ford Professor of the history of science and medicine at Harvard University. Pierce “was most concerned about the pernicious influence of one institution in particular: television.”

“It was Pierce who first coined the now widely used term microaggression, in the course of a study in the 1970s that exposed the persistent presence of stigmatizing representations of black people in television commercials.” 

Sesame Street creator Joan Ganz Cooney, who produced a documentary on the Harlem pre-school program that would become Head Start, became “absolutely involved intellectually and spiritually with the Civil Rights Movement and with the educational deficit that poverty created,” according to Harrington.

Pierce agreed to serve as a senior advisor on the new show, working closely with Cooney, one of its two creators (the other was the psychologist Lloyd Morrisett).

“He became personally involved in helping to design a new kind of television show targeted at preschool children,” according to Harrington.

Pierce was “instrumental to the show’s early development and vision,” according to Beard.

This is part of a continuing series on the Peace Page for Black History Month.

Pierce “helped design what he called the show’s ‘hidden curriculum’ to build up the self-worth of black children through the presentation of positive black images,” according to Bryan Greene of Smithsonian Magazine. “Pierce also insisted the show present an integrated, harmonious community to challenge the marginalization of African-Americans that children routinely saw on television and elsewhere in society.”

“It was not only the most imaginative educational show for preschoolers ever designed: it was also, quite deliberately, populated with the most racially diverse cast that public television had ever seen,” wrote Harrington. “All the multi-ethnic characters— adults, children and puppets — lived, worked, and played together on a street in an inner-city neighborhood, similar (if in an idealized way) to the streets in which many minority children were growing up.”

“Radical for its time, Sesame Street presented an integrated society where everyone was treated with respect,” according to Beard. “People of color, such as Gordon, the show’s teacher, and his wife, Susan, were authority figures. That reinforcing message was as important as learning the alphabet and numbers.”

It was deemed so “radical” during its time that “in May 1970, a state commission in Mississippi voted to not air the show on the state’s newly launched public TV network: the people of Mississippi, said some legislators, were not yet ‘ready’ to see a show with such an interracial cast,” according to Harrington.

An anonymous editorial for the Delta Democrat-Times stated that the show had ”one fatal defect, as measured by Mississippi’s political leadership. Sesame Street is integrated. Some of its leading cast members are black, including the man who does much of the overt ‘teaching.’ The neighborhood of the ‘street’ is a mixed one. And all that, of course, goes against the Mississippi grain.”

The state commission would eventually be forced to reverse its decision after its secret vote made national news.

Chester Middlebrook Pierce was born on March 4, 1927 in Glen Cove, New York.

He was the first black to be chosen as senior class president at Glen Cove High, according to Ezra E.H. Griffith, author of “Race and Excellence: My Dialogue with Chester Pierce”.  Pierce chose Harvard because the school principal told him that he might not be accepted there.

Pierce had “fought racism his entire life,” according to Beard.

“In 1947, he was the first African-American to play on an integrated college football team south of the Mason Dixon line,” according to Elissa Ely of WBUR. “That University of Virginia game was racially historic, but the Harvard tackle wasn’t allowed to sleep in the same hotel as his teammates.”

This was “only months after Jackie Robinson famously brought down baseball’s color barrier,” according to writer Jeff Miller.

Pierce’s team jersey was the number 70.

He went on to Harvard Medical School and earned great acclaim for his work in psychiatry. He was the first African-American full professor at Massachusetts General Hospital, and was past-president of the American Board of Psychiatry and Neurology and the American Orthopsychiatric Association.

Pierce “specialized in how people react to extreme environments and racial relations,” according to writer Jeff Miller. “That’s why a peak in Antarctica is named for him.”

It was called “Pierce Peak.”

He was in Antarctica studying soldiers in extreme environments,” according to David Henderson, an associate of Pierce. “I think he spent six months in darkness with them. He’s got a mountain named after him in Antarctica. Like, how do you find people like, how do you do that? I dunno.”

“Traveling the world, he [also] helped African countries coordinate treatment for mental illness in the absence of resources, training and policy,” according to Ely. “That led to founding Harvard’s Global Psychiatry program. His thinking about race and resilience was so broad and deep, he became a professor at Harvard Medical School, Harvard School of Public Health and the Harvard Graduate School of Education.”

“He [also] participated in a civil rights rally alongside actor Charlton Heston,” wrote Miller.

He spent most of his time working with organizations that help to promote human rights, conservation, and youth education.

“Dr. Pierce wasn’t a big researcher; he was a big thinker -- writing by pen until midnight, pausing to catch a TV movie, then up early the next morning for calisthenics and a glass of milk,” wrote Ely.

