Point the 1st- Ok, Ohkubo`s "all knowledge having is eeeeevil" things makes less sense the more you think about it. I mean the whole point is that if you know everything you'll stop thinking and therefore stagnate which is bad, buuuuut:
a-If you live in a dynamic universe like our own then you should know that you can't know everything since things are in constant flow, so even if you know everything of everything RIGHT NOW you'll still need to keep collecting data, so knowing everything wouldn't make you stop thinking just use that knowledge to get more knowledge; so either Sid is lying or Index doesn't really know much
or
b-You know why stagnation is bad? Because your surroundings might change (emphasis on might) so much that you'll be at an disadvantage, not changing isn't bad in and out of itself, if you think otherwise coelacanth left this link for you http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pc0mxOXbWIU. ANYWAY thats only true in a universe in which things are constantly changing, but as previously established you can actually know EVERYTHING is such a universe. The only way you can do that is in a universe where things don't actually change, in which case Shini is the one that's wrong, so what if your curiosity dies when you know everything? THE UNIVERSE DOESN'T CHANGE acquiring ultimate knowledge is a good thing since you no longer make any mistakes of any kind with it, you won; and yes you can actually win at life in an unchanging universe if there are actual forms which are absolutely and perfectly adapted to it (like ultimate knowledge); what's the point of wanting to know more if you know everything? And here I make an aside to clear a common misconception: discovering/growing/curiosity/change ISN'T INHERENTLY A GOOD THING, sure it is if your environment is in constant flux, but if things don't change is literally a waste of resources, and once you get an ideal state in such a universe any change is actually bad; I've seen people think change is good just because is change even in stories in which is stated that THERE ACTUALLY IS AND ULTIMATE FORM WHICH WILL ALWAYS BE ULTIMATE NO MATTER WHAT and somehow that's bad even tough by that the story's own rules it isn't; stop doing that people, is maddening but most importantly I've seen authors do so, in blatant violation of their own rules Ok ramblings aside what this means is that in case b is true Index is right and if that's the case Ohkubo don't change the rules just because, I will hunt you down and give the wedgiest wedgie to ever be wedgied
Point the 2nd- Personally if find your point about how higher beings shouldn't just give knowledge to humanity just as invalid as ohkubo's but I wont get much into it unless you ask me too
Point the 3 (the three)- Umm, yeah I know isn't as bad as Enrique south-american monkey (of action) but yeah, a russian guy that attacks by way of cossack dance? Yeah that's racist.
Point the 4theth- Thank you for your awesome recaps, they give a whole new perspective to SE and I always look forward to them every month more that the actual manga :)
Point the shut up already- SOUL EATER NOT RECAAAAAAAP! yay 0w0
