Learyfan said: Feldman, I really love the show. Just watched a couple episodes last night. I don't like Dr. Drew, but I watched that episode and the Damien Echols one.
In episode 1, I liked how he talked about meditating. In the Echols episode, I like how Damien said that enlightenment isn't the goal, but rather the first step in a process, which makes total sense. I don't remember hearing anyone say that in that way.

I didn’t like the first one, it misunderstands what meditation is and as for the enlightenment one it assumes that such a state is real.
Also didn’t really appreciate the simulation episode. The series as a whole is pretty depressing

I do not like this show. The writing reads like it was done by a 19 year old who just started using drugs and thinking. Maybe it is interesting to people who never went through that for themselves

The composition is very dry to me.

Also I’m pretty sure the writing is interviews the guy did on his podcast

This show is all illuminatied out. He's pretty much talking to the triangle or the all seeing eye of god. Kinda like he is God himself. Experiencing different beings and different worlds by what....? Putting his head into a vagina looking contraption??? Is that what it's all about? The triangle, all seeing eye thing, is worshiping pussy so that you can see everything or be God? Is this what freemasonry is all about?

The last episode is worth watching IMO. The rest kind of fall flat. Pity since it seemed like at interesting concept for a show. Waking Life does it better

yes waking life did it better but it still hit the spot for me, although...
I watched it the night of the 21'st (i'm guessing a day after they put it out on 4/20?) it's been almost two months of being confined in my room and i decided it was time to smoke some hashish. i stopped smoking cannabis years ago and the last few times i did (once in a long while for the past few years) have all been a paranoia shitfest and near fainting spells.
but i thought now that i'm alone and there's nothing to do it might be interesting to smoke and perhaps do a movement class/dance around, masturbate and maybe watch a movie... you know.. self care, lol  it's been about a year and a half maybe two since the last time i got high.
i got really zonged though, it was late and movement class was hard because i was quite physically tired, that said i did find a whole different level to my dance which always attracted me to getting high.
but then the paranoia hit... screens, brainwashing, the fucking covid, social media, me being 38 jobless with no money and the future after this pandemic... you know, existential angst.
thankfully i was really calm and knew that i would probably generate some paranoia and could somehow let the thoughts role over without getting too attached to anything. so i thought lets just watch some silly thing on netfilx and i saw this new cartoon and just pressed play...
it felt like the universe aligned to share with me its trip, it was all for me... instant connection with what i was feeling and thinking and the absurdity and disconnected between the words and the cartoon craziness...
i liked it a lot and that's not to say that i agree with everything they're saying, it's just a cartoon after all, still it was interesting and entertaining.
now i feel like my 18 year old getting hyped about anything while high, like the guy in half baked "but did you ever try ... on WEED?" lol
anyway i enjoyed it and highly recommend it as a light watch

Yes. It watches like conversations I've had and read on the shroomery for years. It's visually interesting but it's like watching a podcast while you watch a cartoon instead of just watching the cartoon. And not even that because you can tell the conversation is constructed so it seems weird. I don't hate it it's just not for me.

Just watched this show and think its fucking great. Forget the haters on here because yes it is a podcast put to animation not scripted though dont know where u got that idea ita obviously a podcast i noticed about 2 minutes in. Its not gonna make u suddenly guru or anything. But gives some fun thoughts on Buddhism, meditation, and psychology. Suprised people here dont like it more i think they got a "butt plug stuck in their brain" or something  Yea waking life was similer i saw it in theatress when o was 18 and it rocked jist cuz im older and learned more doesn't make it any less interesting yall need to get off ur high horse or ride it somewhere else shiiaaa...

no butt plug in my brain I just have a tendency to gravitate my attention towards things that my attention has not previously been exposed to. during the course of the entire first episode I did not hear one idea or thought that I had not heard or even thought of myself before
so yes I am a hater and I dont care. even if it were just the podcast, I wouldn't listen to it. and I love rick and morty. this show is just boring

Agree with this. I loved the series, but it demands multiple viewings. That way you get to absorb different bits at different times. On first viewing, it's too much and a lot of it washes over you. There's a crazy amount of detail and comedy in the visuals.
Now I come to think of it, perhaps it fits... Isn't life a bit like that in general? I find myself 'rewatching' scenes from my past, and inching closer to understanding the (usually dumb) comedy of living.
