    I dunno man… You forget about GT? /s

    No, of course TeamFourStar doesn’t care about how they could be “damaging” to the original experience of watching the show. I think you and your friend are allowed to enjoy whatever you choose, right? You’re upset your friend is experiencing DBZ incorrectly. It feels wrong? I think I understand, but please correct me if I’m going off course.

    It is easier to relate to one another with small jokes and low-investment memes. Comedy is a helpful distraction in a terrible world, even if the comedy is shallow.

    Being able to open up and have a knowledgable discussion about a topic is one of the deepest and least attainable social pleasures. If you want to be able to discuss DBZ with this person you have to adapt to their growing body of knowledge on the subject.

    Also, you have a unique perspective to share with your friend, once you can overcome the obstacles. Seriously, why does TeamFourStar, who allegedly loved DBZ, represent Piccolo as the only serious character? I bet it could be because they could only use the original drawings, and they have to write scripts around the fact that Piccolo does not smile often.

    To claim that consciousness could be an illusion is a self-contradictory statement as consciousness is where illusions appear.

    This sounds a lot like the “did the chicken come before the egg or the other way around” God is defined as the progenitor of existence, but if something preceded or even paralleled God before existence, then that would have to be the real God instead, based on the ontological definition. That was confusing, but I only mention it because if you could have a “consciousness” which perceives another consciousness as illusory, (like one I could download into a machine) then your own “awareness” is just as relatively illusory as the first one.

    Like, the universe comes from God, and some would say that you can’t have one without the other. And our perception of the world stems from a consciousness, and some would say you can’t have one without the other. I just wanted to talk about the problems that arise when you form a recursive pattern with these foundational ideas. What is really behind consciousness? Can consciousness lie to you? Of course. Should you stop trusting your consciousness? Not completely, you would become a vegetable. Bed sores hurt.

    I’m just kinda rambling, but thank you for posting this stimulating topic. This consciousness appreciates it.

    Oh I’m sorry, I did not understand your point. Freely donating most of one’s wealth and possessions for the better good is helpful, but it is not, nor has it ever been a principle encouraged by Sanders.

    When you describe capitalism as “free to do with it what ever he want(s)” we have to acknowledge that money is limited by all kinds of laws, such as ones that disallow the purchasing of slaves, and limit the amount gifted to a political candidate.

    The problem occurs when very few people have access to excess capital, or economic energy, which would grant them more power than the limitations created by the government could control.

    Sanders’ political ideology is not Communism. He identifies as a Democratic Socialist, and is in favor on expanding the rights of education and healthcare through taxation.
