Needy Streamer Overlord: the cult of ego death
the Ego in a Freudian sense is a mediator from the instinctual ID and the super ego. Due to the process of how it mediates it establishes a sense of self. also mediating both what is a byproduct of internal you and what is externally the world, the process in neurology is the DMN or the default mode network. basically you can talk to yourself in your head and imagine unicorns but their is always a sense that isnt reality and you just making things up, the DMN is why
When the DMN's connectivity is decreased often to drug use, you lose both your sense of self and there is no longer a barrier keeping what you perceive as reality and your imagination from melding. this is known as ego death
big stoners, consider the experience of ego death to be transcendental because instead of seeing themselves as individuals they are seeing themselves as a collective.
What I mean is Kangel talking about wanting no one to be alone and to give love to everyone even if she herself must remain solitary is a byproduct of her own day trips
this is why the anime series was very like the last episodes of evangelian, because both probably took from the same source. Which is not unique as similar concepts were explored in Dante's Paradiso
and I think in the wider narrative the internet was suppose to seem like thematically ego death, it is this mass hysteria people latch to, giving up their individuality for a faux transcendents
