While I disagree with a couple of minor points, this is 99.9% dead on accurate for how I think and I can stand behind it as "This is True".

I love how Gendo is the one that gives him a restriction

psychology: Let me blow your mind with reality Evangelion: Hold my drink...

[@aripartrich140]

Late response but Evangelion is most owed to psychoanalysis and continental philosophy, and that’s what makes it so resonant with ppl imo… it offers an alternative perspective to these everyday experiences and growing pains by comparison to hegemonic positivist theories (ie analytical philosophy and modern psychology)

[@roadbone1941]

Others perception of "you" is not the true you either.

[@1TutorialBoss]

But who are you but the sum of your actions and words? I do not readily see your intentions, no can I read your mind for your thoughts. And with the internet, I cannot see your face nor hear your voice to read emotions. What other information must I have to see the real "you"?

[@latitzouri]

This is anxiety, to feel better, deep inside you have to focus and accept that you must use your intellect on more pertinent thoughts, and move on

Asuka yelling "STOOPID" sends me everytime

[@nothing-but-milk9176]

2:35 this little bit always really hits me...the thought that"perfect freedom" is limited because you don't have"restrictions"to gain perspective and that with less freedom you feel easier because there's less to worry your mind.

[@Naotof]

After watching this scene, I really started questioning on how I am myself. Am I myself because of my personality? My looks? How would I know if I am myself? How do you know you are yourself? How do you understand yourself? It's very difficult. Evangelion what have you done to me.

[@flapjack6495]

"What are you Stoopid?"

[@funnybusinessman21]

I know that they didn't have a lot of money left at the end of the series, but I liked that they made the last episodes like this, it takes place in Shinjis mind and, in my opinion, shows his mental collapse and reconstruction for these episodes

Philosophy of Sartre's identity

[@CarlosFGX]

victor Climacus i tought it was hegel

[@1krubby]

I thought about this a lot but ultimately I disagree. Although Sartre agrees with ideas about symbolic interaction, his idea of freedom is almost seen as a damning burden. On the other hand, I think this more closely matches the beliefs of Peter Berger and his theory of social constructionism, where the freedom to interpret the world in anyway you wish is seen as a boon, but the key to harmony is everyone understanding each other's perception of reality as closely as possible

[@Franlinlemosjr]

I thought that was alterity idea from Freud.

[@warlockpaladin2261]

My father never watched this show, but he saw this scene and a few other bits of it every now and then back when I first watched it. Thanks to this post, I'm being reminded of how he started off some weird monolog about Sarte (and Kant too, I think) after overhearing this scene from the kitchen in the next room... even stranger that I also remember him browning some ground beef with some chopped onions (an unmistakable scent), in preparation for a pot of chili.

[@kofi3517]

