yuji and kenjaku? or jin and kenjaku?
By now we've reached chapter 244, Jjk is becoming more and more unpredictable, but I suspect that when we know who Kenjaku really is and why he and Yuji are close, the answer might be about what Wasuke wanted to say to Yuji just before leaving him forever.
Tumblr media
What reinforces this thought of mine is the fact that in chapter 143 Wasuke seemed to know that if Jin continued to be near the person who took Kaori's body, he would be in danger. Also, this chapter informs us that Jin was apparently aware that Kaori was not "Kaori", because Wasuke says "But her death was-" By her death he meant -> the death of the real Kaori. This is probably exactly why Wasuke thinks his son is in danger. So we are certain that Kaori is theoretically dead, but... here she is. It is obvious that anyone, especially a parent like Wasuke who is aware that that woman cannot be Kaori, would not want his son to be with a dangerous impostor.
Tumblr media
Jin doesn't seem to care much and it's very strange… and creepy. When Wasuke begins to speak, Jin interrupts him, making it clear that he has no intention of listening to words that accuse Kaori.I've always wondered what connection there is between Yuji and Kenjaku, but perhaps the real question is: what connection is there between Jin and Kenjaku?
Tumblr media
And... what if it all started from the two of them?

And the trouble with Polly was that she had a mind that asked questions even when she really, really didn't want to know the answers.

There is no need for man to move according to a carefully-considered plan. This is a purely aesthetic demand which need not bind us. Let man senselessly and deliriously knock his head against the wall — if the wall go down at last, will he value his triumph any the less? Unfortunately for us the illusion has been established in us that plan and purpose are the best guarantee of success. What a delusion it is! The opposite is true. The best of all that genius has revealed to us has been revealed as the result of fantastic, erratic, apparently ridiculous and useless, but relentlessly stubborn seeking.

Hey
Guys
Please remember
Your jokes may be offensive to someone.
Most likely, the person will not say anything / laugh / just turn away, but he will remember it. It will hurt him a lot, but he won't tell you, because he's probably too shy for that.
Please
Watch what you say, really
Especially close people
Have a nice day, I love you all)

Thanks @purpleplaid17 for gif ;)

"What, in fact, is the absurd man? He who, without negating it, does nothing for the eternal. Not that nostalgia is foreign to him. But he prefers his courage and his reasoning. The first teaches him to live without appeal and to get along with what he has; the second informs him of his limits. Assured of his temporally limited freedom, of his revolt devoid of future, and of his mortal consciousness, he lives out his adventure within the span of his lifetime. That is his field, that is his action, which he shields from any judgment but his own. A greater life cannot mean for him another life."
Albert Camus, The Myth of Sisyphus

Many people suggest that they realized their life's passion at a young age. Recently, I began to wonder what it was that I was passionate about as a child. There was no occupation that I could remember exciting me into a state of focused intention. As a child, I did not fantasize about becoming any one occupation. My only long term goal was to become absolutely reasonable.
At a young age I was prone to recognizing the seemingly infinitely contradictive nature of people's biases. It drove me to reject all forms of authority. My brain would formulate intricate arguments against the ideologies of others, no matter their stance. It took some time and experience to realize that EVERY ideology has inherent faults. Upon this recognition, I would refrain from going against the biases and ideologies of others and instead, accept them as parts of a grand picture. We do not contain the inherent ability to recognize that every single one of our assumptions contain faults due to their individualized definition that separates them from all other things. Each ideology does not take into account all others by default. I take all ideologies into consideration, recognizing their relative value as well as their inherently faulty nature. Through this, I can be absolutely reasonable, as long as I am mindful of my own conditioned human responses and affinity toward ideological assumptions.

Smack about Empathy.
Smack is a mini-podcast in which I try to tackle topics with common sense and logical reasoning, without bad intentions or ulterior motives. If a take happens to align with any political, religious or other kind of ideology, that is purely coincidental. It will inevitably upset someone, but please hear me out and remain civil.

WHAT PRACTICE MAKES
The good thing about being in robot mode is you get to channel all that into things like old hobbies. Let’s be honest, I’m probably not gonna post in a long time, after this.
Tumblr media
So, everyone knows the saying: “practice makes perfect”, and if you hadn’t heard of it, there you go. When it comes to deduction and most things, practice is essential. What you practice is nearly irrelevant. When you practice, getting warmer— consistency is key. However, I wanna talk about how you practice.
Tumblr media
If you’ve circulated the deduction community, you’ll see all these pioneer deductionists who have years and years, maybe even decades of experience. Are all of them good? Not really. A person doing it for 6 months could get better results than them, but why? Why, after all these years are some deductionists still inadequate after so much experience?
The truth is, practice does not exactly make perfect, it makes normal.
These deductionists are practicing incorrectly. They go on reddit or facebook and deduce people, maybe go out in real life and get their material there and simply assume they’re right. They have no confirmation. Now, this may seem a little ironic, but I don’t believe in people getting involved in your process. You only need yourself, and whoever your deducing (or the extension of them, like their belongings). Unfortunately, this means you have to socialize and do research.
Don’t just assume you’re right.
Whenever you’re deducing someone, make sure you have them there, available to confirm and deny.
Don’t just ask what you got right and wrong. Try to explore why it is you were wrong, what set them apart from the baseline.
When you get a lucky, improbable deduction, still ask which factors contributed to this phenomenon. Ask, ask, ask.
How do you ask? Just be as mysterious and ominous, then direct as possible. That’s the 1-2-step. Be enticing and mysterious, then tell the truth. I go on whisper or reddit. I make a post that goes: “I bet you I could tell you who you are by seeing a picture of you or anything you own. NO NUDES OR FOOT PICS.”
Just being honest about that last part. People get confused.
So, what’s the moral of the story? Practice makes normal, perfect practice makes progress. I am coining that and you all have to monetarily compensate me whenever you use that, thanks. This is a pretty short post, but if you have any questions, feel free to ask them. I’ve got nothing going on in my life and I may just throw myself into deduction, who knows? This may be my renaissance, or something.

"How do you know?"
He wondered if he could get away with saying something like, I'm a wizard, we know these things, but decided against it. The last time he'd said that she'd threatened him with the axe.
"I asked one of the guards about that inn Mort talked about," he said. "Then I worked out the approximate distance it had to travel. Mort said it was moving at a slow walking pace, and I reckon his stride is about--"
"As simple as that? You didn't use magic?"
"Only common sense. It's a lot more reliable in the long run."
Terry Pratchett, Mort

Remember that we sometimes demand explanations for the sake not of their content, but of their form. Our requirement is an architectural one; the explanation a kind of sham corbel that supports nothing.

To be reasonable in one's decisions is a blessing not many enjoy. Somehow minds have been systematically deprived of thought & intellectual freedom. There's a clear logical process which a mind is capable of carrying out but that's something which people don't exercise enough. From simplest of matters like your social media scrolling to greatest of matters like your career paths, political or religious affiliations etc, unless and until you keep your reasoning capacity at the forefront, you are sure to get carried away and lost without any hope of being recovered. Start in the simplest of ways and begin reasoning out every single thing. Why you're doing what you're doing and why you're not doing what you're not doing. When your mind is allowed to participate consciously in each of your actions, you'll slowly get a hold of how your system works and once you get a firm grip over yourself, then the mind is like an accelerator - the speed with which it could carry you to places will be unfathomable. Take back the control of your mental sphere...
