No, I'm playing along, I even shielded myself with Chaos there.

That IS applying it IRL Take for instance, I study medicine check the books and this semester as part of the pharmacology course we're taught to do several basic, but complex multiplications for dosification purposes and we're asked to do it without calculator. You have no idea how many people are failing because of this. You probably study an engineer or something so you see big equations, but down here middle level is where this is most clear.

DeSu1 has a great story, closer to SMT 1, introduces the gameplay well, but it's rather difficult and it's has the unpolishedness of a first game in a series.

DeSu2 has better gameplay, but the story is iffy and a little dumb, the improvements in gameplay made the game far too easy too.

DeSu 1 has better story and characters, DeSu 2 had better gameplay until they made Overclocked. Now the only reason to touch DeSu 2, at least before BR comes out, is if you want to play as an autist, like Evangelion, or are a waifufag.

>You have no idea how many people are failing because of this. You probably study an engineer or something so you see big equations, but down here middle level is where this is most clear.

Sexoterapia? Sounds lewd.
I do in fact study Oil & Gas Engineering But they ARE failing.
If they intend on pursuing that career, they will have to work it out somehow. Also, while this is a lesser point, mathematics are but one part of humans' general knowledge. Some people are shit at math, but most people are very good at something.

>but even reading a little piece is big knowledge, it wakes up interest and hunger for knowledge

Of course, but a book is hardly the only thing that causes this.
I can think of a lot of situations where I looked something up on wikipedia, then an hour later was reading about completely unrelated stuff.

>what?
Gramscianism is the baby of Antonio Gramsci, an italian socialist who created the concept of Cultural hegemony. Basically appropriating culture in order to further a specific ideal.
In his case, creating a culture to oppose the bourgeoisie.
But he opened a can of worms since people use it in feminism and similar "causes."
It's one of the reasons why people nowadays are easily offended and can't take a joke. Many see it as privilege and etc.

I know that feel. I'm still stuck on what I should pick. If they're non-lewd I don't know if /smtg/ would be interested.

>Addition, subtraction, multiplication and divisions are part of a human's general knowledge. Everything beyond it such as algebra and calculum is studied, taught, and can only be learned through teaching or self-discovery.

Good point. But those people in your class DO know addition, subtraction and multiplication.
Chances are, they just don't practice it, so they get rusty.

>So it's the root ideology that those with power are priviledged, and that they should be brought down?

More or less. Gramscianism itself relates more specifically to modern socialist strategy, which involves cultural hegemony, which is what you described.

Taken from wikipedia:
>In Marxist philosophy, the term Cultural hegemony describes the domination of a culturally diverse society by the ruling class, who manipulate the culture of that society — the beliefs, explanations, perceptions, values, and mores — so that their ruling-class worldview becomes the worldview that is imposed and accepted as the cultural norm; as the universally valid dominant ideology that justifies the social, political, and economic status quo as natural, inevitable, perpetual and beneficial for everyone, rather than as artificial social constructs that benefit only the ruling class.

Modern marxists, feminists, and such, use this concept in order to further their own ideals by trying to take control of culture.
SJW influence in video games is actually a very glaring part of this.

It was a branch of psychology, so it was mostly shit like how orgasms work and how men can only have one and women several
How a fetish is not a paraphilia (psycological disorder) if you can get exited by other things, shit like that. I started a shitstorm by asking the teacher if drawn child pornography, lolicon, was considered paedophilia. Answer ended up "as long as it's not a paraphilia it's not, and shouldn't be illegal if no child is hurt.

>they just don't practice it, so they get rusty
I dunno man, maybe I'm just too good a pythaogoras theorem, they all gave me weird looks when I told them they could do the theorem in a different order and it was going to give the same result. Lots of people choose medicine because they think "there is no math here".

So Cultural Hegemony is having the "alpha" culture amongst the rest of the cultures in a diverse society.... To push your own agenda, huh? World is filled with crazy people, ain't it? Glad to know SJWs ideology has a name.

That's... a bit worrying, not gonna lie.

Yep. The funny thing about it is, socialists and SJWs accuse the supposed "groups in power" of this, while they try to do it themselves.

