Another great show that discuss the utilitarian philosophy is Fate/Zero. They propose this dilemma: 2 boats,1 with 300 people, 1 with 200 people, both has a mechanical problem that you can repair. Which boat do you save? Most people would choose the boat with 300 people. Ok, now the boat with 300 people has to divide in 2 more boats, 1 with 200 people and 1 with 100. The same mechanical and so on. If you sacrifice the few to save the many, in the end everybody will be sacrificed.

It’s simple the train analogy their is another option use Al my might to break the lever then uuse the lever smash it on the tracks to mess up the tracks then before the train can reach either part it’ll stop automatically because trains and trolleys require a trackntonufnction and if it’s near I’d just throw th lever at the car windshield and then the car Elwood veer away belcause of the Windhoek eyeful doesn’t matters . See the tree why both pellucid and Suzuki are flawed they simply didn’t to have the heart to see a way in whcih everyone can be happyninfludijgnthemspves

Charles was doing domain expansions before they were cool. 😂

great vid

I watched it during 6th grade,im now a junior in high school and rewatched it 2 times. Hachiman is the best anime character in my opinion

The first you witness death the second you commit murder lelouch at first wanted to sacrifice the black knights and Britannia for nanally but came around and sacrificed him self for the world

Brain dead show 😂 trash

The standoff in Cs world is probably one of my favorite scenes of all time

I despise eren, all my homies despise eren

No because he is Comic Guy from the Simpson with IQ of 160

this show was ahead

Its pretty funny how when a solution to end all suffering or conflict or chaos is revealed by the villains in Anime, its always rejected for some bias opinion or selfishness created through the symptoms of suffering, conflict and chaos yet they want to also progress but never accept the solutions so its endless time wasting and suffering. Theres no point in a future if there will never be the outcome of stagnant peace, just endless suffering for "progress". Theres no "progress" in the Afterlife of many religions, its stagnant, absolute rules, peace and happiness for eternity and yet in a world influenced by Time, its unacceptable and tyrannical unless from God. Charles was "selfish" in wanting something that would skip all the suffering and conflict of humanity for the outcome of eternal peace, he had the power and will but Lelouch had plot armor.

i belief this anime can open up smh the eyes of "american culture" nowadays :)

Aint the real dilema being faced with the situation of either being responsible for greater evils than thosse that are happening by other people around you or having everythign around you being lost in you doing nothing. Which is in fact the dilemma Suzaku broke acted on when he killed his father mayby its just a constant that is recurrent on the film, for zero's actions has a zero are ammounting to evil compared to the base plot but they would mean nothing to him if they were not commited, alike do you prefer to feel and know things evily or to not at all hence its a choice between the world and zero he is a position where he is becoming 0 or has become? but he is not fine with it think he is no one and his story only changes when he eventually comes out has zero and changes the wholle scheme of thigns of how they work and he is like a renegade something something else the system made not just 0 in its meaning but a zero the zero the main zero main character zero, hes the point why it has to change, this anime did it in this sense before most nowdays animes have a great catch phrase for summing up why the hero is in a fqd up position and is gonna come back from it, but usually the hero just becomes better at diferent levels of strenght of char or abilities in this anime lelouch comes back from having nothing to having everything and being zero maight have been needed because by having nothing he finally knew what he whanted with his new found powers and visions of emptiness he could see clearly his and others desires and void towards him his wishes, not always sucessfully but in his capabilities like when he dealt with chirley (within his moral code)

Not lowkey. Highkey. There are a lot of misunderstood "villains" in the history of the entertainment media. Eren is not one of them. He is 100% acting RIGHT. There is no ambiguity, even though it is falsely portrayed as such in the anime. They punish people for something what they ancestors did. They trap them in a cage, isolated from the rest of the world. They let them believe there is nothing besides those barren fields filled with monsters outside the walls and the country within the walls. They then attack that country again for no reason, leading to so many innocents dying and suffering. And finally they plan to just resort to good old g*nocide. But Eren saying "if you try to wipe us out, I will do the same to you" makes him a villain? Yeah right. Eren is one of the most clearest examples of a righteous character acting in self defense.

this thing came to me in the most weird phase of my life i was studying something I really had no passion about , it helped

Another issue is Suzaku doesn't join the knight of rounds to change the system. R2, where the paradox comes up, is where these characters go off the deep end. Like Lelouch says, he sold him out to climb up a rank. And then he makes Lelouch call Nunally, he tries to use refrain on Kallen. The means matter less to him despite it still being in his nature. The part where he cares more about the means is in R1 where he works with Euphy, which almost worked. After he lost Euphy and Lelouch lost Nunally both changed dramatically. Even Rolo killing Shirley is another example of ends > means. The secret was kept secure, no matter who dies. If you cared about who died, then the means > the end result. Which is ironic since the end result involves nunally, hence Suzaku needing to support him in the zero requiem.

The only issue with the trolley problem parallel is that in one way, it's a lesser evil. Lelouch in r2 truly goes off the deep end and gets a bit aimless. The biggest example is the geass order massacre, after he killed Charles there really was no end plan besides destroying britania.