Aside from being a consultant for the Children's Television Network, he also advised the Surgeon General of the U.S. Air Force, the US Arctic Research Commission, the Peace Corps, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. He was also the National Chairperson of the Child Development Associate Consortium.

~~~~~

Chester Pierce’s vision “had always been at the heart of ‘Sesame Street,” wrote Harrington.

“Early childhood specialists,” he reflected in 1972, “have a staggering responsibility … in producing planetary citizens whose geographic and intellectual provinces are as limitless as their all-embracing humanity.”

“Pierce died in 2016, but his spirit of inclusion lives on in the most successful children’s show of all time,” wrote Beard.

"A place where we can all meet" . . . "where all the doors are open wide."

And, that, boys and girls, is how a former football player, # 70, got to a place where the “air is sweet” . . .  a place called “Sesame Street”.

Orion Digest №41 - A Short Treatise on Orionist Philosophy

While not a topic broached yet, I am of the personal conviction that the methods and structure laid out for eco-socialist federation are of little use without the motive for implementing them. There are those, belonging to the movements from which ESF theory is inspired, who already have their own individual motivations and desires associated with world federalism, socialism, or environmentalism. However, if the point of these ideas is to spread and attract attention so that one day, the ideals of a united and just world may be realized, so too must there be a reason why people should concern themselves with the struggles of others.

A more philosophical piece than others, below is what I consider to be a combination of previously introduced theories as well as an observation on human existence itself, and what I have come to consider the essential theory of Orion - the responsibility we have, as humans, to help others, and the resultant fight for eco-socialist federation that Orion is pledged to take on. I had written this separately from the Digest as a personal essay for purposes of elaboration and cohesiveness between the content of the Eco-Socialist Federalist Handbook and the Orionist's Creed, but I believe it fitting and necessary to publish publicly.

------------------------------------------------

The purpose of Orion is to protect the survival and prosperity of the human race, and should our world expand, all sentient life. We were founded upon the desire to alleviate the suffering of the world, and what followed naturally from that desire were both the means of doing so and the reasoning behind the goal – the ‘how’ and the ‘why.’ The former is our founding political theory – eco-socialist federalism, and the latter our essential moral philosophy – Orionist thought. Both are essential to each other – federation cannot be established unless people believe in the cause, and mere intentions are hardly useful without the necessary action.

Eco-socialist federalism is a synthesis of previous theories of environmental policy, economy, and government, designed to both tackle the problems of our current age and remain as a stable structure long after they are solved. The developments of the Industrial Revolution resulted into an economic structure that has a) grown at an exponential rate at the cost of damage to our ecosystem, and b) shifts power over time to a small population of elites and owners without political confines to implement moral restrictions. Incapable of dealing with the consequences are the various governments of the world, that fight for power through force or policy, and usually side with the wealthy that grant them advantage in the game of nations. The constant threat of war and the economic divide that thrusts many into unlivable conditions feeds into the social divisions that pain humanity, and all the while, the damage we’ve done to the natural resources upon which we depend threatens to wipe us out while we fight amongst ourselves.

Thus, the theory poses political and economic reform on a global scale, in order to strike back at abuses against human rights (prosperity) and to stave off our extinction due to the climate crisis (survival). A democratic government between nations would be formed, with members required to conform to the constitutional standards of rights and freedoms, as well as standardized economic structure. This structure would involve the public ownership of means of production via the democratic state, which would lease resources for use to registered businesses, following a worker cooperative model and required to meet labor and wage standards. The chief policy of this new government would be to aid impoverished areas of the planet while de-escalating the production rates of the most industrialized nations in waves, until the course of every nation’s production was kept low enough to cut back on emissions, until public research and revitalization programs yielded positive results.

The combination of the three approaches would be necessary – economic reform would put some nations at risk of conflict with other nations were it not for federation, ecological action would be ineffective without a long-term change in industrial practices, and a federation alone would still be at the will of those with large pockets without removal of private ownership. While it borrows from environmentalist concerns, socialist theory, and the cause of world federalism, it recognizes that each must rely and feed off of the other if effective change is to be established.

However, while the implementation of such would be beneficial for the whole of humanity, it would still require great effort and cost to do so, and the question arises of why we should bother with taking a fresh start, rather than just letting the snake eat its own tail and to have the species die off. More specifically, some wonder why they should bother themselves with helping others at all. In comes the second theory of Orion, which is properly known as Orionist thought, or Orionism for short.

