An Interesting Demonstration Of How The Human Brain Works.

An interesting demonstration of how the human brain works.

But also something of a lesson regarding perception, and the unreliability of subjective perspective versus objective reality.

You can be extremely certain about how you perceive the world, your "lived experience," that which you "feel it in my heart." But that doesn't mean it's actually true. And it doesn't mean we have to endorse it, or ignore or outright deny objective reality.

That's a "you" thing, not a "we" thing.

It’s all very well saying somethings a “timeless classic” when it’s less than five years old. Something that’s twenty years old and still holds up well is likely more deserving of the term.

Thank you kindly @gomez-alonzo-addams , I really couldn’t remember the stats for Victory.

I’m going to list the math for Mobile Fighter G Gundam Here, and I’ll briefly touch on how I defined the terms “Gundam” and “Gundam Pilot” above.

Gundam is: A pilotable, Mobile Suit bearing the name “Gundam” with additional bonuses for the following: twin-eye camera, V-fin (“horns”), face vents, tricolour colour scheme, one-off or limited-production unit.

Gundam Pilot is: An individual who can reasonably claim to have been the primary pilot for a Gundam. In the event of one Gundam being piloted by numerous people, pilots are either counted separately (so, multiple pilots for one Gundam) or assigned where most appropriate (IE Judau pilots both the Zeta and ZZ, but his “main” unit is the ZZ, so he counts as the ZZ’s pilot).

Neither of these are intended to hold up to much scrutiny, and I’m aware of several edge cases and mobile suits that don’t quite fit.

I truly do not understand where the idea that most Gundam protagonists die came from. I’ve even seen self-proclaimed fans warn newcomers that almost every Gundam protagonist dies, when that is patently not true!
