Trying to give the starving ningens some high tech, but will end up realizing that ningens are savages that destroy all of the God's beauty for their petty squabbles.

>>156316927
He can't serve as a common enemy. The gap between him and mankind is so large humans can't really fight him even if they wanted to.

>>156317549
he could theoretically impregnate every women on Earth by making his penis dematerialize and materialize in front of a vagina, do that 3.5 billion times and he has pretty much cucked mankind

>>156317746
Amazing idea, anon.

>>156317549
Science Lady will figure out how to tilt the balance in humanity's favor, either through some sort of magnetic harmonics voodoo or coughing on him to watch his new fleshbody wither under the onslaught of the common cold.

The design of Kado's insides is mind blowing, I love those weird shapes dancing and flowing, and those golden colors.

He'd need to sequence a whole new genome for himself first, since he most likely doesn't have any DNA as we know it, let alone compatible with homo sapiens.

They explained in the CG World interview that the Kado cube is a customized mandelbox - a multifractal system. It's basically a bunch of mathematical equations.

>>156318124
As I understand he came up with his body when he acquired information after Shindo touched Kado. I thought he should look like him but he was able to make his own.
So he should be able to take Shindo's and come up with his own.

>>156317940
The detachable limb demonstration showed that his human body is not made of meat and bones, so he's most likely not organic enough to get sick.

>>156318669
Which is why I think he wants to be a real boy. But real boys have to deal with messy meat problems like getting sick.

Seriously, is this a stealth Eva sequel?

>>156318798
He doesn't seem to be all that fond of human limitations and besides, he's a higher dimensional being. Him wanting to become human would be like us wishing to lose all our perception and become 1D lines. It's a huge downgrade in almost every possible way.

Since every episode is named after a concept introduced by zaShunina and the show often flashbacks to his early talks and explanations to Shindo, I think it's likely that zaShunina had told him in general terms what he expects would happen and now we're seeing this outline play out in reality. If so, then we're probably getting a very optimistic ending.

>>156323125
Context, anon.

>>156323474
The question is not how to start a fire, but whether you would accept the flamethrower or figure it out yourself.

>>156324052
If you knew that inventing the flamethrower would take 100,000 years, then wouldn't you want to get some pointers sooner? Better fire control -> more inventions and more comfortable life -> faster societal evolution.

>>156324199
Leaving all the political/moral conflicts that would arise from accepting alien tech aside, why would you want to have a technology that you don't even understand?

zaShunina is not explaining how we can achieve infinite energy. He's giving us a shortcut based on a higher dimension that we cannot even imagine or understand. Meaning, we have to completely trust him and his "novo" dimension. If anything goes wrong, or if zaShunina ever packed his cube and left, we'd be left with no power. It's extremely risky.

>>156320308
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyuNrm4VK2w

>>156324425
You're right that if zaShunina withdrew there would be trouble, but things like that are usually discussed once the other side expresses tentative interest. Their talks haven't gotten to that point yet.
>why would you want to have a technology that you don't even understand?
That's nothing new for humanity. We used fire even when we knew nothing about how it really worked; more recently, the atomic bomb designers had only a vague idea of the full extent of its effect. Animal domestication happened without any understanding of DNA and selection pressures. "It works" and "it's useful" have generally been the best arguments for using something.

>>156317746
Genius

>>156324782
That's true. But I think the difference here is that what zaShunina's offering is from a higher dimension/plane of existence. Things like fire and animals belong in our world and 3D experience, but drawing energy from another dimension is an entirely different thing. Basing our 3D world in 4D technology sounds unstable and unreliable.

>>156325784
Is it really such a big difference? If a caveman got dropped into today's Tokyo, he'd have a heart attack. Our world would be beyond his comprehension. We, on the other hand, have at least some idea how higher physics work and with direct access, our scientific understanding would probably evolve very quickly.

I agree that accepting Wams would be very risky, but the possibilities are just too incredible to pass up.

Do you think zaShunina sleeps? Probably not right?

>>156326272
Definitely not. Shindo had to remind him that humans needed to eat and rest. He knows about it, but it's clearly not very intuitive for him.

>>156313513
What the hell? When was more FGOshit released?