From the second we are born, we are observing and discovering the world around us, and to know joy is to see the beauty in the world around you. Different people see and appreciate the world differently, but we all have things we hang onto, things we value, and we all try to find some meaning or answer about ourselves from the universe around us, as well as the people we meet. Every person will experience some combination of pleasure and pain in their unique journey that leads them in pursuit of some sort of satisfaction, whether it be to write a book, to see sights, or simply to find peace and understanding. It varies for everyone, but all find whatever they believe to be their meaning and purpose, and learn about themselves in the process. As we possess the ability of empathy, we are able to understand and relate to others, and in them, we can see elements of ourselves – their hopes and fears, their habits and desires.

Since we can understand others, we can understand also why they might shrink from pain, and why they might experience elation at comfort. As we all seek to fulfill our various needs, from physical to psychological, we may sometimes be blinded to the fact that others are like us as we struggle against each other to assure our survival, but if we look past that, we can see others, like ourselves, trying to survive and figure out the puzzle of existence. Realizing that we’re both just trying to make it, we can find some joy in helping others with their own experience, as it is a helping hand that we would want in our own lives. If we would want the pains and burdens to be a little lighter, and for the highs of life to be a little sweeter, we can understand why they would want it as well.

By showing kindness and improving the lot in life of others, we demonstrate the basic concept that we are not alone in this journey, and that kindness does exist. People can work together to fulfill their needs, to understand themselves and each other, and to find that personal happiness. It is not simply about personal benefit – helping others does not necessitate that they help you back. Rather, making the world better is something we must do because we see ourselves in those that suffer, whether we suffer ourselves or fear the possibility of suffering, and we act in solidarity as the change we want to see, as the voice we would want to hear, the hand we would want to lift us up. As we would want our burdens lessened, we work to lessen the burdens of others like us.

It is our responsibility, if we be able, to save the world from destruction and division, for the sake of our fellow citizens today, and for the future generations to come. To do this, we must strive for the establishment and protection of eco-socialist federation, as well as assistance and security to those in need of it. To serve others who, used to the constant fight for survival and the age-old bid for power, might never show us the same courtesy, and to push down our own desires for comfort, we must possess discipline to tame and hone our passions. Anger must become drive, greed must become temperance, restlessness must become patience, and so on. We must be willing to stand kind and firm in the face of the misguided and the grieving.

The final level of Orionist philosophy follows necessarily from the others – if we hold a responsibility to help others, it will require sacrifice to fight and change the world. It is not an easy task to convince others so set in their ways, to take on titans that burn the world and chain the people, to approach age-old empires and get them to side with ancient enemies in one fight, as one people. We cannot wait for gradual improvement, for our devastation of the environment has ensured that we are facing a ticking clock. Thus, it will take dedication beyond a simple afternoon of effort, and very likely, sacrifice of those willing to give their happiness so that many others can appreciate the beauty that they dream of seeing. Our dreams of a united and peaceful world will be lived out by those that succeed us.

The envisioned Orion is an organization that stands from now until its last member, dedicated to upholding and, whenever necessary, fighting for the survival and prosperity of humanity. Its charge is the world; not one specific people, not a select few, but all the world. Its members see the beauty in the universe around them, use empathy to understand the thoughts and dreams of others, take on the responsibility of bettering the world, temper their passions through discipline to better help the people, and are willing to sacrifice so that others may be free to explore themselves and the unending cosmos.

THE YEAR IS 2020 AND I WATCHED NEON GENESIS EVANGELION FOR THE FIRST TIME, PART 13

Episode 25.

I spend twenty minutes after the episode ends trying to articulate what I think happened to my friends, gesticulating wildly.

The episode starts with a condensed version of the last upsetting bits of the previous episode and thus sets the ground for my difficulty in expressing my thoughts on it because of the imperfect intersection of linear narrative and metaphorical examination of selfhood. I've been trying to follow the show as a narrative, even as things dissolve, but here everything just goes STOP NO CONTEXT JUST IDEA AND INTERNAL INTERROGATION which I think I follow but I have difficulty following WHILE ALSO thinking about giant robots.

Something bad happened after the events of the last episode and maybe in the overall narrative structure that's all that matters? I guess this episode is about the question of what the end goals of all the barely understood players are vis-à-vis humanity through Shinji et al.

How can we be our fullest self? What and who informs who that self is? The passive approach, as seen in Shinji, isn't it. You cannot only do what you are directly told to do and you can't intuit what other people want you to do as unspoken directions.

