Nah he definitely knew what was going on. He said "the CD field trip" but he knew what they were doing. He knows CDs so it's pretty easy to figure out what they would do even to someone who doesn't know about the hunting stuff.
And he knew they kidnapped shakky too.
Apparently not. Garp really was just an ignorant idiot. Grandfather like grandson. :luuh:

You've said exactly what I've wanted to say much more eloquently and better that I ever could say haha.

That's exactly it, there's still countless things we do not understand about the world and reality, about our existence and even ourselves maybe. The universe or even multiverses are a boundless treasure trove of knowledge waiting to be discovered and understood, to be calculated, studied and thus analyseed, to make us question everything and think outside of the box and so on, to challenge ourselves and what we know, who we are.

Science is a never ending pursuit, I really like how Kubo depicted it in Bleach with Mayuri, that perfection is the antithesis of science itself, perfection is hell itself:

As a scientist, Mayuri despises perfection, as he believes that achieving such a state leaves him with absolutely nothing more to strive for — namely imagination, knowledge and improvements — which would result in nothing but despair; because of this, he derided Szayelaporro Granz for claiming to be a "perfect life form".[16]

Something mind blowing that I figured by thinking about metaphysics deeply is that our minds are sometimes obsessed with figuring out what's the origin of all and why there's something instead of nothing at all, how could something exist and at the same time be the origin of all without having been created.

I realized that we don't even know if these are the right questions to ask, because we are unaware of the layers of abstraction reality features.

Many scientists think about energy as fundamental but they assume it's at the basis of reality, yet we cannot prove that it's the ultimate abstraction reality is made of, and we will never be able to prove it and we will never have a proven theory of everything because of this very fact. What if energy as we know it was just the manifestation of a greater interconnected reality for instance, one we can't even imagine?

So when we talk about dimensions it's often thought as space and time with energy being fundamental and permeating the spacetime in a multi-dimensional framework, yet we don't know the full extent of the abstraction of reality.

Also fun fact: the other day I was thinking about my post count here on WorstGen by remembering the old times I would post like a bot (I was even called Finabota for it) and I realized that our existence as humans is based on an important count, which is the number of heartbeats in our lifetime. This number is highly variable depending on our genetics, environmental factors, lifestyle etc. yet in a sense it's like if we had a post count and it was constantly dropping by 1 and we don't know what's our "heart count" because we don't know how many heartbeats we have left in our lifetime, we only know it's slowly dropping to 0 (unless we are so unlucky our heart will forcefully stop); but if we assume the universe is almost deterministic (because according to quantum theory there are so many probabilistic quantum events that the outcomes tend to average out when we move to classical physics so basically we end up with a fidel determinism) then in theory our future is practically already written down. But once again we don't know if there's something deeper than quantum theory.

Also I think @minamoto would probably enjoy my post lol.

Damn dude, this post is genuinely insightful... you broke down some massive ideas in a super clear way. I really dig your line of thinking.

That core realization about the abstraction layers is absolutely spot on. We're so laser-focused on finding the ultimate origin of everything, but like you said, we don't even know if the question "where did it come from?" applies to our layer of reality. Wow, that’s a genuine mind shift, because it suggests the creator, or the ultimate source, might be operating on a layer we simply cannot perceive, kind of like an external programmer whose code is running the universe.

Your thought that energy might just be a manifestation and not the true fundamental basis is the key to all of this. If that's the case, it means our entire physics framework, our search for the Theory of Everything (TOE), is inherently limited by our own position within the system. We're essentially trying to understand the inner workings of a super complex machine just by studying the light and sound it emits... the output. We see the effects—spacetime, energy, matter—but the underlying code, that deeper abstraction, remains completely hidden. That fundamentally locks us out of proving the TOE, and that's a super powerful point about the boundaries of science itself.

And linking that whole cosmic, abstract idea to the heartbeat count analogy? That was seriously clever and really cemented the idea. You took the heavy concept of near-perfect determinism—where the universe has theoretically set your life's total number of beats—and contrasted it beautifully with the human experience of uncertainty. Even if our life's beats are theoretically fixed, the sheer fact that we don't know the count is the most significant part. It flips the script entirely. It means the focus shifts away from the fixed, distant end... and lands squarely on the importance of the present moment and the quality of the life you're living. Every single beat is crucial, every action is important, because the total score card is secret and unavailable to us. That’s a truly great takeaway about finding meaning within a potentially deterministic system.

Seriously great thinking here, dude. This post was fantastic.

(We've seriously nerded out lmao. I tried to be a bit more serious in responding than usual too.)

You're confusing two different things: physics and the philosophy of physics. Those are fundamentally different fields.

Physicists never made any claim about what else could be or if something is the ultimate reality. They simply talk about what they could measure.

Those questions about the fundamental layers are more metaphysical and ontological discussions.

can u sum up his post plzdz???..

I know nothing about this anime "The Invisible Man and his Soon-to-Be Wife"

After looking at this multiple times, and focusing on the... Invisible Man and...

is that Wanda's Aunt, Barbra??? Ahem

I finally went, "Wait, is the Wife of the Invisible Man... blind??? OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH"

So focused on the furry interspecies relationship I completely missed the blind chick for like 10 minutes

Says a lot, woof

:pepemy:

It's crazy how few people realize I love the Animal Kingdom Pirates so much

Because it's just a giant crew of fucking crazy furries

 
I feel that the stories of new series are repetitive and boring for me. Old series seem more interesting to me in terms of soundtrack and story and even nostalgic feelings. Old clothes and cars and the fact that they are not too involved in technology are really more interesting for me. For example, I like to watch the Poirot series for the tenth time, but when I watch a new series, I get obsessed and have to check its rating on IMDB many times.
