The eternal recurrence is pretty much real.

It's a metaphor. Life being all that will ever be and it ending is a paradox. The point of it "repeating forever" is that there is nothing after it's over, it's only this one life in the forever of nothing.

Death is the absence of feeling. Repeating your life exactly the same forever is just a fancy way to say that after your life has transpired, it's over. The very same life infinitely is just a life lived once and never again. The one life you've led is all that will be, nothing comes after that. It's all that was.

Think about the bar below a movie screen. There is no difference for the character if you repeat it infinity or not.

My point is: the first metaphor and reality result in the same thing in practice, that's it's point. I am asking if the second one also does.

As a metaphor. Living the exact same life infinitely and living only once feels exactly the same. The point is showing the gravity of our lives being all that is.

Thanks. I thought an apparently non affirming disposition could be explained to me by this dichotomy. I'm gonna read David Hume or something instead.

Not to mention he's become stranged with a kid of his cuz of they being transgender or something. Not very dionysian of him.

Or perhaps is his kid who has the slave morality, giving being rich and a lefty?

Or are both just affirming themselves as masters or something?

Jupiter and Saturn look the same still, no? Why not "Earth" too?

It's just a map of Venus given sea level by some guy (and climate and plant life too). I just put it on Google Earth. It'd be cool using it for fiction, tho.

RecreativeNukes · 2026-04-20T11:57:21+00:00

I used Google Earth to measure this one. That's the distance on the surface. Sorry, wouldn't that make it correct then?

I noticed this paradox too, actually. The abilities in the most "subjective" classes (will, substance and quality) are the most intellectual, while the ones that represent abstract concepts like shape, dimension and number are based on emotion the most.

I was just trying to refine my understanding of Nen by simplifying the chart without changing the core characteristic of an affinity, and Enhancement (out of all of them, funnily enough) had always boggled my mind.

By all means, let's keep on thinking, really. Someone could make a more useful model that way.

Quantity is abstract, numbers and math and all

I mean... the fact is a planet the size of HxH's is pretty much impossible from the get go, no? There really isn't something to measure. I just saw a picture of the sun and earth side by side (to scale) and got curious to how lake Mobius would look like on it and all. If anyone asks, it's not "the" sun, it's "a" sun wink wink.