The isolationist approach, as seen in Asuka, isn't it, either. Trying to act and live above and without human connections or direction has made her sense of self the most fragile. She's just a shell projecting an ideal around a core of hatred.

Misato is there as, perhaps, the end result of trying to live life like Shinji into adulthood (the result of Asuka's approach is evident because she's shattered), a projected false self created to fulfill the outside expectations of others while the inner self gets lost.

Rei I feel is the one who is closest to having it 'right' insomuch as there can be a right way to be a human being (and perhaps part of what Evangelion and its characters are grappling with is that there isn't or if there is, it's not a simple thing). She recognizes that who Rei is is shaped by Rei's interactions with other people and the passage of time and I think that Rei 3's apparent rejection or turn on Gendo's influence is because she knows that's not the entirety of it. Everyone is confronted to some degree by the fact that the version of themselves seen by other people is flawed but in Rei's case she's able to know it in a profound way because she is aware of the previous Reis and their memories but also of herself as distinct from them. So Shinji knows her but he doesn't Know Her and much of what Rei knows of others is removed, the Rei deaths and recreations putting a barrier between a direct human connection. The human connection is key but perhaps the degree to which so much of it is abstracted in Rei is why she isn't fully emotionally engaged as a person, even when her understanding of personhood is so much fuller than the others. No human connection leads to Asuka: fragile and quickly destroyed. Shinji recognizes the importance of the human connection, maybe, but fails to enact the how and in its place he has the projections of what he thinks other people want guiding him.

The people in our hearts aren't real people but just manifestations of our self speaking through puppets that look like people we know and can't substitute for human connection and create a similarly false self for the benefit of the false people projections (Misato).

Shinji's fear of being hurt by human connections results in his inability to make human connections and his holding himself up to the standards of imagined human connections which are unsatisfying and disappointing to everyone, including him.

Gendo's Human Instrumentality Project seems to be about recognizing the need for human connections, specifically individuals filling needs for each other that cannot be filled by the individual alone, both for the pursuit of fulfilling the need to find the true self but also taking humanity beyond humanity. I think it's because Gendo has sublimated his grief and sense of loss with respect to his wife into viewing the ability of individuals to obtain fulfillment and then lose it as a weakness that can be overcome.

If all of humanity loses its individuality and turns into the orange tang all humans are always complete and cannot be made incomplete by losing part of themselves. This is too much connection and gross, indistinguishable. What is the point of this if there is no individual?

Right now it looks like all approaches are imperfect and lead to failure, certainly in the context of Evangelion and these characters.

Visually everything is very cool in this episode even though the budget limitations are obvious. The work arounds are creative and inform the substance of what's being said, I think? There's distortion and dissolving and isolated figures on foldout chairs under spotlights.

My favourite thing is how the false characters, the characters talking to the real characters in the chair, are clearly drawn differently, badly, off model. Something is done to indicate their lack of realness, especially the false Shinji in Misato's heart.

I'm sorry if this commentary has become increasingly boring, I'm sorry if I'm doing or talking about Evangelion wrong or badly or pointlessly. I've really enjoyed it. This concludes my report on the penultimate episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

The final episode behind the cut.

Episode 26.

I appreciate the honesty of opening the episode with text that basically announces "look we don't have the time to explain everything so we're just going to explain it as it pertains to this microcosm called Shinji". It's a very clever/honest sort of meta acknowledgement of MAN THE BUDGET OOPS but I feel it's also in a way of framing the psychological aspect of the narrative as something that is not unique to Shinji but Shinji is merely the lens through which something more universal is viewed.

The episode seems to be divided into four distinct sections. The first bit is a ramped up version of the meditative internal discussions that have become increasingly frequent during the series. Interrogation by on screen text asking questions like are you happy, why aren't you happy, what do you want, why do you want this, why do you do that ... some of them very basic therapy sort of questions, others being refinements of that, questions meant to prompt you to look inward for an answer only you have.

But although we're told that this is an examination of Shinji sometimes Asuka is answering, sometimes Rei is answering. Sometimes they're asking the questions. Sometimes other characters are asking or elaborating, unseen.

Previously I've talked about feeling like narrative-wise things have been dissolving, when I try to recall a sequence of events, but here what's dissolving is the distinction between the characters because the experiences are unique but the feelings are inherently universal.

There's a lot of different things going on here, visually. Still portraits, reused footage from previous episodes, repeated shots of a rotary phone with the cable cut really sticks in my mind for some reason, what seem to be actual black and white photos of contemporary Japan. There's a universal quality and it's also how everything around you, all the people and experiences, make up the you that you are, shown with an outline of Shinji that's filled with rapidly flashing poorly imposed images of others that don't fit in his outline. It's cool.

