Diogenes is one of my favourite philosophers of all time. He is the ancient troll. Not only did he throw the chicken into Platons lecture, he also did many other things. Like, how he wandered around the street with a lamp in his hands in broad daylight, and when people asked him what he was doing, he answered that he kept looking for an honest man. Or when he was chilling in his barrel (yes, he lived in a barrel) and wanted to fetch some water to drink with his cup, he saw a child drinking from his hands and was like *a child has beaten me in plainness of living* then he proceeds to yeet the cup and used his hands to drink water from the river. Or when Alexander the Great (mind you, this guy startet to fight in wars since his teenage years and was a general with 16, who led thousands of soldiers to war) visited him to fulfill a wish for him (you can look up why) he asked Diogenes if he wanted something and he said *yes, stand a little out of my light*. Alexander was struck by this and was impressed by his haughtiness who had nothing but scorn for him. They joked about Diogenes but Alexander said *But truly, if i were not Alexander, i wish i were Diogenes*. And many more 😊

[@cj_oolala]

bro troll so good, people see him as a philosopher

[@peacefulbystander847]

What sets Diogenes apart, in my mind, is that he was at least creative and consistent in his trolling. Modern trolls don't use their brains, they just spout random nonsense to get a reaction.

23:57 As a Japan railfan, some stuff to clarify: There are WAY MORE than 2 train companies in Japan, even within the JR system (similar to National Rail), not to mention the private companies. What I think Connor is trying to say is that the Shinkansen (high speed rail) system is divided into two systems, separated at Tokyo station: the JR East/Hokkaido system to Northeastern Japan, Hokkaido and Hokuriku, and the JR Central/West/Kyushu system to Nagoya, Osaka, Hiroshima and Kyushu. They have separate toll gates and train sets, with different electric systems due to separate electric frequency between east and west Japan (50Hz vs 60Hz AC) 26:31 Hearing Connor hate the current Japanese sleeper trains (Sunrise Izumo/Seto) actually makes me kind of sad, since Japan used to have a pretty great selection of sleeper trains, including the 'Twilight Express' from Osaka to Sapporo and the 'Cassiopeia' from Ueno (Tokyo) to Sapporo, with steak dinner, nice beds and good service, along with the cheaper 'Blue Trains'. The vast majority have since been retired, and now the only way to experience high quality sleeper trains is to splurge for the tourist oriented 'cruise trains', such as the JR Kyushu 'Seven Stars in Kyushu', the JR East 'Shiki-Shima' or the JR West 'West Express Ginga Premier' and 'Twilight Express Mizukaze', all of which are bloody expensive and notoriously difficult to book. I do hope Japan does revive a more affordable yet good sleeper train service to more destinations, that is easy to book and satisfies more people, like how the Austrian OBB does with its Nightjet service in Europe. For more information in travelling in Japan, I recommend checking out the channels Kuga's Travel and Solo Solo Travel. Also do visit the Japanese railway museums in Omiya, Nagoya, Kyoto and Kitakyushu, they are excellent!

57:46 This is wrong, there were NOT 23 movies released by Pixar since Coco, that was including short films and such, there were eight films released after Coco, they were: - The Incredibles 2 - Toy Story 4 - Onward - Soul - Luca - Turning Red - Lightyear - Elemental

Soul is fantastic and got hampered the most cause of COVID. I'm also a big fan of Luca and elemental, as well as thinking onwards and turning red are good additions (i know people who really like turning red, even though i wasn't big on it). But it is true that ever since toy story 3, Pixar has been more hampered and released some real stinkers, however they've also released some of their best with Coco, Soul and inside out. I've also heard great things about inside out 2, so Pixar do make great stuff it's just rarer now unfortunately and their standards have been lowered, especially with sequels being pumped out

The Japanese business script is so real. Last visit, I ended up with food poisoning and felt it coming on. The room at the hotel we transitioned to, had a check-in time of 3p. I asked the staff if the room was ready, around noon. They said, "Yes, it's already cleaned and prepared." I can feel my stomach turning, so I ask them if I can check in sooner due to not feeling well. The entire front of house staff just stared at me like I had pulled out a weapon. They panicked and kept trying to see if they could contact regional management for advice. Eventually I had to excuse myself and spent the rest of the afternoon in the lobby bathroom unable to leave or move until my room was ready. 🥴 The staff must have understood the severity once I came out hours later to be walked upstairs... and so they sent me a gift basket with stomach medicine and hot towels.

You know, anytime I hear people complain about fandoms being toxic or annoying on twitter all I can think is thank god I don't need social media to enjoy stories.

[@chinaman8888]

What I think Garnt was trying to express in response to Connor asking him "why does the number of infinite scare you", is that humans have managed to invent an idea that is impossible for us to ever accurately measure/grasp/visually represent. There is now an abstract concept that will forever be beyond our ability to control, and we as a species instinctually try to control everything we encounter. It becomes terrifying when you think "what if this concept is actually true and not just some thought experiment, what if there is something in the universe that this idea actually applies to."

1:39:43 There actually is a (very well-known) horror movie about infinity-- kind of. Apparently, when the author of Bird Box (yes, the book that spawned the Netflix movie) was creating the "bird box monster," he was inspired by the concept of infinity. I think he said he'd heard somewhere that if a human were to hypothetically truly comprehend infinity, they would go insane, and that inspired the monster. I'm sure the idea evolved when the book was being written, and even more when the movie was being made, but it did stem from the concept of infinity. Just thought someone might enjoy this knowledge lol

Infinity also gives me an existential crisis. E.g. when you think about the fact that after you die, you'll be gone forever - infinity. It's not just a long time, it's infinite, and it's a big difference, and even though it doesn't matter and to our brains it's basically the same, when you try to think about it, it's kind of scary.

