They all think they're better than me

I will show them all

Out of all the sagas in One Piece, which one would you say is the best?

Oh I see. Also checked your post in the thread. Your opinion is much appreciated. I know you're pretty busy so I can understand why you just check a few threads and go.

You don't check your VMs often do you...

Hey man. How have you been?

I'd love to hear your opinion on this thread http://www.millenniumforums.com/show...itora-vs-Marco

If you would share it with us it would be much appreciated.

What do you advisers do in the site basically?

i'm sure that one at least would be a job you'd love. But yeah, the way up there isn't paved in gold. I actually think directors start by working in other directors' staff. I think you might be able to have fun with that too.

yeah, you got it perfectly. Thank you for putting that together for me pac.

that's a poke for the argument of the other day, isn't it
i don't know if what we gain with the advancement makes up for what we lose along the way. You see, certain books really made me realize that the growth of humanity isn't just progress and thought enhancement, but also coverup, misunderstanding, staining and twisting the past thinkers' concepts to adapt them to the course of events. It's kind of inevitable, it's not like i add an element of malice to it. I'm sure you can see it as well. So well, it's kinda hard for me to see it as evolution. More like mutation, really.

you're gonna be a film director whose movies deal with sociology-political themes, then?

look, blood spilled doesn't really bother of itself. But i guess i dislike when blood/gore becomes an actual horror factor to detriment of the subtler horror factors i actually care to see. I probably explained it worse than a middle school student but i hope you got the gist of it.

i'd say i genuinely enjoyed them because i already knew i'd have agreed with most of those concepts, since back then we used to study philosophy very thoroughly. So more than life changing books, i'd say the lessons were life changing, and then the books represented a sort of intellectual masturbation, spiraled upwards (because of course there's another layer of depth when you read the work written by the actual philosopher). That said, there's been one or two perspective changing books as well, not from philosopher, from contemporaneity interpreters of the ancient knowledge that are kind of sidelined and revolutionary of their own right, or at least i see them as such, cuz they flip the table of how academic philosophy is taught and learned and provide a completely different interpretations of those very same philosophers.

You're doing great. PH would've crumbled long ago without the 3 of you serving as cornerstones.

My field is Control engineering and automation, with me leaning into Robotics as a specialisation. My work so far has been 3 proof of concept models and a lot of studying about all the different theory required to get everything working. I'm being supervised by my mentor and there's been a dozen or so colleagues through the last year and a half that have helped me with different aspects of the whole thing. The goal is to create a functional bionic arm in the next 2 years, by the time I get my master's. There's a lot of work to be done, but if I were to judge by what's been done so far, it is doable. I'll be grinding myself into dust, but I don't mind. There's more to life than beating around the bush.

Who would've thought, the cyborg actually wishes to roam free, like a bird soaring the skies.
Well, best of luck to you, too! Hope you find yourself something that can meet your expectations.

contract at limited time? Maybe you'll find more spots in education, since it seems to be your thing. Are there other careers you'd consider?

horror isn't my genre but what you said about it is interesting. i generally dislike when they bet everything on being just plain disgusting, and it's been like this ever since i was a little sprout so i've never really explored the genre. Anyway, i could see myself trying one of the more psychological ones. Is there anything you would suggest that is 0 disgusting and 100% slipping into taboo parts of the psyche?

the philosophical ones are essentially born from my education path, stuff that impressed me to the point of wanting to check out the source. My favorites would be Hobbes (Leviathan), Nietzsche (the Birth of the Tragedy) and Plato (the Republic), i've always wanted to read Schopenhauer but i never got the chance. The historical works i read are essentially biographies or reconstructions of periods or battles, and the historical novels stimulate pretty much the same need, except it's put in form of a novel and hence they're particularly involving to me. I have a lot of these, from any kind of period. It really constituted my main reading before discovering manga just recently.
