hi, i happen to be curious of perspectives and opinions and wanna challenge my own ways of thinking, also i also think its possible to travel through a journey of one's opinions

hence the title- and so feel free to contradict me :woo:

seems to me the MADAO cant be applied to Hasegawa since he was working at different junctures of time span? albeit yes for a while there was the jobless situation, it doesnt look like it was a lifestyle?
also im not much aware of the context as i havent watched :/

MADAO is portrayed undesirable toward the end but also i wonder if they get much ousted out because they cant afford to be way too immersed in consumerism chain?

i see so his usual lifestyle is MADAO and changes from that mode selectively based on people he wanna help.
imo i wouldnt classify that as MADAO though, cause if he were to meet people in need of help at higher frequency, things would be different.
