Eventually after many years of smelling the bacteria, we would become physically sick. Then, we would be transported to a hospital, and cared for. If you did not have insurance, you would be asked to pay an unfair amount of money for services rendered.
Not over here you wouldn't as we have a National health Service paid out of general taxation.
Such a scene would belong in any cartoon.
Alternatively, the clothes could be hand-washed. The scene would perhaps appear briefly in a more serious movie. Which has more worth, the cartoon or the serious movie?
Depends what the point is?
Because they do not know they are in a cartoon, they believe they are not, and believe they have freedom of will. ...
Not sure who 'they' are but I think there only freedom of choice.
Like a cartoon or movie, the experience seems new and entertaining as you watch it go by. Perhaps one can gain the power of prophecy if one examines the structure of the tropes. Though I assume such power is already embedded in our DNA. Once you are done with the cartoon, you watch a new episode. Or a serious movie, when you get tired of that.
What experience are you referring to?
As for your science studies, scans reveal red causes the most brain excitation of any color. The chances of anyone in this world not having such associations are slim to none, since most of the things I mentioned are on an instinctive DNA level.
They were your science studies? But I thank you for that as I did a goggle and red does seem to focus attention, unfortunately it also appears to impair some cognitive functions so maybe not best for a philosophy forum? Blue appears to be best for creativity. Which type of colour-blindness do you have and aren't you excluding the colour-blind with your avatar colour scheme?
No no no, because not seeing my avatar in technicolor doesn't deny them access to forum features.
Freedom of will, freedom of choice, both are nonsense, they don't exist.
What experience am I referring to? Life.
I am partially colour blind, I fail color optometry test and this forum color choice test. But I can still see art in their colorful glory.
What is the point of a movie you say? Get the blood flowing, and in rare cases, introduce new ideas.
Usually following this formula
intro (mystery or action) part 1 (tragedy) part 2 (quest) part 3 (climax) end (peace)
or just following the predictable formulae on tvtropes
most movies utilize the flow of samsara
by that i dont mean physical death, but perhaps physical death or something like death to drive and birth the plot along, creating the illusion of meaning and purpose, when it is really just nature taking its course, the peace will turn to suffering, the cycle anew, pointless really
what is "bizarre - FTFY"?
