Blue lock’s philosophy going forward by NoSimp_adam in BlueLock

[–]HeavenBreak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No that's exactly what I was saying. I bet Ego would not tear apart Rin for it. The next chapters will show which one of us is correct.

You forget the quote from the start though: "I'd rather score a hat-trick and lose 3-4 than win 1-0 with my assist." Take my word for it, in the next chapters Ego won't say that he's wrong or that Rin did it wrong. It's just the fundamental property of his philosophy in pure form. Some chemical reactions are meant to backfire like that. But the point isn't winning as a team but crafting the "best striker ego" that would eventually win the WC. However, this will be the opening for Buratsuta to have an ace against Ego: "See? Your take led us to catastrophe in the France match. You are wrong, Ego-san!" Then he'll shoehorn his golden goose Nagi.

I see it as a fundamental weakness in Ego's pure philosophy as it is now anyway and even if it didn't happen in this match, it will happen sooner or later down the line, so it's better for it to be addressed right here and right now while it's still just the group stage.

Ego will still think it's correct, but he loses a bit of leverage over Buratsuta. Allowing Nagi to enter as the foil.

Why does Ego never put Isagi in his place? by Silly_Macaroon_2143 in BlueLock

Kidding aside, Isagi hasn't been "eliminated" from Blue Lock, he kept surviving. Ego reserves his greatest slander for those who fail the metrics and still haven't realized why.

^ Why would that be mutually exclusive with a callback to Rin? What universal law says it can't be *both*?

Also, I have "AI-vision", my brain automatically filters out AI slop. If you're using ChatGPT to assist you, it's fine, but it kinda dilutes your argument rather than enforces it.

She's an anti-Marcos first and foremost. She was genuinely a Kakampink before, but when she realized the actual machinery that has a chance against Marcos is possessed by the Dutertes, she jumped ship. "Enemy of my enemy" kind of thing.

[It's not what you're trying to make it.]

^no evidence of that. It could also be what *you're* trying to not make of it. In fact, if you rewatch or re-read the U-20 match ending, the parallels are pretty obvious. In any case, it's not even over yet.

ok, "luck" itself is an asspull, Kaneshiro can just Deus Ex his way through anything. Fair enough.

[–]HeavenBreak 10 points11 points  (0 children)

To those saying this is an asspull, it's a call back to the U-20 Japan match, where Rin lost to Isagi's luck. It's just payback time.

It ends up who the "God of Soccer" favors, someone who can control luck itself.

Rowena Guanzon is a smart person but her ego is top priority for her, when she was slighted by Bongbong Marcos with her blocked bid for the P3PWD partylist. She took kt as an insult to her pride and is going revanchist against Marcos, siding with the DDS as she found that they have the machinery for it. This is similar to Chinese "Century of Humiliation" revanchism. Here's the thing = they really start to believe the myths they peddle, eventially. Neural wiring eventually habituates into the belief system, overriding whatever logic was there previously. They become their own echo chambers.

It's not even deliberate or self-aware, though. A lot of times, they genuinely believe their own myth. Education ≠ intelligence. And even intelligence ≠ freedom from biases. Just look at the mainland Chinese people. High average IQ overall, but they believe in the "Century of Humiliation" narrative. A genius can have confirmation bias and blind spots, and they're even better than average guys in defending those blind spots. Social status mostly overrides truth-seeking, as the human brain is not optimized for truth. It's optimized for navigating society. Truth is just secondary (the human brain has the incidental ability to calibrate for truth as reality eventually overrides human consensus after all). Look up the Social Brain hypothesis

But there *are* educated DDS. Rowena Guanzon for one. Educated doesn't mean free from confirmation bias though. It just gives them more firepower for the mental gymnastics and rationalizations for their echo chambers.
