@tidal shore @dusty fable can you explain the quote about the seperation of military and police because if military becomes the external and internal protector, the enemy tends to be the civilians?

So historically, rulers tried to divest power from military as much as possible without crippling it

So, as soon as military has a complete control of all military assets, the first enemy is the ruler(or government). As soon as military becomes the ruler, they just start to enrich themselves without much consideration for people. So any unrest will be met with military power. You don't need to look far, there are plenty of countries with military in charge at different stages of power encroachment today. The only more or less decent one is Egypt, but that is only as long as US money floats them and military scale back their ambitions because US investment is more lucrative than anything they can achieve in their region themselves.

It's not a binary choice. Also, rewarding good deeds could be detrimental. That could replace an internal motivator for good deeds with an external one. Ideally, people should come up with their own reasons to do good, so that it would be consistent and becomes a habit. External motivators could be inconsistent (as can be seen through history with how religions developed). While religions' impact is mostly positive, there are many disadvantages to it

Wdym the only choice? As I said, these two choices are not mutually exclusive. And in generalisation, they are both wrong.

Well, topic of vigilantes is also heavily explored. The conclusion is that single person can't keep a stable moral coordination system.

Not the best possible solution, but workable

dusty fable
I mean, technically they're the same thing <a:W_HuLurking:813043888675356741>
You could argue they are the same (in semantics), but for example in Christianity there is clear division: heaven and hell. Evildoers are all punished by being sent to hell, and good deeds are rewarded by good ppl being sent to heaven(in a very simplified form, since the point is not going into theological debate but show the distinctiveness of options). The division is clear, and reasoning is too. If you meant these options exist together working as a counterpoint and lose the meaning if only single one exists, then I agree
topaz linden
You could argue they are the same (in semantics), but for example in Christianit...
I meant that you cant say it's a choice between "good deeds are rewarded" OR "bad deeds are punished", since just going off of simple psychology, not giving a punishment can be a "reward" ("You're the only one that got this right, so you don't have to attend the afterschool classes"), and not giving a reward can be considered punishment ("you failed your exam, so you don't get to go to Disneyland").
The heaven and hell bit is really just a matter of degrees really. How much good is rewarded and evil punished.
dusty fable
I agree that absence of punishment is technically a reward, and absence of reward is technically punishment, but as far as reinforcement goes, they are not the same. Because absence of reward would be a continuous punishment, which wouldn't be a punishment at all due to adaptation and normalization
Which means after a time absence of reward becomes normal, and stops being considered a punishment

See, that's not even the original question anymore
That's moved from hypothetical morality to logistics and practicality.
The original premise didnt even specify what rewards/punishment

Also there was an interesting dynamic and meta-storytelling hidden behind those episodes. Usually, they were put there 1) to unwind you after a story bombshell 2) make you soft and relaxed before hitting you with a bombshell(like killing a chara) for maximized effect. Eventually these episodes became a "red flag" and viewers started second-guessing what would happen next, if such an episode appeared. So that whole metagame was kinda lost

A bit of that too. But it's more about "what we are remembered for". There are some interesting concepts like: if you are a teacher, are your teachings worth anything if none of your students amount to anything? Are your teachings worth a lot if they produce superior students? Would you be remembered by your successful students and what if there are none? It's boring, but interesting

In general, there are a couple super rare tropes in Frieren. One of them is a dead person as one of the main characters. Meaning, they take significant role in the development of the story but they themselves technically stopped developing at the point of their death. But we experience the development through the way the story is told. It's a very rare trope and I often find it in the most interesting stories

Well, dungeon meshi is an oddball overall. Usually, the point of the trope is to get an "alien" perspective on some normal everyday thing to make it interesting. Dungeon Meshi creates an Alien perspective on Alien setting and I don't know how it works, probably how nobody knows how DnD games work

Toriko, Gintama and Beelzebub - the three anime that were on my "to watch" list for the longest time. All of them were pretty much top shows 15 years ago

