The Anthropic Principle as explained by Itsuki Koizumi 

the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya: half comedy slice of life. Half existential crisis and philosophy.

The driver is like "Wtf is this guy saying?"

Kyon has a major effect on the narrative, from the novels to the manga and series, his words are vaguely him speaking, thinking or puzzling over something from the point of view of an outsider, either before or after the moment being discussed. He's the author of the story and his own life. The series merely pretends that Haruhi is the one causing everything, to make Kyon less capricious as well.

And they say TV doesn't teach you anything.

I think this particular scene explains the ideia behind the whole series It's funny how Haruhi , despite being the protagonist, is the one that contributes the least to this anime

Ergo, the fact that the universe is fine tuned to support us in an illusion: there are endless possible universes where there is no life, but since there is no-one in those to ask those, to living creatures it always looks like the universe is 'just right" to support them.(The same argument can be applied to a lot of things, eg. why do we exist, why do we look the way we are, why has civilization survived etc. Answer: the chance was not neccessarily high, but the question preassumes the answer.)

I need to rewatch this show, there’s so much in this conversation that I totally forgot about / went way over my head the first time I watched it in elem school 😅

When Jotaro starts explaining shit...

Koizumi is also voiced by the same actor who Jotaro Kujo and Sebastian Michaelis.

The music in this scene is amazing

the music makes this 10x scarier :S

This is the kind of thing I think about when I'm in Maths.....

I think, therefore I am. So is why we exist.

Parallel Haruhi Suzumiya & The Big Bang Theory: Itsuki Koizumi & Sheldon Cooper - the annoying person / boke / funny man Kyon & Leonard Hofstadter - the annoyed person / tsukkomi / the straight man

They really convoluted that explanation in the beginning

Mind = blowing explanations~

driver: screams internally

タクシー運転手「さっぱりわからん。」

The ominous soundtrack is too good

why is the universe explainable? why are there laws instead of chaos--ontological epistemological chaos? why is there order instead of a soup of randomness?

この世界は突然具現化された いままではシミュレーションしてたらしいどこかで

@BlankPicketSign I agree with your opinion, but I think you're confusing things because the Anthropic Principle is a different arguzment from the one you're criticizing. The core question of both is the "finely tuned universe" problem. The "dumb" assumption is that life and humans are "intended" by the universe. The Anthropic Principle is the ANSWER to that question. It states that the universe could have ended up in a million other ways, but only a few of those would support humans.

I can sum it up better. In the anthropic viewpoint, the reason we're here is because we're here, and, if it were impossible, then we wouldn't be. Still sounds like bulls**t but thats the gist of it anyway.

Haruhi rational Itsuki you must be kidding.

SFラブコメディ

Religion is the key

Ain't reading all at😂😂😂😂

Even though that the Anthropic Principle is complete crap ¬_¬ And It annoys me to no end when people take such an Unfounded, Unsupported idea seriously. Humans aren't that important on a cosmological scale, We not even Slightly important. The universe would exist without humans, it has to 4.5 Billion Years. The Universe is a old enough to go outside by it's self... You don't need to hold its hand =^_^=

glib argument for a convenient series.

He's right, you know.
