If you stop to think about it, you have no real knowledge of the meaning of about 80% of the words you use daily in your vocabulary. You only know a brief outline, a vague explanation that doesn’t really serve to define them properly.
For example, I believe that most of you don’t actually know the meaning of the word “essence.” You know a rough idea of it, but nothing meaningful enough to allow you to define it precisely.

Contemplate our own stupidity as we listen to this song.
You’ll be frightened by the extent of it.

Maybe I should actually do something deliberate towards finding a girlfriend cause I feel like I am somehow running out of time
I hope you stay alone for life, bro. You deserve it. All that gooning and the refusal to admit the damage it does to you… for your sins, you must pay, and the just price is lifelong loneliness. Every time you gooned and wore it as a quirky part of your wholesome persona, I hope it became a deep, unending solitude, leaving you incapable of ever hugging someone in real life.

I read that analogies are essentially fallacies… so are analogies always fallacies? That sounds weird. People use analogies all the time!

why?
If you look it up, you’ll find that only “false analogies” are considered fallacies. But the point here is stricter and more philosophical: strictly speaking, analogies are fallacious by nature. Philosophically speaking, the issue with analogies is pretty simple: they rely on partial similarities, while strong conclusions require necessity.
An analogy basically says, “A is like B in some ways, so A must also be like B in this other way.”
The problem is that this leap is never logically guaranteed. Just because two things share some traits doesn’t mean they share the one that actually matters.
From a strict logical point of view, that alone is enough to say it’s not a valid deduction. This goes against holism, which needs to be taken into account for a deduction to be valid.

A valid deduction is simple.
Premise 1: S is better than K.
Premise 2: K is slightly worse than S.
Conclusion: Therefore, S is better than K.
There is no possible scenario in which the premises are true and the conclusion is false, because the conclusion is already contained in the premises. The relation is explicit and necessary. With analogies, however, this necessity is missing. An analogical argument usually looks like this:
S is better than K in some respect, so K must also be better than S in other respects.
The problem is that those “other respects” were never stated as premises, they are merely assumed. And just because something “must” be true does not make it a valid conclusion.
Since these additional similarities are not established, the conclusion lacks a necessary foundation, and the inference becomes logically invalid.

Have we ever been products rather than byproducts? We watch things that were never originally meant for us; we are mere byproducts of them.
The love portrayed in those anime clearly isn’t meant for us. Their modes of affection and their nostalgic focus on school life don’t really speak to us. So my question is: have we ever consumed something that was actually made for us? We seem like bored souls, lurking around other people’s products, trying to fill our senseless lives.
Maybe this telegram, and all these circles, are spaces meant for us — places where we actually belong, where we can relate instead of existing as byproducts. So you're not wasted here, you can stay around us.

I encourage you all to create. If you believe in truth and beauty, then make some! Don’t just curse the darkness. Light a candle. Paint something true. Write a story where love means sacrifice, not just feeling. Compose a melody that hints at a world without tears. Your intent is what matters the most, technical skill will come with practice.
I believe you all are capable of creating beautiful things full of meaning. If beauty and meaning matter, then abandoning the field to those who dismiss both seems like a strange choice. The world could use more thoughtful creators, not just more critics.

The only thing you really need is me.
My love is more addictive than caffeine.
My warmth is more comforting than coffee.
And all you really need is to be held warmly after a long day at work.
