zucc with the deep cuts. Man i gotta watch some satoshi kon movies

With all due respect, I think the interpretation of Rei analyzing Shinjis mind in the movie, BEFORE (key word BEFORE instrumentality actually happens, is not only something I find to be wildly mistaken, but is something I find to also be a interpretation that completely ignores the context of the movie and what Rei is actually doing with Shinji in his “interactions” with “Asuka”, “Rei” and “Misato BEFORE, instrumentality. And this interpretation has involved people throwing some of the most hurtful and shallow insults at people who sympathize with Shinji even in Evangelion like me. Firstly, when Rei asks Shinji “what do you wish for?” and we get the long scene where he is interacting with the “women” he’s known in his life, I have to clarify for the fourth dang time, this was BEFORE, instrumentality. It was not the beginning of it or during it, it was before. Rei in this long scene was looking into Shinjis psyche, his mind, way he viewed reality, and especially the other people around him. This is why I have put these;””” on the names of Shinjis perceptions of Asuka, Rei, and Misato. Because they are exactly that, Projections. Misato, Asuka and Rei are not actually there with him analyzing his mind and looking at how “pathetic” he is. When it comes to the scene where he has the big fight with his perception of Asuka, I believe that to be what he would imagines her to say to him and how he thinks she would treat him. While it also being a projection that represents how he sees himself, whether it be delusional or not. And while one could argue that this could technically be Asuka as it may be accurate to how she actually sees him, again there is nothing that suggest this if you actually look at what Rei is doing with Shinji in the movie itself. Unless you want to interpret it that way of course, but again, context matters. I feel like people will completely ignore the context of Evangelion, so that they can jump onto the train of blind and naive Shinji hate. And don’t get me wrong, it is understandable that people will hate Shinji for the things that he’s done in EOE. But I don’t believe it to be justified. And I especially don’t think it’s justified for calling fans misogynists for simply having sympathy for a character who has gone through such deep trouble as him. In fact it’s something that sickens me and genuinely pisses me off at times. That and some people are out there assuming that people who sympathize or even empathize with Shinji automatically hate Asuka and thinks that she deserves what Shinji does to her. It’s like if I encounter that person I really don’t few like there would be anything to say to them because I feel like they've lost a part of their commons sense. I apologize for my semi-long rant when it comes to this topic but I feel like I just had to say this here.

amazing vid bro rlly deserve more subs

Banger video as always. Parasocial is as parasocial does. You might not ever completely know someone, but that's not as bad of a thing as it might sound. A lot of the time, people don't even know themselves completely. Life and relationships are a process of never ending discovery, my dudes.

Perfect blue is one of my all-time favorites. Satoshi kon and sadayuki murai turned a slasher novel into a complex ride full of mysteries and twists. I completely understood it after reading an article online. This video made me appreciate it even more. Great analysis 👍

absolutely stunning video, love it, and sending love to you mate. keep up these awesome evangelion/life vids.

I saw someone else’s video essay about end of evangelion and they literally said that the ending is a good ending. And that asuka putting her hand on shinjis face was beautiful. I don’t know what those kind of fans are watching. This was straight up garbage. Lmao

How disgusting….the words that summarize the whole vibe going through end of evangelion….humans are disgusting….😢

Watched one of your eva vids and now this so UNDERRATED ALERT like only 300 subs is crazy you do a reqlly good job on your videos i think you deserve at least 20k

English dub makes me want to blowtorch my eardrums.

Shinji did nothing wrong.

end of evangelion was just i can not explain it showed if the last 2 episode matter in the whole series as a true evangelion fan i think that evangelion is emotions that are not expressed

Dub sucks. There, I said it. I feel better.

Congratulations. I loved it. Also, you're valid. Just want you to know that.

Quality videos like this don't get popular but literal minecraft porn for children on youtube is?

First of all, thank you for the video, amazing. I kinda understand most of the video except for the end. Sorry for my stupidity. But I will appreciate if you or anyone else can explain it for me. What are these lines of script? Anno wrote that or it's you? What are the risk of "imitation" and what does "imitation" mean itself in that context? Another thing is the "original" one, I can't grasp the idea behind those lines. English isn't my native language so I hope it will be explained in a simple way. Thank you.

I like watching Evangelion, but I can never recall what happens story wise.

