Thunderbolt Fantasy and Requiem for the Phantom are the best TV series in history. Thunderbolt Fantasy and Song of Saya are the best fantasy stories in the history of art. Very few works of art can compete with these genius masterpieces by Gen Urobuchi. Examples include some of Adam Darski’s later songs (“Sowing Salt,” “The Shit Ov God,” “The Deathless Sun,” “Rom 5:8,” and “Messe Noire”), Philip Glass’s 1989 album Solo Piano, Hermann Hesse’s The Glass Bead Game, the first two parts of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s film autobiography (The Dance of Reality and Endless Poetry), and some of Vladimir Sorokin’s later books (Day of the Oprichnik, The Sugar Kremlin, Telluria, Manaraga, and Fairy Tale).

FANTASTIC TALES AND RISK

There are three kinds of fantastic tales: fairy tales, fantasy, and science fiction.

How does each of these three kinds of fantastic tales deal with the phenomenon of risk?

There is no true risk in fairy tales: characters may be unaware of their fate, but their lives are already destined for either happy or tragic endings.

Unlike fairy tales, fantasy takes the phenomenon of risk more seriously: there is no predetermined fate, but all risks can be measured.

Unlike science fiction, fantasy does not tolerate chaos: due to their psychological or spiritual flaws, characters may misjudge the risks they face, but the author always gives them enough data to make the correct evaluation.

The Champions of Philosophy

Most legendary philosophers—even Plato and Marcus Aurelius—were noticeably inferior to Gautama Buddha. Even the magnificent works of Plotinus, Pascal, and Kierkegaard cannot rival the Buddhist philosophy of enlightenment. It took two thousand years after the Buddha's death before anyone produced a philosophy of equal stature: Hegel. After him, only Schopenhauer, Heidegger, Bataille, Sartre, and Foucault managed to match that achievement—not surpass it, but merely equal it.
Among the famous philosophers, only Nietzsche, Cioran, and Wilber succeeded in creating philosophies that, in my view, surpassed the Buddha's. And perhaps I will as well—if I succeed in popularizing my own philosophy.

The main feature of the superego (the Inner Parent in Berne's theory, the Inner Critic) is the violation of agreements. The Freudian concepts of the superego and Thanatos essentially refer to the same phenomenon.

Дітлахи галасливо
грають у футбол
собачою головою.
— Гол! Гол! —
кричить рудий
бешкетник,
а йому до рота
залітають малесенькі
бджоли.
Кривава люстра летить над містом!
У підвалах воєнкоми
весело катують
нейромережу.
Яка ж ти дивовижна,
рідна моя плането!
Як же яскраво блищить
відполірований наждачним папером
анус!
Щастя! Щастя для всіх!
Безкоштовно! І нехай
ніхто
не піде
ображеним!
Мирно гуде кривава люстра.
Вечоріє.
Пес шукає свою голову.
Рудий хлопчик плаче.
Місто гріха сумує
за втраченою
веселкою.

Examples of ideologies: Buddha (teal/turquoise), Blaise Pascal (teal/turquoise), Schopenhauer (teal/turquoise), Friedrich Nietzsche (turquoise), Michel Foucault (teal/turquoise), Emil Cioran (turquoise).

Panpsychist religions — teal (yellow) or green ethics in the conception of Integral (Spiral) Dynamics. They can be atheistic, monotheistic, or polytheistic. Examples of panpsychist religions: Hinduism (green), Taoism (green), ancient Greek mythology (green), Shinto (green), ancient Scandinavian mythology (green), Socrates (teal), Diogenes (teal), Aristotle (green), Epicurus (green), Marcus Aurelius (teal), Plotinus (teal), Descartes (green), anarchism (green), Kant (green), Hegel (teal), Kierkegaard (green), pacifism (green), Heidegger (teal), Bataille (teal), Wittgenstein (teal), transhumanism (green), the New Age movement (green), Ken Wilber (teal).

Religions of dead atoms — orange, amber (blue), or red (and below) ethics in the conception of Integral (Spiral) Dynamics. They can be atheistic, monotheistic, or polytheistic. They may also be traditionalist, dogmatic, or political. Examples: Neanderthal cults (red or below), ancient Egyptian mythology (amber), ancient Babylonian mythology (amber), ancient Chinese mythology (amber), ancient Roman mythology (orange), Zoroastrianism (orange), Judaism (amber), Confucianism (orange), the hedonism of Aristippus (orange), Christianity (amber), Sunni Islam (red), Shia Islam (amber), humanism (orange), nationalism (orange), socialism (orange), liberalism (orange), Newton (orange), Darwin (orange), Adam Smith (orange), Karl Marx (amber), Nazism (amber), Stalinism (red), Ayn Rand (amber), feminism (orange), Juche (red), environmentalism (orange), Dawkins (orange), Harari (orange), Jordan Peterson (amber), Andrew Tate (red), Trumpism (red), Putinism (red).

Friedrich Nietzsche and Martin Heidegger are not the same: they were both very smart geniuses, but Nietzsche was not a hypocrite. He was deeper (more ethical) than Heidegger. He was as “turquoise” as Ludwig van Beethoven, Hermann Hesse, or Emil Cioran.

Unlike the Great Chain of Being and Spiral (Ethical) Dynamics, AQAL is not a philosophical concept; it’s a practical psychological framework, like the four quadrants of René Descartes or Stephen Covey. It is also a symbol of the Integral movement—the best academic movement on our planet.