>>156313513
https://youtu.be/nxnt_79WQEM

Looking at the concept trailer, zaShunina's endgame really is advancement of humanity. The question is whether humans are willing to grow up enough to achieve that.

Hmm not even 2ch is discussing the code?

>>156329637
Too busy arguing about the implications of virtually infinite free energy and whether zaShunina can crash the economy by printing a shitload of money. Some also feel his pain over the "precision vs. comprehension" issues.
>Imagine if a modern day engineer had to explain how a smartphone works to a caveman. Yaha-san must be screaming internally.

>>156330578
It's not only the difference in tech knowledge. The limits of language is something that is often brought up in philosophy and astrophysics, so I think it'd be interesting if all those technical inaccuracies became relevant to the plot.

>>156330681
Yeah, and zaShunina said as much to Shindo in the cube (putting information into words, relaying it and receiving all damages its accuracy).

>Wait, when did Shindo switch from calling zaShunina "kimi" to "omae"?
Good catch, anonymous Nip.

What did she mean by this?

>>156331363
What is the implication?

>>156331736
Kimi is more formal, omae implies someone who is below you in age, social status, or experience. Sort of like a senior-to-junior kind of language.

I suppose it would imply that Shindo views space Jesus as a childlike being, since he is learning about humans

>>156331846
Not quite. Kimi is a way to address women or younger men, especially in a more formal setting. Omae is a super casual "you" used by men towards their friends, girlfriend etc.

That's a bit strange honestly. They couldn't have done that accidentally.

It'll get too crazy the moment the stocks would be exposed to the wam.

>>156318669
The cool thing about it is that if a 4-dimensional being bent his "arm" over a 3 dimensional hypeplane it would look pretty similar to that. In the same way that a 3-dimensional superbeing could keep their body in the same plane that a two-dimensional observer inhabits. The two dimensional being would only perceive the two dimensional "cut" of the three dimensional being. And if such a being chose to bend his arm three dimensionally, it would look like that to the two dimensional being, an arm disappearing and reappearing randomly in another place.

Which is pretty goddamn cool, they're taking their math and physics seriously.

TL;DR: Autism.

Looking at the 'know' reviews, it seems Nozaki is a sci-fi optimist and believer in human ascension despite all the trouble it would involve. He's also apparently fond of the technological singularity hypothesis.

zaShunina confirmed for good.

>>156354153

>>156324425
In theory, if he gives it to us, on a long enough timeline we'll have reverse-engineered our way into being able to produce it ourselves. It may take several leaps of technological evolution to get to that point, working backwards and forwards simultaneously.

>>156354213
Technically speaking, if harmony and altruism were the factors that led zaShunina to Japan, he ought to have ended up in Iceland.

>>156357156
Too small to have any influence. Iceland doesn't have any leverage on the global scene.

It might even not take us all that long. With virtually unlimited energy, lots of experiments and research that was previously off-limits would be possible. Hell, even space travel would be in reach.

>>156355282
I was implying that he's going to unintentionally create a dramatic power shift that, if one was to study human history, would result in conflict and violence.

I don't know if the serious change we need is a drastic upheaval in geopolitics that results in vast numbers of causalities.

>>156356867
What happened if kado absorbed info from tumblr? Would zaShunina even be able to negotiate with the new set of social rules?

>>156357729
He might consider tumblr's refusal to accept biology as being a sign of readiness to transcend the bounds of three dimensionality.

>>156354213
He probably didn't consider countries (remember, borders are arbitrary) but individual landmasses. So the question is more: why not Scandinavia, Western Europe (France/Spain/Portugal), the UK or Australia.

The Doctor usually visits the UK since his show is made there. Makes sense that a nip alien would go to Japan.

>>156357411
The manga calls his actions "accelerating" the course of the world; the concept trailer also hints that he's changed things that were once considered obvious or inevitable. zaShunina knows the changes won't please everybody ("Am I your ally, or your foe?"), but he clearly thinks it'd be worth it in the end.

>>156357805
Good point. He keeps saying "region" instead of "country".
>why not Scandinavia, Western Europe
He doesn't want to deal with the Allahu Snackbar minority drama?

>>156357857
Let's be serious: would YOU want to deal with that shit? Islamics are the worst people to deal with if you make them doubt the existence of Allah or that the Koran is a lie. Drama like that nobody needs.