That's when the episode transitions to its second bit which is, like, I don't know. It's a bit student film, it's a bit like that Loony Toons bit where Daffy Duck is talking directly to the animator who can erase and redraw him at will. It's barely animated in parts.

I had this understanding that Evangelion ran out of money near the end and that the last episode was barely animated at all and I think I assumed it would be like how I understand the second disc of Xenogears to be, just ... text because we can't do assets? But it's not. It's unpolished and sketchy and minimal, in spots just pencil drawings or roughly coloured in with markers, at one point it's just wave forms? But it was sad and weirdly beautiful and it felt like an extension of Shinji's internal struggle for meaning and understanding. Maybe because the lack of budget gives it an aesthetic similar to a student or art school film, it informs the material with a sincerity that I feel would be lacking in a more polished, traditional product. The fewer hands that can be felt in something the more /authentic/ it feels.

I, at least, have a greater patience and a great appreciation for something when I feel an authentic quality from it, even though that's only my perception. Form and substance compliment each other here, even if it's just because of budget constraints.

There's a really good part where it's just Shinji in a white void and it's, you know, about how that's the safest because there's nothing constraining him because he's the only thing, but it feels empty because how do we know what we are if we have no references. So a horizontal line is drawn and that's the ground in this white void and Shinji is then standing on the ground and it's reassuring, it's a reality that simultaneously limits your options but in limiting them defines what they are. It's just ... good.

Once things have been completely broken down it's time to I think reassemble them and that's the third part of the episode where Shinji wakes up in an otoge game where everything is good and normal and Asuka's his childhood friend, his mother is alive (but still faceless) and his father ... also exists and is not being actively cruel but hidden behind a newspaper, similarly faceless, existing but known (he's at the table, Yui is in the kitchen with her back always to the camera), Misato's his hot teacher, Rei is the new transfer student ... There's running to school with toast in mouth (from otoge Rei). Shinji's just a Normal Teen (but the normalcy is false, this weird artificial hyper normalcy that contrasts with the sad, raw realness of Shinji's life in Tokyo 3).

That's on the stage that Shinji is watching from his stool in the empty gymnasium with Misato and it goes dark and it's like ... this is another reality but I don't think it's meant to be a quantum thing but an example of the potential of, like, /imagine/ a you who is happy. So this is the fourth part of the episode and it's characters, every single character, interrogating Shinji, pointing out Shinji's flaws, and giving him ... advice? Guidance? A lot of it is ... bad. The characters recognize real problems Shinji has, that Shinji knows he has and then they tell him things which are presented as, for lack of a better term, 'solutions' to his problems of self. But a lot of them are not actionable. Some of them are little more than 'you hate yourself but have you considered ... not hating yourself?'

Much like when Shinji gets praised, once, by his father for what he did in the robot and that is assumed to be good because it's good in comparison to the nothing he's received, the words Shinji gets here are presumed good because they're actual acknowledgement of his problems.

The result is Shinji standing on the earth, surrounded by the other characters, announcing that he is determined to care for himself, and they all applaud and congratulate him and it's weird. It's presented as happy but there's no emotion. No emotion in this climax of a series that has so effectively evoked so much emotion, raw and powerful and real and relatable. It's not happy. It's not sad, either. It's just an absence of sadness. It's this orange tang safety in muted absence of loneliness or danger. I think because Shinji is given good conclusions for his problems (self-worth and love have to come from within, you need to allow yourself to care for yourself or you'll never believe completely that others can care for you) but he's not shown a good path to get there. What people tell Shinji gives him an understanding of what the goal is (happiness) but none of the tools to get him to happiness, something he has no real personal experience with, so the ending he arrives at isn't authentic. It's a false construct, like the otoge realty.

It's not a good ending but I think it wants there to be a good ending and the viewer to recognize when a 'good' ending isn't really good. It's a lot to think about. This concludes my report on the final episode of Neon Genesis Evangelion.

If you’ve followed my reviews for any amount of time, you’ll know that I truly cannot stand superhero movies.  My history with comic books remains firmly in my childhood with such titles as ARCHIES, RICHIE RICH, and NANCY.  I never got into the capes and cowls and radioactive spiders.  Currently, as the genre has literally taken over a huge chunk of the Hollywood studio system, all I think of are glorified video games filled with endless CGI explosions, and characters dressed in Halloween costumes.  Every time a friend of mine tries to coax me into seeing one they feel is better than the others, I usually can see their point, but no matter what, it’s still a superhero movie.  I never remember a thing from them, except for DEADPOOL and those spectacular opening credits.  Even so, I can’t remember anything that happened after that.  

