I have two questions about EoE.

First, if Shinji only caused the third impact after the scene with Asuka, where that scene happened? Just in the mind of Shinji?
Second, why Shinji was the only one able to trigger the third impact?

>>153464143
>where that scene happened? Just in the mind of Shinji?
yes
>why Shinji was the only one able to trigger the third impact?
because rei liked him and thought he was a virtuous person who deserved to have the choice

>>153462953
He prefers Asuka

>>153464143
>Second, why Shinji was the only one able to trigger the third impact?
It was already happening, Shinji was the only one left, protected in the Eva's womb. So he had a choice to meld in or ruin everything.
He chose to ruin everything forever.

>>153464162
>yes
That seems pretty weird. Was Shinji on drugs? Why he was having so many hallucinations and why they were so real?

Wow, Enjoy being a tool. Doesn't matter if we we're at a dead end. We would just be beginning if we actually decided to fuck off into space and find wherever those shitty angels came from. Doesn't matter if the only thing left is to explode into orange juice. We made shit on Earth that people died for, Works of art. Gigantic cities that spanned entire regions. Physically existing is a fucking miracle, So don't tell me that you'd throw every single accomplishment on Earth and that 7 billion people made so you can fuck off into your own little paradise.

I didn't realize that people could be so stupid. Individuality is the reason you even have thoughts of your own you faggots. Man up and start enjoying freedom. Being able to do exactly what the fuck you want. So fuck everyone else who wants to jump into their little paradise and avoid reality. Suffering is infinitely better than singularity.

>>153463426

You've literally known nothing else faggot, there's nothing about instrumentality that implies you would lose this. You're just assuming and implying based on your own personal creed that's probably grown out of you being a social reject that would be kicked out of the LCL before he left willingly.

He clung to his humanity rather than take a risk and allow mankind to evolve past its own endless cycle of violence and misery. He didn't reject Instrumentality because he wanted to be a stronger person. He did it because he was used to being miserable and was terrified of actually being happy.

It was unearned, meaningless happiness, like being on a heroin drip for your entire life.

And that's exactly what he realized. For all the flaws of humanity, the suffering is essential to a full life.

Why did Seele send Kaworu to make contact with Adam (who was actually Lillith)

As he is an Angel wouldn't that(as stated) destroy humanity?

>>153467413
>Gran nuevo sabor

>>153467482

And while I acknowledge that this was the main point of the series, I genuinely don't see this as an inherently bad thing. The perception that happiness should be earned is just the self projecting its own unhappiness onto others.

Wouldn't an angel-triggered third impact just destroy humanity?

Why send Kaworu (an angel) to trigger an event, when the whole point of the series has been NERV stopping the Angels making contact.

>>153465718
There is no real telling of what lies in instrumentality. The bliss is the bait, not the reward.

>>153467400
Bear with me because I'm going to get metaphysical here. Instrumentality involves the destruction of the ego and gradual dissolution of the Self. There would be no one to feel or experience happiness, because there would be no Self to go through that experience.
>the real you will cease to exist
Also the ability to feel pain is important here. Both on a physical level (reacting to danger and the environment) and on an emotional one (by making one empathise with others and aware of one's own vulnerability and locality. You can't get closer to others without hurting them and yourself. Skin is the boundary of reality, if you pardon my French.

On a semi-related note, in the Culture series the character Ziller (a preachy, conservative intellectual, kind of like Anno) was convinced Culture citizens weren't really sapient. Reason why? They never felt suffering. For Ziller, suffering was such an integral part of existence that someone who couldn't experience it wasn't really someone, but more like an animal reduced to its basic needs.

>>153468195
Oh so kaworu's just a special snowflake?
Is this mentioned at some point in the TV series? I can't seem to recall it.

>>153468195

>>153468195
