Glad you liked it too, it's a mainstay in my video play lists

DJ Shadow is an all-time great but more people should listen to RTJ (RTJ4 is a phenomenal album, and I think their latest?) in general imo

I only recently found out I have ASD, but this little comic perfectly sums up the words I've been struggling to conceptualize my entire life.

Thanks for this.

Just because they're cowards who disavow responsibility doesn't make them intelligent.

EVERYONE knows to not do inhumane shit out in the open, it doesn't tale intelligence to understand that. Even children know to hide bad behavior.

I think you're right that they aren't below average intelligence, but you're giving them too much credit.

Precisely. Our education system is deeply mired in the muck of privatized funding of public education. Hopefully we can root this shit out and enforce some regulations soon.

Honestly just restricting private donations and forcing them to fucking pay taxes like the rest of us would fix a large part of this.

The rich not only control the media, but vast swaths of our academics as well. Especially so-called economists and "business experts", like the bootlicker quoted here.

These people know nothing about neurology or psychology. They're being paid to repeat bullshit so people get complacent (and worse, use their 'expertise' to influence lawmaking).

Lmao

The only truth is that there is no truth

I aspire to your level of philosophical ascension

Rofl

You jest, but some actually do often confuse objective perception with objective reality.

Fact is though, the pursuit of a perfect vessel with which to observe reality is silly and impractical, so we make due with common shared characteristics.

In other words, the cheese itself is not cheese, we only perceive it as cheese

Sounds like Netflix writers are a little too eager to make this work their own.

But this begs the question: why didn't they just write an original series instead of seemingly doing everything "wrong"? (quotes because artistic works technically are entirely subjective, but objective categories of 'right' and 'wrong' probably should supercede this).

It's clear the public wants a faithful portrayal, but that's the one thing the writers just aren't willing to do for some reason. I can't help but wonder why
