The title card detailed below is a transcription of the one shown at the beginning of the video (complete with typos). Starting with this track and continuing through to What Went Wrong, SGaP began to work some philosophical themes into the context of the album

Once again, thank everypony for your comments, subscriptions, and PMs! This is meant to be a Rarity-centric song + PMV. She is… one of the best ponies ever. The opening title card is an isolated reference to virtue ethics, my most troubling preoccupation. I also drew a parallel with the “Flutterwonder” remix PMV.

Comments

Apparently I was destined to find this, and at this moment specifically. When I read in the description that the title card is a reference to virtue ethics, my jaw dropped. I’m doing philosophy homework right now, and guess what one of the mentioned analyses of medieval and Platonist philosophic worldviews is? Yep, virtue ethics! Therefore, this video has my undivided attention until I finish this homework. XD

On a more relevant note, I love this video and tune! You have attained epic win!

personally, I think MLP: FiM probably could’ve been a long lost Aristotelian dialogue. Especially in its privileging of friendship as the bringer of harmony to the other virtues. For Aristotle, the highest friendship is essentially synonymous with perfect eudaimonia.

Wow, this is some really good music here. I love how you chopped up the vocal samples, reminds me almost of Todd Edwards and Burial (vocal-wise that is).

most of the stuff from 1:43 onward was definitely inspired by dubstep; particularly Rustie’s new album

Would it be indignant of me to say that Princess Molestia brought me here…?
