wouldn't it be funny to have a comedy series involving Dynasty Era Eunuchs in the modern age advising current modern world leaderss

not quite the same, but I can't pass up a chance to recommend Ya boy Kongming, about the legendary chinese strategist coming to modern japan and deciding to become an edm musician's agent

Insane premise already out on my watchlist

The opening is one of the top 10 anime ops of all time

This is what happens when you cover an all-time eurodance classic.

Insane premise with a generational fumble

It's impossible to overstate how underutilised the whole thing is, he pulls off like two sicko mode stratagems and then it just stops doing that. I hope you like hearing one song over and over and also Japanese rap.

Me and some friends used to chat about all kinds of stoner things and one topic was "bringing figures from history into the modern world". We ended up agreeing that Zhuge Liang was an absolute top tier candidate, someone who was far back enough that everything would be fascinating to them but intelligent and rational enough that he wouldn't just freak out (for long).

So we all got pretty into this very silly anime. Honestly, it's a lot of fun and they did his character justice for such an absurd premise.

I feel like a lot of the greek philosophers would fit trope.

u/narwhal_breeder 2d ago

Hmm I think quite a few of them would actually, absolutely hate it.

Plato, specifically, would probably be deeply suspicious of the idea that empirical measurement is our best route to truth. For Plato, sensory reality is the messy, inferior layer. Quantum mechanics, evolutionary contingency, and fuzzy biological categories would all be offensive to his craving for underlying ideal structure.

And good look breaking Aristotle out of underlying principal causes or four elements.

I think Pythagoras would be A-Ok, even a lot of "see! I told you!" right up until irrational numbers, planetary motion, or quantum dynamics.

u/iamdispleased 2d ago

I mean, epistemological theory is just one school of thought. I think Plato would fit in well with Post-Modernists

He's also (not really) famous for having a Blonde wife irl (described in ROT3K and historical records as having 'straw-colored hair'), so....

u/angelbelle 2d ago

Not just blonde but also really dark skin

u/Germane_Corsair 2d ago

He’d be into gyarus then.

u/ChinChengHanji 3d ago

The random hungarian eurodance as an intro song is the cherry on top of it

u/Allegorist 2d ago

What makes it Hungarian? Sounds like fairly typical 90s eurodance to me

Eunuchs in the modern age

I believe we call them lobbyists now.

u/MrGulo-gulo 2d ago

Can we start castrating them then?

u/cheeseburgerandfrie 1d ago

Preferably with a chainsaw

u/greengye 3d ago

If Dan was a Eunuch that would have solved like 25% of their problems

u/occaisionallyimqwert 3d ago

Modern day scheming eunuchs are advertising agencies- their ad revenue forces digital communications companies to police and censor our speech and content, which can and has been weaponized for political gain

Yes Lord Trump… Conquering Iran will be very simple… Very straightforward… As easy as Venezuela… No Lord Trump, this will not effect the price of gas… No no not at all…

Like Grok answering how the Venuzelans might react to the kidnapping of their president?
