Philosophies?

Some comments Kiss made have me thinking about the characters philosophies, so I thought I'd lay out my ideas here.

I agree that Karino is Machiavellian in a "it is better to be feared than loved" way.

I think Azusa has an Objectivist approach with his own happiness as the moral purpose of his life (if we can define his happiness as including taking down Karino/making Karino acknowledge him). This realization made me pause because I love Azusa and hate Ayn Rand, but What can I say? Azusa is a lot hotter than John Galt.

Senzaki seem to me to most closely follow Nietzsche, if we replace Nietzsche's love of the military with the Yakuza. He's a lion among lambs --romantic, passionate and extreme.

Right now, Tatsumi is more akin to Kierkegaard, who shared some existential elements with Nietzsche, but ultimate argued for choosing the greater good (e.g. society or religion) over love. Mind you, Kierkegaard continued to wine about the love he sacrificed for the rest of his life and she influence pretty much everything he wrote, but he gave her up. I think at this point, Tatsumi has "infinite resignation" though his duty is to family and not God (Kierkegaard was into God).

Atsumu seems like a happy Rogerian humanist--seeing the good in people and self-actualizing once he feels secure, stopping only when his emotional needs are not met. Lets hope he can develop unconditional positive self-regard, even if Kuze later tries to undermine that in order to "protect" him.

Kuze seem kind of utilitarian to me. Not so much the smarmy manipulative aspect of him, but the way he explains the caste system seem to reflect the greatest good for the greatest number. I'm going to pair him with Jon Stuart Mill who wrote about liberty but then said, "Despotism is a legitimate mode of government in dealing with barbarians."

    Have I mentioned my theory that typos are philosophical? Perhaps that "a" was seen as the shadow on the wall of a cave or something?Or maybe the A was impotent? There is a lot of pressure at the end of a word, ... Anoni Grrl

    Or that I just woke up in the morning and the first thing I checked was this while I was half asleep with shit in my eyes lol. (Im in Singapore) good point though. The pressure could be possible since I just finished my second mid year exam. Now I'm just listening to Marina and diamonds tracks while questioning my existence.

    Thanks. : ) I think that there are many bright fans, but I have issues that mean I am online more than most and this is one of my distractions from real life. It's fun for me.

    I'll bet you kicked ass on the exam :) You are bright and funny and that's more than enough to justify anyone's existence.