For me, movies are memories.  They’re guides to how we can live our lives, or cautionary tales of what to avoid.  They take us places we’ll never go ourselves no matter how many frequent flyer miles you’ve amassed.  Movies allow me to feel things I don’t often get to feel in busy, commuting, workaday life.  For me, nothing can touch the joy of camaraderie like the “Tiny Dancer” bus sequence in ALMOST FAMOUS.  Unrequited love doesn’t get more bittersweet than Albert Brooks’ “I buried the lead” speech to Holly Hunter in BROADCAST NEWS.  The birth of a unique but short-lived sisterhood doesn’t feel more alive than in that scene where Madeline Kahn persuades Tatum O’Neal to come down from that hill so she can go “winky tinky”. Call me a “Get Off My Lawn” grump, but I don’t ever come away from a superhero movie with anything but a fondness for kinetics…which I can get by staring at my screensaver!

Having said that, BLACK PANTHER breaks new ground, brings much-needed diversity to a very homogenous genre, will inspire generations of people who feel empowered by the film, and actually has something to say about our history with race and the complicated world in which we live.  BLACK PANTHER feels like a revolution, and unlike the one Tracy Chapman talked about, this one does not sound like a whisper.  BLACK PANTHER, directed by the supremely talented Ryan Coogler and co-written with Joe Robert Cole, also happens to be one of the better, if not the best, superhero movie I’ve seen, but, not to beat a dead horse, it’s still a superhero movie. Even though I have forgotten nearly everything that happened in it, what it’s about, the themes it mines remain unforgettable.   One cannot deny the impact this film has and will continue to have on society.  You can actually feel the pride its cast and filmmakers have in this film.  It oozes out of the way Daniel Kaluuya stomps to the beat during the waterfall battles.  You feel it in the focus and commitment to the ideas and ideals presented.  For lovers of the genre, this one is special.  For everyone else, it’s like UNFORGIVEN.  I don’t like westerns, but that one is about as good as they get.  

No need to recap the storyline or keep going on about hating the genre, so I offer these random, stray thoughts instead:

- This is some powerful sound design and music.

- It’s a shame that the title character doesn’t really get his own origin story in this film, since that was covered in another Marvel installment.  As such, he remains a noble, if kind of bland king, while everyone else around him has way more layers.  Chadwick Boseman is no slouch,  but his character recedes a bit with the stellar company he keeps.

- That company includes Coogler regular, Michael B. Jordan, who gives an indelible performance as Erik Killmonger (not a subtle name).  His first scene in a museum employs smarts and a diabolical streak, and is THE scene I will remember.  Jordan is one dynamic star. His character carries so many of the conflicting emotions and ideas, and I found myself constantly shifting in my ability to agree with him and/or despise him.  He has an idea of how to solve the history of racism in the world that’s at odds with King T'Challa / Black Panther's, and it’s an argument worth having. The fact that it’s presented in a big studio movie is stunning, surprising and welcome.

- We’re also treated to an ample assortment of rich female characters, all of them strong warriors.  Danai Gurira (The Walking Dead), Lupita Nyong’o and Angela Bassett all make strong impressions, but it’s Letitia Wright (BLACK MIRROR) who almost walks off with the entire movie as T’Challa’s enterprising, hilarious sister, who acts as a gadget proficient “Q” to his “Bond”. 

- Nick Offerman recently underwent a stunning physical transformation when he popped up on a recent episode of WILL & GRACE.  The same can be said about Andy Serkis, who seems to have gone to a trainer and said, “Give me the Gerard Butler”. 

- Why isn’t Winston Duke on the poster?  He may not be as big of a name as the rest, but his character is memorable and he tears up the screen.

- I appreciated when the Black Panther and whomever he’s fighting in any particular scene would doff their masks, because otherwise, these scenes are the same old faceless, character-free CGI nightmares we always get in the Marvel universe. 

- I wish the ending didn’t include something so hopeless.  I felt the whole story was leading to a type of detente for future sequels to explore.  Without spoiling anything, I wish one character had been given a better shot at redemption. 

- Rachel Morrison!  You go!  She’s building an amazing resume as a cinematographer.  Consider she shot MUDBOUND and this. Step back, and ponder that!

- Costume designer, Ruth Carter, who has excelled with historical dramas and biopics, surpasses herself with her rich, character-specific, Oscar worthy work here. 

- I wish Wakanda existed.  I’d love to visit, or at least try out the inevitable VR ride at Disneyland.  The fact that there WILL be a Black Panther/Wakanda Ride at Disneyland is proof that the times are truly changing.  Walt Disney is surely rolling over in his freezer.

What Is Sports Travel Insurance And What Are The Benefits Of Having It?

As we all know, one size doesn't fit all, and to the end your travel insurance plan may not cover you for all of the activities you would like to partake in as you travel, especially if you're travelling specifically to take part in sports, whether it be for pleasure, as an amateur or a professional.

Sports Travel Insurance covers you for activities which might be excluded from your normal travel insurance and lets you participate with peace of mind that should something happen you're fully covered.

Whilst you might think that having this extra cover may seem as if you're'over guaranteed' the benefits of having a policy which completely covers you for all your activities far outweighs the extra expense.

Activity Top Up

