It's GiTS as GiTS usually is. Confusing.
Am I missing out on something good here?

If you've never seen Ghost in the Shell (the many GiTS, there are a few movies and shows) and you're okay with anime, then you're missing out on all things philosophical and metaphysical. The same is true of Neon Genesis Evangelion, although it gets very heavy to the point of being possibly disturbing for some. Both are worth watching.

GiTS SAC_2045 is on Netflix and is a sequel to the GiTS stuff that came before. If you were going to be interested and haven't seen anything, starting with the GiTS '95 movie, or the 2.0 remake of the '95 movie (2008?) would be ideal, followed by GiTS Innocence, Stand Alone Complex, Arise, and so on. The main difference between SAC_2045 and everything else is that SAC_2045 is more conspiracy/crime/investigation where the other material is philosophical.

In short:

- GiTS '95 / 2.0 remake
- GiTS Innonence

Then whatever else you want after that.
Life is not a problem to be solved, but a reality to be experienced.

This sounds like something I could be interested in. Thanks for the recommendation.

Must be just you.

Haven’t heard anyone have a serious conversation about MLK or his complicated life in years



honestly me either that is a part of my unease. I feel selected ideas from I have a dream is the extent of MLK's legacy to some , many maybe idk.

The post-King black politicians and civil rights advocates wouldn’t know MLK is he walked up and kissed them.  Civil rights in the US has been reduced to pandering, race baiting, race pumping, and using race for political fundraising

That's a pretty broad brush, not a single black politician or civil rights advocate has a deep and nuanced familiarity with MLK?  Are non-black politicians and civil rights advocates doing a better job of understanding MLK? So, what was MLK about and how are all black people that are active in politics or civil rights advocacy getting it wrong?

There have been historically a few conservatives that have done a fair interpretation of both the good and the bad if MLK and his extended record on civil rights, not just the “I have a dream” speech.

MLK was more nuanced than many of his followers and had he lived either race relations in the US would be different of his followers would have continued toward the left as they have done since his death.

There have been a number of folks — the late Walter Williams, Justice Thomas , condaleeza Rice, current Rep Ben Owens, Armstrong Williams, etc etc who have addressed the issues in the black US population from a historical/cultural/economic perspective while rejecting the socio-political narrative that has controlled the race narrative as promulgated by MLKs successors most of whole are race pumps.

hm, not interested in clarifying your post?
