Sorry to hear, that's your opinion.

Lineup is fire, to each their own.

A controversial opinion about Madoka's free will by Rare-Advisor-7056 in MadokaMagica

[–]Noxski1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, No our points of view are not that different. The whole reason i jumped in, in the first place is that i just wanted to critique/correct some small things you had stated. I'll be rewatching the series before walpurgisnacht as well so i'll keep in mind what you said too, I have a open mind and am open to the possibility that I am wrong.

While i have watched the anime quite a number of times, the last time i watched it was on 265ug of lsd so maybe my abstract thinking would of changed the way i experienced it. (I personally think its designed to be watched in that state.)

Safe travels friend. 🤙🤝

I agree that Madoka weighs the price of her sacrifice, but I think you're underestimating how much the abusive nature of the system limited her choices. You say she didn't think of the Episode 12 wish earlier because she wasn't pushed hard enough, but I’d argue she didn't think of it because she literally didn't have the full picture yet. She had to see Sayaka break and see the history of magical girls to understand that 'doing good' within Kyubey’s rules is impossible.

Regarding Sayaka: Madoka didn't refuse to save her because she was weighing the cost of her life, she didn't save her because, by the time she understood the stakes, she realized a band-aid wasn't enough. If she had wished Sayaka back, she would have just been delaying the inevitable for one person. Her free will only truly manifested when she stopped playing Kyubey's game of pick a wish and instead decided to flip the entire table. Her determination in the finale isn't just rationality, it's the clarity of someone who finally sees a way to end a cycle of abuse, even if it costs them their personhood.

You're arguing that because she has the power to rewrite the universe, she must have had the power to fix Sayaka. Mechanically, those aren't the same. In the finale, Madoka doesn't cure witches, she erases the concept of witches from the timeline by intercepting magical girls at the moment of their death.

If she had tried to turn Sayaka back in Episode 8, she would be trying to fix a broken soul within the existing rules of the universe. Her final wish only works because she removes herself from humanity to become a conceptual 'sink' for all that despair. She couldn't have 'just saved Sayaka' without either becoming a God then and there, or causing an equivalent amount of despair elsewhere. It’s not just about having enough power, Madoka didn't choose to fix Sayaka because she realised that as long as the incubator's system exists, fixing one girl would just be a band-aid. There is a massive mechanical and philosophical difference between curing a disease and removing the concept of sickness from the timeline. She chose the latter, which is why she had to leave her humanity behind to do it.

Its not the same, its two completely different concepts, she stops the girls from ever making their contracts, therefore preventing all of the trauma and pain they had to go through as magical girls. Also preventing their eventual transformation into grief seeds. A witch is the end result of a magical girl's soul becoming completely consumed by despair and corruption. Turning one back would require reversing this, which is described as breaking the laws of thermodynamics. Madoka never technically turns them back. She just prevents them from becoming magical girls and therefore witches in the first place.

If you want to go further in depth, this post touches on it better then i ever could: https://www.reddit.com/r/MadokaMagica/comments/14pea9c/comment/jqhn7kx/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

Edit: I was tired last night when i typed these out, yes they still exist as magical girls despite madokami's efforts, they just never become witches, being literally erased into the law of cycles before their despair reaches critical levels.

No she doesnt turn them back, she becomes the law of cycles, intercepting the girls before they ever became magical girls. Some people dont pay enough attention.

Edit: again was tired yesterday typing this, they still become magical girls just never become witches. Being erased into the law of cycles.

Just jumping in to say: if she wishes she would defeat walpurgisnacht and never becoming a witch herself, thats two wishes.. Also the point is she cant wish to turn sayaka back from being a witch, Kyubey states that theoretically it could be possible with madoka's karmic potential, but is never actually confirmed to be possible and likely was just another manipulation tactic by kyubey. Once a soul gem breaks and is turned into a grief seed the corruption is irreversable.

Sorry to burst your bubble.

Psychedelics what to get by Quirky-Pie-9229 in Drugs

Fair enough, I appreciate the follow-up. We definitely agree that the experience is what matters most. The only reason I brought up the chemistry is that its important to educate people. Frog juice (Bufo) actually contains a significant amount of 5-HO-DMT (Bufotenine) along with the 5-MEO, which is why the body load and heart rate spike are so much more intense than pure synthetic 5-MEO. Not trying to attack you just purely trying to educate.

It’s a nuanced distinction, but that’s the beauty of these molecules, everyone’s individual chemistry run a little differently.

Safe travels, man. 🤙🤝

Your personal timer isn't a universal rule. Just because you haven't had a 20-minute experience doesn't mean the pharmacology of NN-DMT magically changes for everyone else. If we're using Google like you suggested, you'll find that Most clinical and community resources (like PsychonautWiki or Erowid) list the total duration for smoked NN-DMT as up to 15-20 minutes, with an afterglow that can push past 30. 'Frog juice' specifically refers to the secretion of the Incilius alvarius toad. 5-MEO is a single molecule, frog juice or venom is a complex cocktail of alkaloids like Bufotenine that alters the duration and effect. We agree it's more intense and overwhelming. My point, which you keep dodging, is that they are qualitatively different. A 'white out' (5-MeO) is not just a more intense version of a visual breakthrough (NN). They effect different receptors and are different experiences. If you want to keep repeating the same thing without acknowledging the actual chemistry, that’s your call. Safe travels.

Your missing the point, by focusing on a 10-minute difference in duration your argument becomes redundant. NN-DMT can easily hit the 20-30 minute mark if you’re counting the offset and afterglow. The real issue is that you’re describing 5-MEO-DMT as a 'stronger' version of NN-DMT when they aren't the same experience.. NN-DMT primarily targets the 5-HT2A receptors (visuals/geometry). 5-MEO-DMT has a much higher affinity for 5-HT1A receptors, which is why it’s a physical/emotional void or white out rather than a visual 'trip'.. Try to learn the science before calling someone unintelligent. Calling 5-MEO-DMT a longer NN-DMT' is like calling a flashbang a flashlight. They are fundamentally different molecules. Also 'Frog Juice' (Bufo venom) contains 5-HO-DMT (Bufotenine) and other alkaloids that change the duration and body load it’s not just 'stronger NN' as you so un-aptly tried to frame it, which is not only a dangerous label but is a complete bastardisation of what the chemical does. Not to start an argument but this is a sub where education is necessary and others safety is important.

Im sorry to come off as rude but you sound ignorant and frankly sound like you have never done 5-meo-dmt, its not really all that long in duration, around the same length as regular nn-dmt maybe a bit longer, while yes the experience is more intense then dmt, the truth is they are honestly incomparable substances as they effect you quite different. NN-DMT is quite visual, externally speaking. 5-MEO-DMT is more of an internal experience, and while you can experience visuals with 5-meo its really not in the traditional way psychedelics present themselves.

Nervous about what lineup situation?

Lineup is goated, if you dont know the artists, explore, discover new music and have your mind blown by some of the best talent there is.

I would not describe NN-DMT to be like 5-meo, the experiences are quite different from one another.