In a way I feel that EoE is what would have happened if Shinji didn't go through the final two introspective episodes

As someone (or more, a pile of people) with dissociative identity disorder, I can just say with confidence that lain lines up as a pretty good representation of this. The weird setting is a result of what extreme dissociation does to your perception of reality Honestly there's a lot in there that's just... idk how to really describe it properly but it feels like I'm seen, and I see things in there and know those experiences the scenes pertain to, the only other media that's really done that properly are Inside Mari, Moon Knight, Fire Punch. Lain just feels like a system's experience reading something like Akira while at the same time discovering they had DID and later after sorting things out (very unhealthily by the looks of the ending) made an anime inspired by the experience, even the 'villain' lines up as an experience with a shitty therapist Also btw there's (at least) 3 lains we can identify in the anime (The shy clueless one, the confident shouty one, and the shitty asshole one) so y'know the whole thing you got going here needs a bit of a rework

im gonna subscribe now, I really like your style. dont change

Amazing video man, Evangelion means a lot to me and you did it justice.

Your a rad dude Zucc1n!

Nice video

Thorfinnnnnnnnnnnnnnn 😭😭 His progression is just one of the most gratifying things to seee

Yoko Taro said my favorite game Nier Automata borrowed heavily from Eva, which made me watch this masterpiece again after watching and not understanding it as a kid. Then I realized my previous favorite game Xenogears borrowed even more from Eva. Holy moly Anno is a legend.

I’m with you on hating shinji from EOE. To me EOE is an alternate ending to evangelion. The reasons I think this is because the instrumentality project in EOE is far different and more nihilistic compared to the television show. Another reason is that shinji is a completely different character from the TV show. The hospital scene, and him choking asuka really made me hate the movie TBH. Like I just genuinely think Shinji would never do any of those things Idk the instrumentality project in the television series was better IMO because it actually helped Shinji move on and be happy with himself. Unlike whatever the ending in EOE is supposed to be. The rebuild series made me fall in love with Shinji as a character again, it’s so relatable and I love it. the rebuild series is MY end of evangelion.

Beautiful video, I share your opinions and feel that Evangelion has touched my heart in the same way. It’s my favourite piece of media ever, I love it dearly. This video you’ve made has put all of the things I’ve also thought into words beautifully. Thank you for this, your videos are amazing

In spite of this analysis being quite good. . . . . . Doesn’t really change the fact that 4.0 is pretty much a terrible film.

Nah, EoE's ending was perfect as is. Eva's full of anger and sadness, as is EoE...until the very end. Just the touch of kindness Asuka showed Shinji was enough. Rebuilds gutted Asuka and Rei's characters, shoved in a pointless fanservice pilot, utterly destroyed the mother's soul-Eva-child pilot connection and replaced it with NOTHING, reducing the Evas to monsters that fight other monsters, and ended with Shinji skipping to adulthood lead by the bland fanservice pilot with whom he had no chemistry. "Metanarrative" is an excuse for shallow, sloppy writing, compared to the original. Anno put his heart and soul into the original NGE and EoE. The Rebuilds were nothing more than a product.

What do you think of chainsaw man?

0:07 alright brother im curious what is this

That one anime made to sell toys that also has shinji in a bunch of episodes is the real evangelion lol

Congratulations.👏

I don’t know what to say but I do know I enjoyed and relate to Eva and this sentiment

I took away from the rebuild, Shinji went back at the end of Evangelion and tried to redo the ending. Hence the similar scenes in the Rebuild movies.

As an asushin shipper the last rebuild movie was a travesty

The main problem i have with the rebuilds is that they're great movies ! Just not great evangelion ones But i gotta be honest , this actually helped the last movie a ton . Plus this vid made it even better and ay it is also what Anno wanted , and i respect that .

I wanted a new evangelion movie or a series

Thank you for making this video. I've been going through a very difficult time in my life. And it's only gotten harder due to the death of a family member. I feel like I'm stuck standing still, because I'm afraid if I try to move forward things will get worse. That I'll just be in more pain, that I'll fail again and be stuck remembering yet another bad thing forever. But seeing this video has convinced me to try. To move forward, to ask for help, to talk about things and to not simply run away from life by refusing to take a step forward. I appreciate you being authentic with your feelings in this video. I understand how frightening that is. To feel passionate, or strongly towards something, and to have those feelings rejected or mocked by others. It's a risk that's worth taking though, because that's what holds the greatest personal truths. Thank you. I'm glad I found this video on accident.