An infinite energy source without a corresponding infinite heat sink could lead to some unpleasant scenarios in experiments gone horribly wrong.

>>156358441
Which makes me think the infinite heat sink is whatever dimension the energy's being drawn from.

>>156358488
Yeah, but if you hook up a Wam to a lightbulb like they did at the conference, you're pulling energy from higher dimensions but dumping it into ours (as light and heat). If some idiot hooked up enough light bulbs, you could do a real number on the local temperature simply by the accumulating waste heat. If its truly limitless, there's nothing stopping some idiot from boiling the oceans for shits and giggles.

>>156358526
Strictly speaking, the wam energy isn't infinite. zaShunina even emphasized that he was only calling it that because Shindo insisted on prioritizing speed over precision. It's only "infinite" because it's more than humanity can possibly need.

>>156357857
The latin countries (the true "western Europe" geographically) have more volatile personalities, that would disqualify them regardless of muslims.

>>156358619
True. A quick calculation yields the energy required to vaporize the ocean is sadly five million times higher than the yearly (current) energy usage of human civilization.

Looks likes my dream of mass destruction thanks to alien fuccboi marbles will have to wait.

>>156358526
That's why I'm thinking it's a perfect enclosed system. It draws infinite energy from a dimension and returns the waste heat back to source as heat, or alternatively the waste heat is shunted to a different dimension altogether. It never spills out of the system into our dimension except as energy. It's a level of efficiency beyond our capacity to produce even in microscale.

It wouldn't make much sense for it to be set in Russia/US/China as a Japanese show broadcasted in Japan. It's not like every Hollywood movie isn't about murica stronk.
Also it was hendeled very nicely (with that one guy, saying every human would do it and Alyyien calling it an "area" and not Japan).
They would have had to explain why he ended up there anyway.

>Nobody was arguing for Russia, the US or China.
Literally the entire thread yesterday and the day before.

>>156361481
Not butthurt about it, really, just confused why he picked there after giving his reasons why, when those reasons don't make sense when held up to the rest of the world that has better candidates that fulfill his reasons better than Japan ever could. Ultimately, it's a Japanese show so it's going to happen in Japan, but it's funny to think of anyone looking at Japan as being some sort of standard for egalitarian thinking.

JP is a good choice. Not as good as Norway/Sweden but good enough. Australia would aldo have been great to eliminate the language barrier with most of the world.

Japan is actually doing pretty well when it comes to income equality. Aside from the mini countries, Germany would be the only other wealthy candidate.

>>156362057
Germany would be a lot wealthier if the rest of the EU wasn't dickriding their economy.

Germany is also benefiting a lot from the EU free trade and the euro, so it's not that simple.

It's only located in Kazakhstan. You know who use it, I know who use it. I for once wouldn't want that country to get infinite energy source, alright.

>>156362469
>You know who use it, I know who use it.
But the alien doesn't.

>>156362371
Kado doesn't need a spaceport, so he's free to land wherever he wants. Besides, Kazakhstan is both fairly poor and unstable (courtesy to Islam and Russian influence).

>>156362009
>Australia would aldo have been great to eliminate the language barrier with most of the world.
Considering how he biggest concern is to not cause any misunderstanding this is probably the main issue with choosing Japan. Not that he could know, of course.

Is it Friday yet?

>>156357271
They have Bjork and Sigur Ros. And Emiliana Torrini. And Gus Gus. And...

>>156362995

President Nazarbayev has been in power since independence. Kazakhstan has a higher GDP per capita than Russia.

>>156363053
To be fair, English would still have to be translated into dozens of languages at the minimum. And both Mandarin and Spanish have more native speakers than English.

>>156363348
Russia is a shithole, so that's not saying much. As for Nazarbayev, he's 76 years old. In a few years, there could be serious trouble.

>>156362009
Didn't he say he wanted to reach out to as many people as possible too? Scandinavia is very scarcely populated in comparison to Japan. Australia probably has a big enough population so I could understand that.

>>156363361
Although I do think English is the best option, all I meant in my post is that japanese is definitely not one of the best.

>And both Mandarin and Spanish have more native speakers than English.
But English is still considered the "global language". Sometimes spreadness is more relevant than numbers. I mean, most spanish native speakers are in South and Central America and who cares about the countries in there?
