>lukal What do you mean? If you have seen something, it is already in your subconscious. That is outside your control. Not a criticism. Just curious.

Fascinating ideas, especially the one on eternal diary. I'll definitely have that cooking in my subconscious for a while!

>benny1548132 To write something since there are still some big misunderstandings, when I write "Hellenism" instead of "Classical Greek", you should think of Alexandria in Ptolemaic Egypt rather than the main land Greece. And its famous scholars like Euclid. Or not yet that period, but Pythagoras who studied in Egypt. It was the center of the Hellenistic world and also the center of the early Christianity.

>benny1548132 Of course it's Ελλάδα and not Greece there. I know that as a common sense. And doesn't "Hellas" mean rather the people than the country? It's nothing special than España and Spain. "Hispanic" has a totally different meaning in that case.

i'm not really talking about the names of things....maybe i should articulate my point more clearly; i'm just here observing how a lot of people assign the origin of a lot of Western thought/theory to a nation that isn't all that Western in nature. i see philosophy nerds idolize only certain aspects of a whole culture. it's weird, how it gets diluted/remembered/forgotten. that's all.

I can't comment on the validity of benny's strawman. I can comment on benny's underlying point. The Greeks were Indo-European migrants, who were very comfortable with aggregating ideas from other cultures. Not so many of their ideas were original, but it is through them that those ideas were forwarded to following cultures. Our recordings of where ideas come from will never have the depth of ephemeral reality.

>benny1548132 I know what you mean. But in English "Hellenism" means the specific period of the world (Not only Greece, but also Egypt, Persia, India, &c.) that starts with Alexander the great and ends with the Islamisation of those countries. Classical Athens &c. were not "Hellenistic". They were just Greek. In contrast, Romans were "Hellenistic" even though they were Latin.

you might never believe what people who live in Greece, now, call Greece...

augh, i give up on trying to sound sarcastic, i bet i sound like an asshole. i'm sorry. it's "Hellas" (but not spelled/pronounced like that, y'know). as in, still Hellenic.

>kaa Though it is my personal interpretation of some parts of Hermetica. And the examples obviously came from the Orthodox church. Well Hermeticism is a Greco-Egyption religion anyway. And the Orthodox church is a cultural heritage directly descending from the Roman empire.

>kaa It's a general Hellenistic way of thinking. You would understand it better if you think of ancient Greek statues when you read "Art" from the post. It's that worldview. I wrote the post while thinking of the mathematical beauty of the human body in those statues.

My opinion on the whole cantalope situation, is that we need, way, way more cantalope flavored stuff. I'm talkin' Gogurts, Jolly Ranchers; the possibilities are endless.

>doodles A really good point. Speaking of the designs, aren't some of the designs way too much? A bit of coomer bait is fine, but I doubted my own eyes when I saw Eimi's bikini having zippers on it. Well I guess there are people who would like things like that though. I think Blue Archive itself is like Urawa Hanako. Lots of great things and degenerate things coexist at the same time.

Indeed. There are in-universe explanations for some of the more coomer bait designs, but in the end it's just marketing as usual.

>doodles Literally everyone draws some Blue Archive these days :). How has it become that successful? Personally I tried it for the seiyuus first and decided to participate in the big wave for the mythology heavy stories. But I still don't understand why it has become that big.