Great outlook my man, always go forward 😊😊 respect

It feels like the creator of the series grew and so did his creation. I personally loved the ending because it chooses to show how love and connections matter. It shows that there are many continuities and that they all need to happen for the characters to grow.

I'm happy the algorithm recommended this to me just now. I can tell this is a work from the heart. I binged the entirety of NGE last summer in a couple of weeks. I just wanted to experience one of the great classics of anime, but more and more, largely thanks to people like you making vidoes like these, that Eva means so much more. Thank you for showing me that!

"Hope you kept your heart when it's all said and done, better run Did it for yourself That's when you don't become just another one I hope you kept your heart when it's said and done, better run Did it for yourself, that's when you don't become just another one" - Young Lean on Still in the album Psykos Didn't know they were Wittgenstein pilled like that

great video, really enjoyed it! very well made!

dude you got distracted half way through the video

9:40 wrong. Rather, it is that the physical is privative of real actual gnostic being, AKA Pleroma, which Sophia created a demiurge out of which fragmented out of the Pleroma into nothingness. This demiurge took this divine Pleroma and trapped it in privative inexistence of the physical world. (alluding to neoplatonist description of hyle/matter as privation of hen/One/Good/Monad) The pneuma or consciousness/soul/"heart" is the spark of the divine trapped in man, which the demiurge encourages to dilute by endless incessant breeding. Jesus Christ then came as the snake in the garden to man to make man realize the rot of the Old Testament God, for the apple of the knowledge of Good and Evil reveals the Demiurge to be a false god for he is not Good.

9:05 also look into Hegel, Hinduism, Plotinus' "On the Gnostics", Schopenhauer, Ancient Greek conceptualization of nature as evil chaos outside good orderly patriarchal civilization, and Inmendham's efilism.

3:05 read Hegel

2:48 evolution, in the brainstem, each mutation and shift in the brain is so because otherwise such a form incapable of doing so wouldn't be so as it would be dead. Each good mutation necessitates a pile of genetic dead end carcasses for everyone not having it. This has happened since abiogenesis