Or something decently good that has low chance of being turned into anime like Raqiya or Dorohedoro. Though Dorohedoro was eventually animated out of nowhere to my surprise

dusty fable
Dorohedoro manga is my favorite "what is this fucked up setting" manga. Afaik the author was an assistant to the author of Blame! And took everything even further
Arguably, it's the first time the trope "a person living in a monster's mouth" appears. At least that I know of. It became somewhat popular after that with Hells Paradise and 7thPrince being the latest usages of this trope
In case of Dorohedoro, there is a person inside a Cayman
And that Caiman bites other people's heads to let the person inside him find someone he is looking for

dusty fable
I still disagree with this
Ofc it exists as a compound knowledge or a set of criteria you come up with. Correct me if I am wrong, but I assumed that you meant "intellectual highground" behind "media literacy". If so, no such highground exists, only we ourselves try to imagine that it does. If you meant "good taste", then it only develops only up to a point and pretty quickly, so not a useful metric either, since it's very subjective and only useful to people with similar taste. If you meant that you get a better selection process, while it's true, it also means you are prone to discard good outliers. Which means none of these possible meanings of media literacy can be used for comparison of expertise
dusty fable
by media literacy I meant the ability to critically analyse media
Ok, that I can agree with. But it's more down to critical thinking ability. You won't develop it just by watching tons of anime or reading books

personally I'd start with applying critical thinking to media, any form of media really
dusty fable
Well if it's the process of "applying critical thinking" I don't think it needs any sort of secondary naming to confuse things. If we are talking about the product of said application, then maybe
tidal shore
yea the thing is I genuinely don't think it's just applying critical thinking

The question is, is the product the end result or not? How useful it is?

Idk it was invented in 20th century Idk what intellectuals at the time thought
people love patterns and to categorise everything, my best guess is that this is useful so far as in talking about it among people who know about it
or perhaps there was a need to create the distinction, since critical thinking is a process that can be applied to anything
so you get best practices for engineering, maths, physics, science, etc that have been defined over time
field specific stuff

Ok, nice analogy. I can work with that
So, can we call media literacy media fitness then?
dusty fable
media fitness makes a bit more sense to me tbh
Physical fitness is a compound metric. Technically it's not necessary, because it can be described through stamina, agility, strength etc
So there is no need for physical fitness to exist. Except to vaguely define a general level of quality of physical state of the body
I don't think I used word fitness much, but I can see why it might be useful

More like it requires meta thinking. Which is thinking about thinking, and since the term is self reflective it's in constant state of self updating

Yeah, it's still pretty vague. Because the intent behind an article is manifold. The intent of an author can be different from intent of an editor.

Ok, so the main function is basically knowledge extraction
Specifically from media
I agree that it involves a multitude of thought processes, not just critical thinking.
In that frame I can accept media literacy. The problem is, such extracted knowledge is almost never definite and there is no known way to me to prove that the knowledge you extracted is any better than the knowledge other person extracted.

Concerning novels, there is value in different opinions. Often, an extracted knowledge has little relevance to the author's intent or idea but is still valuable due to unusual or new perspective, even if it is far from truth
Which is why even if the person is wrong, their take is good. So, sometimes a 6yo child can provide an interesting insight. At which point media literacy is not useful to describe insight
So I guess my main point is, media literacy shouldn't be used to discard insights, even if they seem wrong. There is often value in the lens through which the person looked at the subject

They can sue on per claim basis. And the claims themselves are pretty vague.

Like, Nintendo cucked Switch 2 buyers with subpar screens, with refresh rates worse than previous gen and nobody cared
The refresh rates are so bad, the screen physically refreshes at 30 fps in non performance mode

You know what's interesting: there is often city sewage systems depicted in western cartoons, like in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, or marvel or DC Comics. But I can't remember a case of anime using city sewers extensively in a story. It's especially interesting, that most of the anime takes place in Tokyo, and Tokyo being the biggest metropolitan area in the world must have massive sewers. And I never encountered even a hint of how it works in anime

I meant Tokyo specifically, compared to New York

I'm pretty sure it's New York a lot of the time because it's famous for the subways and sewer systems beneath the streets
Tokyo is known for its extensive sewers as well?

Well, that's the point. Tokyo is the biggest metropolitan area, so its sewers must be massive to accommodate all that population and area. Biggest in the world = interesting already, which is why I am curious it's not represented in anime.

First episode reaction: I was stunned to see that there isn't an opening, just immediately entered the story. I already know there wil be a bit of love triangle, since Tohru is a dog chinese zodiac want to become a cat chinese zodiac, that attracts Shigure but pushes away Yuki, but I think there will be a turnabout for Yuki later on

I think I know what my friend mean about Fruits Basket, for the traditional game, I already know from the friend as well, but the anime itself, I'm starting to understand it myself just by the first episode, the philosophy of the anime is that Tohru is essentially a normal fruit in a basket full of eccentric food, she will be in the conflicts of super powers while being powerless herself, she will never be truly accepted in that basket itself
