Shinza banshou discussion thread~Revival~

Also since monads are 0, let Naraka wanks begin
monads are 1 actually in philosophy
Greek metaphysics believed that 1 is the supreme number because it is singular and simple, and all numbers that come after it is subordinate to it and dependent on it as their foundation including infinity itself. Basically divine simplicity as it confirms god is just one part.
Even in neoplatonism they call god as "The One" because it is a solution to the problem of one over many

I mean tier 0 not 0 as a number
 
Nvm I read the revision thread. Yes, it can be said that Gods are qualitatively beyond concepts and dualities. Taiji is kinda the undifferentiated source of everything that is qualitatively different from everything it creates, and they are fiction compared to Taiji
I just remembered that Yuri downgraded transduality for Gods saying all the Twilight Beach statements were "flowery text" (which I don't really see), so that's something we should anticipate needing to counter (or we could use other justifications like Mitra's statements).
 
Funny but shinza uses neoplatonic ideas a lot, albit not effectively.
Eg Emanation, which is a neoplatonic term where creation flows out of the one aka a more refined idea of the pythageorean monad. Shinza gods emanate and flow taikyoku from themselves . And neoplatonism is one of the most well known ideas of divine simplicity. Sounds similar?