1:30 Hi. We do. Look into predictive processing, cortical columns, synaptic pruning, and Hebbian learning. Basically, the brain is a large folded-in area of 2 mm thick grey matter called the cerebral cortex, which is made for and directly jacked up to executing coordinated muscular movements, whereas muscle, bone, and fat make up around 75% of weight in a healthy modern man. The remainder are mostly the viscera, i.e. the digestive system, and the cardiopulmonary system. The viscera pushes food through a tube with gastric acid and microorganism which together make food into a liquid paste goop which is then squeezed out blood pumped into it, which is then pumped and shoved through the liver to maintain a barrier between the body and the contents of the viscera as well as to transform the squeezed out chemicals metabolically into something usable by the body. Then, it releases into the bloodstream, and is pumped into the heart which sloshes all the blood together and gets pumped over and over in all corners of the body where it dissolves and takes up again and returns to the heart again over and over, whereas going in the heart it is pumped twice, not just once to continue the flow of blood in the body, but pre-pumps it into the lungs to let sacks of hemoglobin which make up half of blood the other half being water into the lungs so that they can free up carbon dioxide and get in oxygen, so the blood while carrying various biochemicals of glucose and such is primarily a form of letting the entire body constantly be breathed oxygen into. Why does the body need so much oxygen? Because it burns coal. Yes, it oxidizes carbon, in the form of glucose, to make ATP, primarily to charge muscle movements by letting it reset from contractions. So what you basically have is movement. Humans are unique in the sense of having hands and the most developed eyes in the animal kingdom. So what you basically do is you move around using vision and then you manipulate the world using vision using your eyes, i.e. eye-to-hand coordination. Then you utilize shared space with other humans to birth sound into it using your voice to be able to share thinking with others, that is to say language, which is significant in that sound unlike sight is not oriented it is passive, you can't turn your ears away from a sound nor focus it anywhere. Sending signals to muscles takes very few nerve fibers, though. The drastic majority of neuroscience outside the brain concerns itself with perception, primarily touch, sight, and hearing. Touch works through a large amount of Merkel cells, sight works through a large amount of cones, and hearing works through a large amount of hair cells. Hair cells are unique in that each hair cell listens to a particular frequency of sound by the clever mechanism of the structure of the cochlea. Whereas cone cells have 3 different wavelengths they are sensitive to and average out color from nearby different sort cone cells, but primarily being coordinate. And touch is similarly coordinate. The space of touch is your body, most especially your lip and ridiculously largely your hands. The space of sight is your visual field which are two 2D surfaces overlapped over each other to make 3D vision by seeing the difference of them. So basically you feed a ridiculous amount of tactile texture, sight, and sound into a shit fuck ton of cortical columns, which is the brain itself. In those cortical columns is encoded a prediction of what is supposed to come into them. This prediction is in the form of memory. Memory is in the form of synaptic weights. Synaptic weight is modulated by the NMDA receptor glutamate activity over time mediated by the hippocampus. If what is coming into them mismatches that prediction, the synaptic weight changes in accordance with the law of Hebbian learning: neurons that fire together wire together. This is in accordance with Humean contiguity. That is to say neurons that are in time contiguity, space contiguity, and similarity wire together. The direction of the wiring is irrelevant given the structure of the cortical column, but basically can be said to be decided by which neuron fires first then wiring to one which fires after them. This is the primitive form of causality. This structure of reality perpetually rebalanced by prediction error in terms of synaptic weights is what thinking is. The brain holds in itself a reconstruction of reality, akin to the medieval microcosm-marcososm distinction, and like the mystics of that time, the aim is getting rid of the difference between the two, such as to minimize one's inherent error in the image of the universe in the form of the microcosm as is for example exposed by Paracelsus and Hermeticism. These cortical columns are encoded in a hierarchy. They exert a top-down influence over the prediction of reality. Error propagates up into them if it is strong enough to over-come this top-down influence of expectation of what the world is supposed to be. The higher up the hierarchy you go the more you interrogate and loosen fundamental beliefs and assumptions a person makes and has. And in formal science, that is to say mathematics (and logic), fundamental assumptions is all you have stripped of empiricism. What you see as objective reality is then this reconstruction of external reality within your internal microcosm of expectation of it perpetually interrogated by new incoming information, which primarily serves to execute appropriate dexterous hand movements, and moving in space from place to place using your legs. To aid in this reconstruction and coordinate it with the reconstructions of others (failing to do so makes you "live in your own world") you communicate using language, basically spoken using your tongue and mouth and voice box etc. being the case until the invention of writing and typing, with books basically being just people speaking monologues at you. People love to be pretentious about reading books contrasting it with the stupidity of oral communication, but books are just a way to keep down people speaking monologues at you on pages. I realized this with audiobooks, because listening to an audiobook is in a certain sense identical to a real life storyteller in an oral tradition if it is narrative. Your parietal cortex reconstructs a geometrical space of some sort. Your prefrontal cortex is the peak of this predictive coding hierarchy, it suspends and deals with judgement, and it inhibits behavior, orienting it instead towards a long term strategic planning of behavior with goals and behavior over long spans of time. There is nothing of the human besides the brain. And the brain is this. What a human is is revealed by the muscular impulses of their brains given certain conditions. It is not exhaustively what being a human is, but it can pretty much be taken as a revelation of it. You are what you do. Basically literally. The World War 2 and gulags have revealed humanity to be monsters. Rapists, torturers, traitors, scammers, and murderers reveal the depth of human rot in each man. But benevolent acts reveal the graceful good in each man as well. Or it would be, but what causes the overlap across persistent behavior arising life circumstance within the larger world is inherited and distributed normally. What one is are one's genes which manifest in the world by these such behaviors. Limited by the limitations and affordances of one's environment behavior, of course. Genius is wasted in a jungle. The fundamental structure of these overlaps at the deepest latent variable level are plasticity, stability, and IQ. IQ is just brain fitness, it is as if inheriting immune system strength, so it is not as vital. Plasticity is governed by dopamine and stability is governed by serotonin. Serotonin strengthens circadian rhythms and increases resistance to distractions, decreases aggressive impulses. Plasticity is the extent of engagement with the world and information in it. So yeah, we do know how the brain works, no need to mystify it. :D
