0:00.0 | Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults. |
0:03.7 | Now administering third eye drops. You know how most older television shows have the type of formula where each episode |
0:30.0 | functions on its own as sort of a one-off self-contained story where it starts and |
0:38.6 | fully resolves a whole plot line within the confines of a single episode. Usually it's |
0:47.2 | really sacrant stuff. It's like Saturday morning cartoons. It's like every unwatchable now shitty |
0:57.2 | leave it to Beaver type show out there. They would all have a very earnest, trivial story arc in every episode. But life is not that way. We've got layers and layers of discursive stories, most of which are inflicted upon us |
1:18.8 | omni directionally by circumstance, culture, genetics, obligation, the media, the fractal noia, as Douglas Rushkoff it of being a modern human. |
1:36.5 | We've got it all from the highly trivial, from go get stamps and buy tampons, not sure why I chose that example, to what do you want to be when you grow up, to, |
1:58.8 | to, I'm sorry, but it's terminal. And those moments, those narratives, no matter how miniscule or profound, |
2:10.0 | actually obfuscate the bigger story of the self, the real story, the one that doesn't force you, |
2:19.4 | the one that is gently throbbing and calling out to you through the subtle pangs of existential angst |
2:29.0 | you sometimes feel, the ones emanating from the darkest, scariest corner of your psychic basement. |
2:40.0 | Really it's probably under the basement. It's like a forgotten tomb, a place buried so deep you forgot how to even get there. |
2:49.0 | But guess what? That's exactly where we all need to go. But as I said, we lack the map. Society collectively |
3:01.7 | lacks the will. They lack the agency to even want to discover that place, at least |
3:10.8 | for the most part and those unexpressed aching wonder glands |
3:20.0 | become increasingly uncomfortable. |
3:25.0 | uncomfortable. And if we let them swell too much, |
3:30.0 | if we go long enough without truly searching for the source of that calling out, I mentioned, things feel off. |
3:41.6 | That subtle angst and restlessness just builds until suddenly all sorts of nasty |
3:47.4 | shit starts to occur. You might have a midlife crisis or a nervous breakdown |
3:52.1 | or experience some other sort of disruptive schism. |
