Hugo’s philosophy is circular, it should be used to explain how to REACH your goals, not how to SET your goals

My first point that Hugo philosophy is circular is pretty simple, it can’t be proven wrong directly, essentially the goal post can keep shifting, I’ll give an example

“This person can’t do X because they don’t have the aptitude/talent

Person proceeds to accomplish X

“My philosophy isn’t wrong, I just misread their aptitude!”

See how that can be easily circular? The goal post can keep shifting as there’s no objective way to determine a person’s aptitude

It’s kinda in a way of form of Alder’s Razor(not exactly but loosely similar) which is a philosophical statement basically saying that if something cannot be settled by observation or experiment, then we shouldn’t debate it, Hugo philosophy can’t be proven or disproven really so we shouldn’t debate about it

With that being said, that leads me to my part 2, Hugo philosophy should be a way to reach your goals, not a way to set your goals

Let’s say isagi wanted to be the worlds best striker, but let’s say he decided he wanted to play like Chigiri with a speed based play style, this would never work for Isagi as he doesn’t have that specific aptitude

Isagi instead has to focus on his own aptitude to reach his goal of being the worlds best striker, he doesn’t abandon his goal, he abandon’s the road he was trying to use to get to his goal

A good irl example is let’s say your goal is to be a pro soccer player, you can use Hugo theory to determine what position you should be playing in to reach that goal,

I pray this makes sense
