Zugzwang, Dr. Hoffman, zuggy, herewegoagain, zug(?), and, now, guessWho.
New rule for ANF drinking game:
Every time Zugzwang violates the ban and creates a new identity, bind him and make him down 10 gallons of really rancid apple cider.
how does quantum theory tie in with the idea of consciousness and the soul?
Ask Anno if you must know.
Episode #20 [Platinum Subs]Misato (OFF):
A plan to salvage Shinji?
RITSUKO:
That's right.
That which can be called Shinji's life still exists.Misato:
Now you're respecting human life?
RITSUKO:
We can't afford to lose Shinji right now.
Misato:
Well, I wonder?
Isn't what Nerv wants not Shinji's life, but Unit 01 as its tool?
RITSUKO:
I won't deny it.
IBUKI:
We can surmise that Shinji's body lost its ego border,
and
he's floating in the entry plug in quantum form.
Misato:
In other words,
Shinji has shifted into a form we can't see?
IBUKI:
Yes, the composition of the LCL inside the plug has chemically altered
into something very similar to the sea water of primitive Earth.
Misato:
A soup of life, huh?
RITSUKO:
All of the substances which composed Shinji are still preserved in the plug,
and
what could be called his soul exists there as well.
In fact,
his self-image is pseudo-substantiating his plug suit.
IBUKI:
In other words, salvaging him means reconstructing his body and
anchoring his psyche within it.
Misato:
Is that possible?
RITSUKO:
With the Magi's support, yes.
Misato:
Theoretically, right?
You can't know what will happen until you try it.