What am I? Wait, what is this? This is me! This is the shape that lets others recognize me as myself! It is my symbol for myself! This is, this is, and this is aswell! Representations, everything is mearly a description, Not the real myself! Everything is simply a shape, a form, an idefier to let others recognize me as me! But then, what am I? Is this me? My true self? My fake self? What is it that I am?! *You are you. There is little difference between how you interpret yourself and how the others interpret you.* Right. My clothes, my shoes, my room, these are all parts of what makes up myself *These things are connected through your consciousness* So what I think is me, is me. What I recognize as self, is myself. I am no more, and no less than the sum of myself awareness. But I don’t understand myself! Where am I? What am I? What am I!? Nobody understands me!! *What are you, stupid? Of course nobody understands you! Nobody can ever understand you!* *The only one who can take care of you and understand you is you, yourself.* *So you must take care of yourself.* But I still don’t understand myself! I don’t even know what it is that makes me myself! How can I love myself?! *You are still unstable* *That is the present you* *And the people around the present you* *And the environment that’s around the present you* *None of these elements of reality last forever* *Time continues to flow, and time brings change* *The world is in a constant state of change* *You’re capable of change anytime your mind perceives these changes* What is this? A world of nothing? A world with nobody in it? This is the world of perfect freedom! Freedom? Perfect freedom! A world in Which you have no restriction! Is this really freedom? Yes, this is what it is! *However this world has nothing in it* Unless I do something? *Right. Unless you do, or think of something* But I don’t know what to do or think of! *He isn’t certain* *he has no self image to orientate himself around* There’s nothing solid here! *It is a world Which there are no obstacles, no anything* *this is a world in wich you can do anything you wish* *and yet, you are still afraid, aren’t you* *don’t you know what it is that you want to do?* what should i do? *let me give you a restriction.* *there, now you have a top, and bottom.* *but you have lost a degree of your freedom* *you no longer fly, you must stand upon the earth* *but now you feel easier, don’t you?* *because you have less, to trouble your mind* *and now, you can walk* *this is happening because you will it it be.* is this my will? *this will with the floor is the only thing around yourself.* *but now you can move around anywhere you wish to within it!* *you can even turn the world upside down if you wanted to do that!* *and your perspective within your world is constantly changing!* *it changes with the passage of time.* *you can change yourself aswell.* *because the thing that forms your shape, is your mind, and it’s interaction with the world that’s around you.* *you can do anything here, because this is your world* *this, is the shape of your reality.* what is this? an empty space? an empty world? a world where nothing exists but myself? but with only myself i-i have nothing to interact with .. it’s as if i’m here, but not here at all. it’d as if i’m slowly fading out of existence. *because only you are here.* only myself? *without others to interact with, you cannot truly recognize your true image.* my own image? *that’s right, in the act of observing others you may find and recognize yourself.* *your self image is restrained by having to observe the barriers between yourself, and others.* *and yet, you cannot see yourself without the presence of others.* because there are others, i-i can perceive myself as an individual! if i am alone, then i will be the same without others! for this world is only of me, then there will be no difference between me and nothing! *by recognizing the differences between yourself and others, you establish your identity as yourself* *very first of the person, is your mother.* *your matter as a different individual.* right, i am me and she is she. but are you really sure that the perceptions of others form my true self? *it’s true, shinji ikari.* *and it’s taken you this long to realize that?! what an idiot!*

Dude how 💀

[@gatotsu2501]

I like the Eva dub overall, but man you can really tell everyone was just thinking "fuck this" when they recorded the last two episodes.

[@nobelleader6]

Not sure if these eposides were "Fuck it." or "Hey, lets put a lot of work into this"

[@gatotsu2501]

For the localization/dubbing team? Definitely "Fuck it."

[@DeepDiveDevin]

My favorite thing Spencer has said about this part is "I was allowed to hate Shinji, but I had to be Shinji hating Shinji, not Spike hating Shinji".

[@TheAnimatedGamer]

From the emotion they put into this? What makes you think that?

[@austinpoznoski3083]

[@tompac1044]

As cliche as it sounds, the only way to achieve happiness is by manipulating or changing your own perspective. You can take happy pills, counsel yourself, and have an infinite amount of friends, but if all you can ever think about is how much you hate yourself, then you need to change your perspective for the better.

[@JosephWolfieMartin]

This is weird, this is missing some sound effects and has some additional echo / reverb effects on the voices. This is strange. Where did this exactly come from?

[@KENNETHUDUT]

Oh wow - it's over a year ago - I'm not sure where.

[@studiojaw4876]

I think those effects came from the directors cut version of the episode. The Gendo I hear here is the original Gendo, I think. For the directors cut version they got a soundalike to come in and dub/redub some of his lines since Gendo's original VA had a falling out with ADV.

[@JosephWolfieMartin]

Studio JAW but do you know if it's ever been officially released? id like to have the audio track to add to the bluray versions that have come out. mostly for completion purposes, and this version is kinda interesting.

[@studiojaw4876]

ADV released both the original versions and the ones director's cut edits on DVD. You'd have to check which versions Amazon or some other site has if you wanted to buy them. I know Amazon had both at some point. If your cool with just downloading them though, you can find streams for both online fairly easily, I think. KissAnime used to have the original versions of episodes but recently switched to the Director's cut versions.

[@studiojaw4876]

I'm pretty sure the bluray versions are gonna use the director's cut version of the episodes though. The audio track may take some adjusting because the edited episodes added some scenes and reanimated some parts. Like this [wiki.evageeks.org/Guides:Episode_22_OA_vs._DC]
