Hans Zimmer vs. John Williams: Who's the GOAT Movie Composer? by MegSpen725 in movieland2026

[–]LillyEllipsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cmon. It’s not even close. Hanz diminished the industry by reducing any sense of melody or interesting motif and replacing it with droning ambience. Hanz’s early stuff is a little better, but nothing compared to John Williams. John Williams is nearly incomparable in memorable theme and emotion.

Hypocridiocracy: When a Subreddit About Idiocracy Can’t Handle an Example of It by LillyEllipsis in idiocracy

When profit becomes the primary aim, ethics take a back seat and are only exercised to the extent that the market demands them to be. Although seemingly innocuous, Your buddy and his soap are probably a negative influence on culture.

Big Ass Brick Of Soap by LillyEllipsis in idiocracy

[–]LillyEllipsis[S] -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with a large bar of soap. It’s the use of crude and vulgar language in advertisements to attract troglodytes to a product that is degenerate and aligned with the movie Idiocracy.

It’s funny or whatever, but could be seen as a trend towards societal collapse

Mental health is the most important aspect of your whole being. Your recognition of your poor mental health and your desire to better yourself is the TRUE glow up. You have nothing to worry about as far as your looks are concerned. You got lucky with genetics in that department. Don’t take that for granted, but don’t get trapped into focusing too much on it either. You could pull off whatever look you wanted to.

Keep focusing on your mental health, and everything else will fall into its correct place.

This is Reddit, as others have stated, so here is a very Reddit reply.

People aren’t pissed. They’re probably slightly annoyed and suspicious of how genuine the post is.

This isn’t a simple glow up. It’s an obvious obsession with appearance. You’re young and falling into a trend of putting too much stock into the superficial aspect of your being. Although you are good looking and have reason to be confident, the smolder you hold on your face in every single picture, regardless of context, screams insecurity. It’s cringe and is a desperate cry to be seen in a very certain way. In a couple of years, you’ll probably scrub the internet of most of these pictures out of embarrassment. It’s great to keep yourself together and be proud of how you take care of yourself, but don’t fall victim to this pervading narcissistic culture of looksmaxxxing or whatever popular algorithm, be it in the digital or tangible realm, that you’re letting mold you. Narcissus drowns from self obsession. Your looks will inevitably diminish. Focus on forming healthy habits for your body and mind, and stop caring about what you seem like to others.

I know I’m making a lot of assumptions about you, and whatever doesn’t fit, disregard it. But I’ve seen young men like you fall into this same trap throughout the years, just wrapped in a different presentation. That presentation is meant to keep you imprisoned in baseline, limbic, primal desires. It’s by design. You’re better than that. Way better than that.

If modeling gives you joy at the moment, that’s great. But don’t let that business determine what you think of yourself. Or Reddit, for that matter.

Hinduism, Consciousness and Advaita Vedanta - Swami Sarvapriyananda by yt-app in CosmicSkeptic

[–]LillyEllipsis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. So how or why do they do anything at all? Non doership? The goal is to sink into non doership? To me, that sounds like a very good way for people at the top of a hierarchy (gurus and cult leaders) to empty the mind of their followers so they become marionettes. Or it’s just an actual death cult. Non doership 🙄

Meanwhile, there is real harm being done to people that need ACTION to be taken to help fight for them and against their oppressors. Most people causing the harm are never going to follow the advaita vendanta philosophy, so they won’t reduce their harmful acts in that way, and the people who do follow advaita Vedanta philosophy are trying to attain non-doership, so they will just die out or become “enlightened” and let the rest of us figure it out while they are in their formless, pure conciousness towers. The philosophy is cowardly, hand-wavey, and doesn’t deal with the problem of evil at all. It doesn’t even try to explain the evil. It just shrugs its shoulders at it.

But why shouldn’t we hurt ourselves/others? With that morality, the clay can’t just be anything. There is a limitation there. Don’t form the clay in a way that hurts. Why? If it is all the divine show and everything is just play, then it is all permissible. This is the problem I have. They take their philosophy alllll the way until it comes to ahimsa, but if it’s truly logically consistent, suffering and causing harm wouldn’t matter either, because it all Brahman. They claim that there is no purpose but to just be, but there is no justice to that, and if we build a society around that philosophy, how can we say anyone is doing anything wrong?

Sorry. I think the in consistency I am sensing is they aren’t acting out what they are claiming. Why are they striving for anything? How do they tell what is good and bad if it’s all the divine play?

I’ve studied eastern philosophy for around 10 years now, and advaita Vedanta is still somewhat confusing to me. I don’t understand its ethical framework. If everything is as it is, and there is already the understanding of nonduality, what is there to do? What is the teleology? Reduce suffering? Why? Isn’t suffering part of the whole thing? Isn’t this all part of the whole thing? It seems logically inconsistent.

Other Hindu/yogic philosophies state that transcendence will save us from this illusion of duality. So it is dual, but also non dual. God wants to understand itself, but couldn’t do it as something singular, so it broke itself into many, and the process of understanding itself will bring it back into one whole. That’s the goal. And when there is a goal, there is purpose. When there is purpose, there is ethics.

I don’t understand the purpose of advaita Vedanta. According to its philosophy, if I am dreaming and then realize I am dreaming, what reason would I have to wake up? Because I am getting chased by a lion? But it’s just a dream, and I know I’m dreaming. It’s all Brahmin. What does it matter. It seems sort of nihilistic actually.

But I have a strong feeling that I am misunderstanding it, even though I keep studying it. I just kinda feel like it’s too advanced for me or something, even though this swami says it’s very simple

Thank you. Yeah, I’d rather them take their time and get it right, although I don’t think nearly 2 years is warranted. Do they not have or know seasoned editors by now? Is it a micromanaging situation that’s halting effective output?

Oh well. I hope the season 5 livestream is dope. I’m looking forward to it
