    I personally had to take a philosophy back in high school, and I promise, that it never got easier to understand (even after college). I recently saw a Reddit post that directed me to a discussion on Land of the Lustrous and Plato's Allegory of the Cave, and I wanted to create a video that would not only discuss the allegory but also relate it to a medium that I enjoy reading and watching. Hope you all learn something from this. I personally think that Land of the Lustrous mirrors Plato's allegory of the cave with Phos learning about the world. Let me know what you all think in the comments 😄

    And then phos basically becomes a god in the end

      Exactly. And when they became a God, if it weren’t for the rocks, Phos would have endlessly wandered questioning life as well

    You did a beautiful job on describing the manga/anime

      Thank you so much! I really enjoyed watching/reading this manga. The analysis was a bit tricky since I am not a philosopher, but I feel that it's interesting either way

    More HNK content to enjoy, even cooler because it is related to philosophy, thanks for the video :)!

      It's an amazing anime and manga that is underrated I feel. Even though it has a high manga score on My Anime List, I feel that not enough people talk about it overall

    Love the analysis
    Love philosophy and the take on this
    But couldn’t help to be taken out when I’d hear you say ornaments
    Sounded like you were saying ordaments
    Like nails to a chalkboard
    But great video

      I’m glad you liked the analysis. I most likely did end up saying ordament due to I struggle to pronounce some words and sounds. It’s good to know though for future, thanks for letting me know
