It's hilarious how many people are too stupid to watch shit and think about it. The stuff said in the story is presenting to viewer a certain kind of opinion, a point of view. You as a viewer are supposed to think about the said view and analyse it and bring it in clash with your own view. Accept it as something different.

Saying that it's "stupid" only proves that you yourself are too narrow-minded to think about the opinion which is different from yours. Not saying that this particular anime/book offers enlightening opinions on the matter of human individualism and intellect but simply saying "it's stupid" is just lazy and makes you seems like an ultimate pleb. Shouldn't you try better, OP?

There is no philosophy.
There is author's try to make something poetical and intellectual. It's failed attempt not because it is teenage level or tryhard, it fail because the "clever things" characters saying are uncalled for and has no reason to be said. They don't describe characters or plot. Math was brought in Owarimonogatari as lead up to the story and describing characters trait. Here we got told that "Seven is a lonely number" for no reason. MC thinking about rebutting himself every morning for no reason. Lolli scientist is so mature and lonely for no reason other than being clever.
>>
>>133794620
>Here we got told that "Seven is a lonely number" for no reason.
There's plenty of reasons, Magata kinda speaks in riddles. It's her way of saying she feels lonely/isolated. After bringing up 7 she says B and D are the same, foreshadowing F being 15 in hex, which is at the heart of the mystery.

That's advancing the story and describing character traits like you said, it's not even using complicated math to do it just prime numbers and base-16.

The funny part is that the "pretentiousness" you're all so obsessed with isn't even a main focus on the show. Whenever a show attempts to show more intellectual depth than the average SOL you autists get triggered and act like a hipster just fucked your waifu.

Sometimes the author wants characters to say things that normal people wouldn't and act in ways that would be weird in real life. It's fucking fiction.

Maybe the real problem is that you're just too sensitive. It's just a character quirk that he idly philosophizes occasionally. It fits his nature.

The only other person who does anything like what you're describing is Shiki, and she's just a crazy weirdo.

You're taking habits of certain characters and using them to form an opinion of the entire show for some reason.

How aren't they? Moe is alright, but Soumei is a parody of an edgy teen used as a serious adult. And Shiki is mysterious and acts pretty much completely arbitrary. Everyone else is practically a non-entity.

And yeah, it's more contrived than most mysteries, because even the very existence of the facility makes no sense, never mind the fact that they keep Shiki there. And that's before you even get to the murder.
>>
>>133797691
>a parody of an edgy teen
What are you even talking about? Please explain these words and how they relate to that character
>>
>>133797193
I can stand Shiki's quirk. She's crazy and what she says makes sense in her own way. Sometimes, she even says something interesting (like what she told her sister when she hurt herself). It was weird and most people would be taken aback by it, but it made sense and it was beautiful in its simplicity. And it's probably also a core element of the mystery (she doesn't care about her body, or anyone else's, as long as the mind is intact).
But Souhei is one of the main characters, is doing it 80% of the time he's on the screen, and instead of being met with skepticism or even incomprehension by the other characters, he's seen as someone really smart and deep by all. But the things he says lack purpose, are devoid of meaning, and sometimes are even so stupid that I just want him to shut up. Like for example, that shit about why Shiki was the purest human being. Even if all that shit he spouted made any sense (he was talking about something similar to the concept of personas, and even adults have them), it would be stupid to say Shiki is more "human" for that. Following what he said, it'd be in human nature to get rid of your personalities as you grow up. It's like saying that someone that doesn't grow in height since he's 10 is more human that you or me. It would just mean that they have more childish aspects. In other words, utter nonsense. But instead of thinking he's being stupid, Moe gets mad but unable is to refute him.
>>
>>133797691
>Soumei is a parody of an edgy teen used as a serious adult.
He's not portrayed as a serious adult in the show, he can't use eyedrops correctly, he wears ridiculous shirts and flip-flops, he chain smokes to a ridiculous level and his adoration of Magata even though he's never met her clearly comes across as blatant fanboyism.

Not really. They just kind of tolerate him. Maybe if the show was fawning over him and acting like he was some kind of genius MC then I would understand where you were coming from, but you even said yourself that Moe gets frustrated when he does it, and that's one of the more important character interactions in the show. Like I said, it's just idle philosophizing.