This cover is an add-on to your travel insurance coverage and itemises out the activities you will be engaging in that may typically be excluded. This is particularly beneficial if you're heading abroad for an adventure vacation, skiing, rock climbing, or other activities that might increase your risk over and above normal day to day activities.

Benefits

You've got peace of mind which you are able to participate in any of the activities you want you. Your cover may include medical expenses, repatriation costs, and search and rescue.

Sports Personal Cover

If you're travelling to take part in a contest, if an amateur or a professional, then you will most likely require extra insurance to cover you for your event. All the details of the contest are contained in your policy and the company will urge other cover if they think it appropriate

Benefits

Getting hurt partaking in sports in a different country can impact on life greatly. The benefits of this cover may include rehabilitation expenses, medical expenses, personal injury, professional liability, and repatriation. You can get your policy for a single day, several days, the amount of the contest, or in the case of professionals annually.

Sports Team

If you're travelling within a team, you will likely have a staff policy to cover your journey, but as with personal travel cover, it might not include the sports activity you're engaging in, and as you normally travel together, remain in exactly the same lodging, and participate at exactly the exact same time, it is a fantastic idea to extend your coverage to cover the game also.

Benefits

This coverage will include all of the items of sports personal cover, but it might also have a lower premium as a result of economies of scale.

Corporate Gift Ideas - Sports Memorabilia

Having trouble deciding what your next corporate business gift ought to be? Your not alone. Selecting what types of corporate gifts to hand out can be a frustrating and difficult task that lots of people struggle with. Mainly because choosing the ideal corporate gift can be quite important. Getting it wrong will lead to negative feedback for your organization, as well as the high cost involved. 1 great idea that will certainly be a success is giving out Sports memorabilia.

This sort of gift might not be suited to everybody; it goes over best when given to a sports enthusiast. And you've got to factoring in the price also. Sports memorabilia, regardless of if it's signed jersey, photos or other things, are inclined to be more expensive than your convention corporate gift. Nevertheless, giving out personal gifts such as sports memorabilia into a client/customer or worker has many benefits and just maybe worth the additional price.

Additionally, it proves you've taken a personal interest in what the customer or worker enjoys (i.e. sports). It shows a certain amount of appreciation that can't be accomplished with impersonal or general gifts. This may cause greater loyalty and a willingness to work harder in building a successful business relationship.

Another advantage of sports memorabilia as presents, is they are unique gifts. Unique corporate gifts are unique because they stand out and are remembered for quite a long time. These gifts are often discussed and chatted about to other people. Providing your business with positive word of mouth. The more a company is discussed in a positive manner, the more successful the business becomes.

Sports Memorabilia are also helpful business gifts because the presents don't get thrown away. Many corporate business gifts aren't even used, or worst still, get chucked in the garbage a minute after it's received. So the chances are low that somebody would throw it off. And beside, hardly any men and women throw away personal items they have a sentimental attachment also. Pens, calendars and other conventional corporate gifts have an extremely short shelf life when it comes their usefulness as corporate gifts. Offering a firm with years of positive comments. So if it's within a organization's budget, handing out sports memorabilia becomes a very worth while investment.

Sports Tipping Websites and Advertising

For at least 90 percent of those sports roaming sites out there, a conflict of interests climbs between what's ideal for you and what's for them. Certainly you've been on a web site and noticed that there are a whole lot of sports bookies marketing their services with banner advertisements. 

Does not it seem strange that sports bookies would want to market to players that are apparently getting powerful betting tips from a professional service? The issue here is that there's a lot going on that you may not know about, as a participant. At least 90% of the websites out there earn money from your losses. This works in a fairly predictable manner. 

The website will put up a very specific affiliate arrangement with unique bookies, so that everybody can profit from the operation. In this sort of arrangement, the bookie will give a percentage of your losses back to the website that, through advertising, leaded one to subscribe to their services.

This percentage differs from 5% up to 30% that means, that besides the subscription you pay, the tipping site will also win up to 30 percent of the money you lose. What does this mean to you? It means that the people you hope to assist you with selections might benefit more from the losing than from your own winning. 

This is particularly scary for those players that are putting down big money on each and every match. It doesn't take a genius to see that this sort of agreement is very good for everybody but you. In actuality, it's set up to make you fail and when you need to pay tipping sites for lousy selections, you lose twice and they win double. 

Most these websites will give you bad information if they could get by with it and not only do they have this despicable system to acquire from the loss, but they also have banners which offer"special promotions" like doubling your initial deposit or offering a deposit bonus simply to get your attention and to get you subscribe to a bookie from their site. 