And the way they try, it's honestly very worrying. Because people are starting to buy into it. People are being indoctrinated by them, and they don't even realize it.
This, too, is part of gramscianism.
It's called "Passive Revolution"
Again, wikipedia:

>Passive revolution is a term coined by Italian politician and philosopher Antonio Gramsci during the interwar period in Italy. Gramsci coined the term to refer to a significant change that is not a rupturous one, but a slow and gradual metamorphosis which could take years or generations to accomplish.

The archangels were waiting for the messiah to establish the Thousand Year kingdom, they couldnt wait and created the MC to be the messiah but by doing so they made YHVH mad and thus he abandoned them.

yes the games have their own continuities, unless otherwise stated, but i think there's some subtext that major demons are continuous between games, but that's pure speculation.

In his original lore that the games derive from mastema was an angel who when he saw god cast the demons out of heaven, he asked to be allowed some as subordinates so that he could cause them to tempt humans to see which humans were good. His role in Iv parallels this. Ignore strange journey. What he's doing in iv has very little to do with that.

Basically what it is then is God is the god of order. So he is a force of order in the world, as are the angels. However, its not clear how MUCH order that means he wants. So there's a disagreement. Its never made clear whose side God is on, or whether he allows them both to do different things to see who wins. But the regular archangels are beings of order. They want the law end as a world of max order. Mastema however at the very least believes that God "allowed him demons as subordinates," and that rather than create a world of order he could try to create a neutral world with "just enough" order. He insists this is God's true will. they disagree, so they fight eachother.

An interesting side note is that polytheistic gods can come in many flavors. Law, neutral, or chaos. However, angels it seems are absolute beings. They only exist as either angels or fallen angels. Fallen meaning shift to absolute chaos. So the angelic "neutral" representative can only function as neutral by averaging out the law and chaos influences. Which in this context means a lawful angel working with chaotic fallen angels.

They come to challenge Raidou at his request in King Abaddon in several Case Files, and also do their job as servants of God when summoned by man's despair in the Infinite Abyss.

IV is really the first time that they've been an enemy of Chaos, as Belial sealed them away in Infernal Tokyo. Though their dialogue where they send you away until you accept the quest suggests that they stay there willingly.

It's not that different. Angels are still Lawfags and Demons are still Chaosfags.

Just that most demons don't go to the extreme, and there are peaceful angels even if most are assholes. And the Pope is a pretty cool guy..

But if you must know of a Heaven seen in other games, look at Majin Tensei II's Amnesia.

are you referring to the postmodern 'belief makes it real'/ it's an embodiment of some aspect of the collective human condition thing that smt does with some demons?

i don't think that applies to every being. big guys like yhvh, brahman, whatever, can exist outside of humanity.

whatever. there are no right answers anyway.
cozy and kaneko are cockteases with the lore

also, there is a huge distinction between being 'from space' and 'predating the earth'
also isn't Sanat Kumara from Venus? so it's not a big deal that some beings are from space. it's an idea that already exists in the collective awareness of world mythology and folklore, so why would it not apply to smt?

Thinking about it, I believe it's possible Mastema had servant angels in the past. Since something happened to make Walter and Jonathan's mangas alternate worlds, it's likely some of his servants are still around in those alternate realms.

They probably got killed off in the game timeline.

Daily reminder that Atlus are dirty fucking niggers apes that can't do shit but suck balls. Fucking tards who can't even bring a stupid digital download game to yurop. America was right in bombing you fuckers, at least you were punctual in exploding

Yeah he came across as a dick sometimes, but I think that's just the kind of guy Isamu was. Musubi also had the best ending music.

Isn't it mostly Atlus USA's fault? It's them who're publishing SMT IV in Europe, not the main Atlus branch.

Complete isolation, absolute loneliness. Surrounding yourself by a world where you control everything and it's absolutely impossible for anything to truly surprise you or plainly interact with you.

I wouldnt say that considering YHVH does seem to be surprised by a lot of things, besides if you wanted someone to be with you just create one.

Lonliness was for Isamu own world.
