#foolism

hear me out

in one piece, the wano samurai's battle cry is "Sunacchi | 捨名スナッ知", short for "Namae o sutero, chiie o sutero | 名前〟を捨てろ 〝知恵〟を捨てろ" which translates to "Throw away your wits and your name" to reinforce their courage before heading into a battle that not a single logical person would ever do

you're going up against a guy who is literally world's strongest creature - you are basically asking to end your life

and your wits knows that

"throw away your name and your wits" is equivalent to relieving the samurais of their moral restraints along with the life that they had lived through

another translation of the phrase is "surrender your name and be a child" (VIZ) affirms the notion above behind it. a child has yet anything to his name, nor has his life even begun. by adopting the mindset of a child, you are literally an idiot who knows nothing, including the capabilities of making logical decisions cuz they haven't learned yet (duh)

(quick reminder that's why we shouldn't hold children accountable when they become adults guys, not when humans are so capable of learning and changing)

anyway back to foolism

the fool in the tarot card is someone who just

turn off their brain sometimes

and you adapt / figure it out as we go

and you learn from that adaptation

and boom tool kit expanded

there is literally no downside to any scenario if you learn from it and get cool skill from it

children literally are having their brain GROWING so it's INCOMPLETE, which then make them made non logical decision. as they grow into adult, more logic and more knowledge and more experience are collected along the way

so foolism is essentially saying sometime you just go fuck it we ball and just make it up as you go

and honestly i think adopting that mindset and applying it to my approaches will give me such a unique and expansive life
