After 5 different re-edits, I managed to get a version of Lady Eboshi is Wrong that didn't get flagged for copyright infringement. This version you can share far and wide!

What a hassle this has been. Thank you all for your patience!

THIS IS AMAZING! I love that you do this work in the world. You articulate all the things I have thought of at great length about this movie. Thank you!!!!

Amee

this is a really great articulation of how complex and difficult things can be, great work!

Good and important, and correct, point I have been making myself for a while now. Everyone stops asking questions at some point; you can't break things down infinitely, eventually you reach a point you can't question anymore for any reason. That can be because you can't prove that the signals your senses put into your brain reflect any actual reality, and it can be because you'd be rendered immobile if you question wether a black hole is spontaneously gonna pop up under your feet. It can also be because you are forced to make decisions at some point, often quickly, and if you question everything to its roots all the time, often you'll miss the decision's timeframe and something even less desired than an imperfect, but probably desirable outcome will happen. If time didn't exist and we could know wether our senses actually reflect reality, this wouldn't be a problem - but both do, and will for every human, and the concept of morals emerges from that. Morals are the basis on whose ground we base decisions we don't question, at whichever point that is - which, bizarrely, makes morals the negative space of fact-checking. Good video. Thank you, Ian!

Ian, which would be the preferred version of this video to watch, this one now up on YouTube or the version you uploaded to Dropbox?

Thank you for stating that empathy doesn't equal no judgement. I'm tired of the idea that I'm giving people a free pass because I empathize with them or the reverse that empathy should be reserved for "good" people. I empathize with them; that doesn't mean they get no consequences.

This is a very strong video, although I don't agree with your ultimate conclusion there; there's two things you're talking about in the video, and two things I think we can both agree on. 1, there is Objective Truth, and 2, there is Subjective Opinion. While both of the warring parties in Mononoke have based their ideology for war on their Subjective Opinion, the Objective Truth is that Lady Eboshi IS wrong, and her Subjective Opinion disregards and ignores the Objective Truth of the matter.

Is this video still available on Dropbox? It seems to have been taken down again from YouTube.