Physical immersion is a different beast. I went to horror escape room recently, it was styled as catacombs, we started blindfolded, GM walked as through small corridors for like 5 minutes, handcuffed us to a wall and left us after monologing the intro story, generally: lots of crawling around in small spaces, sceletons, timed puzzles, I had to close myself in a space that was like 50x50cm and cut my way back in order to see a clue, and of course we were chased by a 'murderer' with an axe that did sparks when he hit the ground. It was bloody terrifying, and it's regarded as easy and not that scary. There are ones that go way way further and hit harder. And like, we were safe, handcuffs were plastic, there were big red stop buttons in every room and hidden cameras/intercoms so you could ask for help with riddles and shit, but I don't know if I would ever do it again. When you're playing a game you can just close it, or just turn around in your chair and bam, immersion broken. Without that barrier it really hits different. Also, people can be assholes, when we were chatting about other escape rooms he said he went to one with his friends, one of them was very easily scared so they asked not to scare her and the actor decided to ignore it and go extra hard on her. Nothing bad happened to her, but jesus, that would give me PTSD.

One of my favourite documentaries is Peter Jackson's "They Shall Not Grow Old". It's a collection of remastered WW1 recordings of just life on the frontlines and over them recordings of survivors are playing. There's stuff described there that has never been remade in a film, like how they went to the toilet or how they wasted a ton of ammo just shooting rats because there were so many it was hard to walk (on top of the knee/waist-high mud and bodies), or how they had fun playing cards or having sports games. There's no narrator or story, it just starts with a clip slowly being colorised and a guy starts speaking, and then there's an hour and 40 minutes of that until the end. Probably the most unbiased documentary I've ever seen, it's literally told from firsthand accounts

1:19:50 i think garnt maybe prefers ancient history because he wants to be detached from the horrors of what happened. Because the horrible shit we did is documented so much, if you are so curious about that time, you have to be like connor where you take in the horror as part of the thing that is tickling ur brain to learn more. I thought about that when I was reading kingdom. The shit that was happening is so cool. The tactics, the mind games, the backstabbing, but then shit like kanki's massacre happen and i am like i preferred when we were doing the other stuff and not feeling me with despair.

[@nicktankard1244]

It's exactly the same with train tickets in Germany. Was so annoying when I lived there. It was crazy to me that if you buy a ticket it does not come with a seat by default.

I didnt expect the train ticket system to be so complicated. Japan really is a place of two extremes. Some things are extremely optimised and convenient, and other things are overly complicated because they have to change certain systems if they want to make it work well but the systems are so set in stone that it's impossible to make change happen

[@yamete_kudastop4942]

I think most fascination we get right now came from anime. science, history, classical music, art etc. like I remember looking at classical music and the tought proccess, the emotion put in to it and the history are insane. I know its only the tip of the iceberg, but it can be a rabbit hole you can get in to.

To be fair when they were talking about Pixar, most of the movies they included in the list were short films and weren't really meant to stand alone. (They were bangers tho)

After everything Garnt said about infinity, the fact that we figured to just casually calculate the limit of a variable tending to INFINITY in calculus is just mind-bogling.

90% of my earliest memories are just images or 3 second clips about the most mundane things, as if my brain selected its core memories on a whim. Still remember 2 dreams I had when I was around 3-5 years old for some reason. One of them involved a T-Rex swallowing me whole at the end, while the other had a dragon attacking the McDonald's I was in.

[@soma6906]

I love anime and manga, and I've consumed both for most of my life, but I still don't consider myself a weeb. There so much about the weeb culture I don't understand and don't relate to, so many anime fans have opinions that make me uncomfortble and a lot of fandoms can be really toxic. I also consider myself to be media literate, because other than manga and anime I also consume a lot of books, comic books, movies, and video games. My point is that I am not an unhinged anime fan, and I've exposed a lot of different types of stories. So... When it comes to One Piece I can confidenlty say its one of the best stoires I have ever read. Lol I used to be skeptical as well, but it won me over. I'm not even an OG One Piece fan so, to me its even more impressive that One Piece was able to win me over as old and cynical man. The One Piece is real.

[@Allschmoi]

Interesting perspective. What I wanted to ask is what kind of opinions of anime fans make you uncomfortable? Can you please give an example. Because it is quiet odd to me that a different opinion in the anime genre could make someone genuinly uncomfortable.

From what I've heard, "Turning Red", "Soul", "Incredibles 2", and "Coco" were all pretty good.

[@Gelert_AT]

Turning Red was divisive, practically 50% of people liked it and the other 50% didn't. The Incredibles 2 is decent but extremely unremarkable compared to the first one. Coco is good, that's why they used it as a divisor between 'the good era' and 'the rest'. Soul was also really good but strangely forgettable, everyone kept talking about it for like a week and then forgot rather quickly (which happens with a lot of stuff nowadays, but that's also kinda the point of the discussion).

[@julian_whiteway]

Agree a lot with what was said above. Coco might be the last time a Pixar film blew me away, and felt like a throwback to the Pixar I grew up on; Incredibles 2 doesn't hold a candle to the first film, and is generally just completely unremarkable, making comparisons very unfair; Soul was enjoyable, but yeah, completely forgettable. I'll admit I haven't seen Turning Red, though from the outside looking in it does seem like it's had quite a divided reception (not the reason I've not watched it yet, mind)

Mathematician here just to clean up the infinity facts. Joey and grant both gave half of the same fact when they were talking about some infinities being bigger than others and the easiest example of the is the one joey gave of the numbers between 0 and 1 Vs just the the numbers from 1 to infinity. This brought rise to 2 types of infinity, countable infinity (1 to infinity) and uncountable infinity(numbers between 0 and 1) and the uncountable infinity is way bigger than the countable one
