I'm fine recognizing the particular contribution he's made, but I'm referring to the kind of reddit memethink that reduces him to some smug symbol of all-knowing englightenment that sciences the SHIT out of everything!

but was he actually a designated figurehead for the discoveries made by teams of "lesser" (read: poorer) scientists?

>>12229890
yes

The shit he discovered was derived from mostly Mach, Michelson, and Morley

I'm fine with aesthetics, in fact I think aesthetics may come first in human thought given the mediatedness of experience; but it's pathetic the way supposedly rational science-y people succumb to the same kind of aestheticization and signification of the allegedly cold arena of science and Einstein is literally just the cartoon image of Science Man.

>science
that's just a meme version of something else.

Why would anyone want to see an adaptation? You've already seen Evangelion once and it's not going to get much better than it's original form.

>>12229742
He’s right

>>12229880
I have never watched Evangelion but I like the redhead better and the blue haired woman that lives with the kid

>>12229896
Oh, I agree, I am totally against anime adaptations. It's the very fact of it being drawn in that medium and style that makes it what it is.

I just mean that if that character did have to be acted by a live person, Anya would be good at it.

I find Asuka more comical. Her immature brattiness is cute to me but not exactly attractive.

What do you guys do in there anyway?

>>12229709

Read lots of things, lots of poems. Learn about language(grammar, etymology), learn about your culture and other cultures. Learn about history. Basically learn experience and express.

That sounds mostly pointless.

The wheel of time is basically all about jumping between the doings of a bunch of different notables doing different stuff at the same time that occasionally intersects or sets up other stuff other people are doing later. (To the point that it became somewhat bogged down even.)

This is an odd question because this kind of thin happens a lot where the sidekick ends up being the narrator. One Flew Over the Cuckoo's nest is like this.

But is that the same as it being about the narrator necessarily and is an interesting jumping off point to wonder about what makes a protagonist and whats the difference between and protagonist and "a person that the story is about." I think a big part of the deal with a protagonist is that we are drawn to and autonomously identify them as heroes and see the story as being about them. Kids do this almost perfectly all the time with movies and nobody has to tell them who the hero is or socialize that idea into them which I find totally mind blowing. Like if you wrote a book from the perspective of a sidekick in a classic narrative, how hard would you have to try to move the spotlight off of the person who is most on a "hero's journey" before people would actually stop seeing the story as being about the actual hero? let me know what u think about this weird quandary

The universe is perfectly capable of producing an indefinite plenitude of different beings and powers getting up to stuff interacting and conflicting and cohering into greater super-powers and all sorts of other highly complex guffty-gup and what not; your typical writer is a much lesser divinity than the author of the universe, however.

If you care about literature you wouldn't be upset by how others absorbed it. There's also some books that we don't intend on holding on to (reading for academic reasons for example).