However, there are a number of sites which don't have this kind of setup. We never considered joining this kind of affiliate program with any bookie that's the reason you are never likely to find any bookies' banners on our site. We appreciate our members and we want you to get profit from joining our service that's the reason why we always do everything we possibly can to provide you the best football picks.

Sports Psychology And Baseball: How To Be A Mentally Tough Pitcher

This year's baseball playoffs and the World Series are coming rapidly. As always, pitching will play an integral role in determining which teams will succeed in post season play. Pitchers who will perform well at this vital time of the year demand a special type of physical strength and mental toughness.

Where physical strength is concerned, pitchers who perform nicely in the end of the year have to have energy and power to continue to pitch well after spring training and following a one hundred and sixty two game regular season schedule. Where psychological strength is concerned, the top pitchers understand how to stay relaxed, focused and confident when the pitch in those stressed, post season games. 

They benefit from having control over their array of pitches. They also benefit from being able to get ahead of hitters and from understanding hitters strengths and weaknesses. Previous playoff experience also appears to aid pitchers to adapt to the special type of pressure that's part of championship baseball. But, how can pitchers develop mental toughness? 

Some pitchers use traditional sport psychology techniques such as relaxation training, meditation, self-hypnosis, visualization, guided imagery and pre-pitch patterns so as to perform to their fullest potential on the mound. I teach such techniques to pitchers all of the time. 

A recent analysis by my colleague, Anthony Cinelli at Boston University, sheds some fascinating insight to how pitchers develop mental toughness. Mr. Cinelli, who pitched in school and who has studied the psychology of pitching, approached me a few months ago because he wanted to collaborate with me on some study about mental strength, choking and remaining in the zone. 

We chose to interview pitchers about these problems. Interestingly, ten of the nineteen school pitchers who were interviewed, said that their dad played an important role in their development of mental toughness. Many young baseball players have been introduced to this game by their fathers. So, their daddy t is often their first trainer. 

Therefore, fathers often play an essential role in how a pitcher develops physically and emotionally. A few of the pitchers interviewed also attributed the learning of mental toughness was purpose of watching their fathers behaviour in their professions and in their businesses. Apparently, the young pitchers began to model a few of the behaviours, attitudes and activities which were demonstrated by their dads in the area of work.

In short, they took what they observed their daddy's doing in their lives and introduced some of those attitudes and behaviours to the baseball field. Others pitchers said that fathers taught them valuable lessons about being answerable, taking responsibility and learning how to accept good and poor performances. 

Although this research has a small sample, it does appear to reinforce the importance that ancient learning, relationships between kids and parents and early instruction can have on the development of mental toughness among pitchers.

Sports Tipping Sites and Bookie Advertisements

The majority of the sports tipping website have a conflict of interest in regards to their own business gains and your interests as a consumer. Generally sports bookies use such sites to market their own interests through banners and other promotional products.

Maybe you have thought over the fact that sports bookies are targeting gamers through advertisements once the players may be also having better tips from well researched sports gambling sites? What you may be neglecting to judge is the fact that 85% to 90% gambling sites are in fact making money when you lose!

It's a normal predictable sort of service provided by this kind of scam betting sites. Usually it works by establishing agreements with bookies in order that they can share the gains. The modus operandi is the bookies will cover a predetermined percentage of your losses to the website by which you became its subscribed member for their services. Mostly the payments vary from 10% to 30% so not only do you cover them subscription fee but they also earn another 30 percent from the amount you lose.

Whilst a sports enthusiast, what do you end up with? It just shows that the people you're trusting for great betting tips are earning from your losses rather than assisting you to win. In case you've been putting down large amounts of money with low yields and high losses, then you now know where the money is going. It's easy maths to understand that besides the readers everybody else is in profit!

In actuality, you're losing out twice- once when you subscribe and following when you incur losses based on their setup tips. So you loose double and they laugh all the way to the bank. Aside from making merry with readers losses, they bring more people by rewarding sounding'Special promotions' that appear as double your deposit and receive a bonus on your deposit merely to get you to subscribe to their ill informed bookie. Well, as said, many websites do this but exceptions are always there.

We've got a strong ethical background and don't entertain or consider any connection with any bookie merely to earn money. You won't ever find any banner ads on affiliate programs in our favorite football betting website. To us, our clients satisfaction is of prime importance and would like you to join so that we can allow you to get the most recent football picks and revel in the game.
