I’m currently doing my psychiatry rotation and have lost count of the psychotic patients who are able to recount in extraordinary vivid detail their experiences with the FBI, murderous neighbours, ghosts, demons and aliens. It is characteristic of psychosis that the individual does not have...

Evolution is a completely blind process without global teleological direction. It changes organismic function to suit its local environment and that’s about it – there is no organized global change to an organisms evolutionary span hence why most organisms are extinct. However, one thing clear...

You need to understand their relationship and its progression from the beginning to understand the significance of the chapter. Personally, I am a guy who is usually completely apathetic to pairings and romance in any form but I was deeply moved by this chapter, probably for the first time in my...

I think it’s still possible that Kaneki may die at the end, leaving Touka and his kid behind, and possible but unlikely that both will die together in the end, but killing off Touka before Kaneki wouldn’t make any sense. Kaneki has only been becoming more stable as a character since Cochlea...

Holy fckn sh1t! Take note mangakas who wish to troll – this is how it’s done. Ishida censures the first kiss of the hero and heroine of his manga, and this in an ostensive parallel to the same chapter of the original manga where another duo (Amon/Akira) failed to resolve, only to draw a...

Normally I’m the guy who’s completely indifferent to pairings and romantic subplots in manga, the Kaneki/Touka pairing is the only exception, the only pairing in manga/anime that I’ve ever ‘shipped’ – mainly because, aside from their interactions in the original making that manga as others have...

Geert Wilders is the European version of a Neoconservative, and his mother is of mixed Ashkenazi/Indonesian heritage as far as I'm aware (his father is a White Dutch). However, discerning differences between similar looking things is a highly g-loaded task, and leftists of the OP's caliber do...

Higgs’ and Guth’s work are both among the testable products of modern particle physics. Though you are correct that modern theoretical physics is more philosophy than science - although this has more to do with the fact that all the low and even medium hanging fruit of the experimental tree have...

Trump's win was accurately predicted by a plethora of folk with common sense from ex-CIA agent Michael Scheuer to physicist Gregory Cochran. In fact, accurately predicting the results of political elections in first world countries is now automatable...

The real spoilers are out and it's basically the fights of the last chapter continued. This Rue island subplot is getting dragged on too long now - I hope we finish it soon so we can see what's happened to Ken.

Man if Tatara goes out I hope he at least takes that schizophrenic Takizawa out. Guy's the most annoying character in this manga.

So I just caught up with Bleach after having stopped reading the manga at the Fullbringer arc ... you know while reading it I was honestly under the impression that it was going to end decently by shonen standards until the Yhwach vs Ichigo fight. Holy f*** did it go downhill from there. I...

Re: Tokyo Ghoul:re Chapter 86 Discussion and 87 Predicitons Ken becoming the OEK was probably predictable, good call on Arima being the bridge. She has some plot armour going for her (Yoshimura asking Ken to 'save' her) but yeah, this is by far the most awful death in the manga if it...

Re: Tokyo Ghoul:re Chapter 86 Discussion and 87 Predicitons Holy ****, is Eto going to die? What an anticlimactic and sad end to her character, fodderized by Furuta. I think you called it on Ken being the OEK, Ciao. So they now have squad 0, :re and presumably what's left of Aogiri too...

Yup, recently Indian Americans have started becoming competitive. I've had a look at some JEE papers and they make the age-equivalent like A Levels or AP in the west seem like a bad joke - though the International Olympiads makes even the JEE look like a joke. And yes, I suspect a main reason...

In recent years the US and Russia - once the undisputed world champions of these competitions - have been beaten by China again and again in pretty much all of the International Science Olympiads (a testament to the rise of China, if you ask me) but the US has now won its second consecutive win...

Mori Jin given your cluelessness, telling other people to 'check a book' is a very ironic thing indeed. And given your Islamist leanings, tell me - what do you make of Erdogan's recent endeavors to reconcile with Israel: http://www.haaretz.com/middle-east-news/.premium-1.708133 "At their...

The Middle East - politically - is a binary place. It's always either a secular military dictatorship or some variety of Islamist authoritarianism. Often these two factions are at each other's throats. This is basically the entire story of Egypt in the last century, with Morsi being the most...

Just picked up this manga and damn is it good stuff! Eto and Kaneki are beaten to exhaustion if not half-dead and Touka's group is in trouble again. I thought Arima's death was the climax of the arc here but it looks like it's not over yet.

I'm wondering about that too - really sad that the guy seems to have left the forum. I really enjoyed reading his posts, even though we have some fundamental differences between us, e.g., he is a traditional American conservative whereas my worldview is closest to the 'alt-right' as it's now...