The child didn't kill her, the child killed herself instead of killing her like she was supposed to. That's why I think either Moe or Saikawa said that Magata's body looks a lot younger than 29, because it's actually her daughter, who just really looks like her. Magata is pretending to be her sister. She snuck out when everyone was distracted by the body via the elevator, got in the helicopter, stabbed her Uncle in the back (that's why he was acting so odd in the helicopter when they first went to the roof, he was trying not to show that he was literally dying) then she pretended to have just arrived when the others came to the roof.

She was decleared not of sound mind and therefore not guilty. So instead of being confined to a mental institution and being treated, they just let her uncle lock her in the basement.

That's not the feeling I get. People value his opinion, enjoy having conversations with him, and regard him highly enough to let him conduct an investigation about Shiki's dead (let's face it, not even a multi billion dollars' deal would make you allow someone to tangle with a crime scene. If word got out, you'd be in deep shit, and they could even close the lab). And sure, Moe gets mad at him... but not because he's philosophizing, but because of his blind admiration towards Shiki. It looks more like she's jealous of Shiki than frustrated by his attitude.

He's a college professor who's very accomplished in his field. That accounts for most of what you're talking about.

The fact that they allow the "investigation" to happen reflects the deal that they made, like you said. For the record, the lab is obviously going to close anyway, because Shiki is dead; they just don't want to lose this huge deal they've been working on for years before it shuts down, and they have no reason to suspect either of them, so they let it go.

Besides that, Moe seems to enjoy talking to him, but that's just because she likes him.

It's not like he's some average Joe who's hypnotizing a bunch of people with his astounding intelligence. He's a figure well known for his work.

Sorry, I should have included "anyone who didn't drop it because they're actually enjoying it".

It's quite possibly the worst writing I've ever seen in terms of dialog. There are shows where you can tell the author has no idea how smart people think, but this series comes right out of the gates and beats you over the head with a metal bat about it.

Don't start with that coy bullshit. Here's a work email for an event I went to (feel free to look up the institute). I work with smart people every single day, and I'm one them. How many Nobel Laureates have you ever talked to, because I guarantee I've talked to more. I think that's a pretty good bar to set for "how do smart people think?" and I can fucking promise you that it's nothing like the garbage spewed in this show. Pull you pretentious little head out of your ass.

There's a clear cut implication there, and I don't appreciate the coyness. It's grating.

>But I guess you're just an asshole,
It's ok, I'm a smart asshole. You want the real answer to "how do smart people think?" Most of them are completely absorbed in their work and their work alone. A lot of them can hardly hold a conversation without coming across dull as bricks. Do you see how I can type in English and explain my thoughts to you clearly and concisely with some level of articulation? Most of them can't do that, and can only spit out endless technical details of their work. That's the reality for how most smart people think and talk. The idea that they talk in endless waves of middle school level philosophy without ever actually saying anything of substance is ridiculous, as is the notion that "smart people" actually have in depth knowledge regarding pretty much every facet of life (see: any Sherlock Holmes inspired character). The difference is that Sherlock Holmes type detectives can be entertaining and clever whereas this shit is just painful to watch.

What he meant I suppose is the creation of ego, the combination of id and superego. Ego is the mediator between the two, while id represents emotional/physiological needs and superego the 'moral compass.'

What edge mcsharp sensei said is that she never resolved her inner conflict - which apparently isn't necessary for people to live on - and thus developed multiple personalities.

It is said that often those who are consider genius borderline insanity, perhaps of the way their brains were physically constructed. Savant artists are one similar example.

One of the thing that's often brought up by the show is that humans become dumber as they age, because they have lost the ability to think like children, who are free of conflicts because they can think and do how they want due to the unresolved personalities.

Personally, I liked the banter and discussion. Is it pretentious? That's subjective. Do I like the brain juggle? Yes, I do.

No, pretentious (by definition) means that someone isn't as smart as they think they are. I'm objectively smart by all measures, and saying "I'm smart" isn't pretentious at all. You can call me an asshole all you want, but whining won't change the fact that I'm smart.