An excellent video with a brilliant take on the iconic masterpiece that is Psycho Pass

just a little tip for the very end, if you play the japanese voice while showing different fotage it would be helpful if you laid the subtitles over the video so that we can read all the lines, rather than just the ones where you show the actual fotage of when Eren said it

if there was ever such a thing as a perfect world. I'd want to the the villain

I would push the fat guy off. I don't care about saving the five people, I just want the fat guy gone lmao

Ahhh yes, the discount “human instrumentality project”

The hedgehog dilemma

this show gave me hard mgs2 vibes, how they built tension within an ideological conflict of freewill and control was no doubt genius. Seriously, I've never been so intrigue by a villain's monologuing before, dope show.

Knowing you can be both a NPC and a main character is kind of a hard truth.. Transforming into an external observer of this reality *_is goddam painful_* indeed..

RAYEN YOU REAL ASF FOR THIS YOU SOMEHOW PUT THE STORY INTO WORDS EASY TO CONVEY 🤌🤌🤌

Eren is totally justified. did anyone hate on the European countries for colonizing more than half the world and killing so many people?

destiny is getting on a plane and reaching the destination. Free will is what you do while you’re on that plane.

its not genocide because it’s not targeting a specific group of people. Its speciocide

Who let bro cook

If someone is willing to take my freedom, I won't hesitate to take theirs.🗣

Read the manga, its only short like 60 chapters or so, anime is bad adaptation despite being enjoyable they paced it bad and cut most the stuff that actually makes the manga good, the manga goes very in depth on actual art theory and psychology of artists the paintings and actual art they draw look trash in the anime too for some reason

Did u realise that the second half of the song was actually going backwards

We would completely understand bob! Understand that he's an idiot!

Lelouch Vi Brittania commands you to like and subscribe? 🤣

Not all passionate people are allowed to do what they are passionate about..

Being a slave of your own nature suggests that no one ever has free will yet you have a choice to what you want or obsess over right? It’s a contradiction

Wouldnt the sword of akasha just be the biggest case of DID ever conceived

It sounds whacky bcoz the second half is reversed !! Both visuals and the audio

In some way Charles plan is like Ywach’s. They both wanted a world without pain or suffering where people could be happier, but in doing so the world they would create would be stagnant and never change or develop

Lelouch is correct except the ends do not justify the means as the means can corrupt your end result you may think you've gotten what you want but you often leave something behind and if you are cold and callous that thing can foment into another tragedy ( see US actions during the cold war in Afghanistan). Suzaku is childish and cannot see past the tip of his nose, from the moment you are in the trolly problem with the power to decide choosing not to do anything has the same outcome and moral consequences of choosing to let the group of 5 die. Suzaku is only trying to clear his conscience but doing so requires him to be willfully ignorant of the institutionalized violence he is a party to. The trolly problem is limited and oversimplified though because it gives you no other options which you may have in real life. In real life there are often other people and other things around that give you alternatives to throwing the switch . It's a good example to use talking about this show because both Suzaku and Lelouch would absolutely take advantage of these other options, Lelouch has geass and Suzaku is superhuman. For both of them there is a third choice but I think that's what geass is literally meant to represent in the story, Suzaku eventually gets his own geass power from Lelouch.

Glad, I wasn't the only one who didn't get that the song is reversed in second half... IKR it sounds so unbelievable that I could not even image that they would do it.

it really breaks my heart how XiXi walks towards the light, her home, back to her dead mom while Li Tianchen walks towards darkness, completely lost

Great video. I personally don't feel that in a realistic world, Lelouch's plan for the future (the show's ending) would fail. It is probably the most perfect ending to a story ever, yet it does not work in reality. I really don't know if you can stop evil, and I'd say that you should chose the lesser evil if forced to make a choice, but otherwise you should still try to be a good and moral person.

This was very insightfull. I'm on my third rewatch of code geass and I still struggled to understand what charles wanted. I personally think that schniezel has the least bad plan for the future, but that's just me

Of course he wouldn't be happy by the time he reached the ocean, he literally had his father's memories of how the rest of the world viewed his people, they weren't free since the world wanted them all dead because they were Eldians I view the story as warning not let hatred amass for 2000 years, for the world not to be filled with it that the only solution becomes the rumbling, Willy pretty much sentenced the world to it, Eren waited for four years and only after the declaration of war was the plan put into motion, only after the representatives of the nation in the world were crying tears of joy at the thaught of genocide. Marley was also the nation were the Eldians were treated the best, if that doesn't tell you how the world of AoT is wrong on a fundamental level that i don't know what is

No, is a nazi

this is also because passion was never thought in school and society would pressure you. what they taught in school was mostly standardize theories and such so you'll fit for a job like a mechanical robort working your days off with repetitive cycle of what you're doing that's why it's easier to get burn out. your not doing actually what you like it's just a job who give you money. plus art is not really viewed highly that's why it can earn only less compared to famous jobs out there

Pull the lever only thing stopping me from killing the one person is if the 5 were criminals then I would kill the 5 men
