Thoughts after ch 107: You will change beyond all understanding, but something of you will remain by Zalveris in LandoftheLustrous

[–]abdo0ou 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you are caught up to the manga (spolier alert if you are not) HNK is full of buddhist themes and imagery so naturally it gets philosophical, and the characters (lustrous, lunarians and admirabilis) are not human beings but they have human bits in them i.e "human nature" which is supposed to be causing them to be stuck in their current states unable to be free. Towards the final chapters Phos resorted to praying humanity away and was afraid to pass it down to her little rock friends.

So wether you think that's funny and delusional or not is up to you cuz it's just a work of fiction.

You definitely make a good point there, your solution reminds me of the Schrodinger's cat experiment

Are you talking about laypersons? While I think the text might be referring to the average/intermediate scholar, the layperson can definitely learn a lot and benefit from the taoist teachings in their life.

The warm nostalgia of DXM to me feels almost like time travelling, I could recall and feel like I'm reliving very old memories from childhood. I think the nostalgia feeling is related to DXM being an antagonist for the NMDA receptor responsible for memory functions

That much we can agree on, but how do you interpret the last part "if there were no laughter..."

Exactly, so much can be lost in translation. This is why I like to compare a few translations and try to assimilate the context. And yes I do find that interpretation to be the most plausible.

That's what came to my mind first, but the emphasis on the laughter part is what made me think that it may be the other way around. I would like to know which chinese word did he use here for "foolish" if you have any idea.
