Problem with the Eagan Bible is the value you can pull from it kind of relies of worldly context. Putting your whole being into something as a form of dedication isn't wrong on its own, but only if that's your choice, to feel like you're contributing or like whatever you do gives you meaning or a sense of purpose. But innies are given this book and told "this is your life and your reason for living" and they're not given the "why" or any agency in determining what "meaning" and "purpose" is to them. They're essentially born into a cult. Any meaning someone on the outside with the freedom of choice might glean from his bible is intended to keep the innies in line and unquestioning by TELLING them that whatever they're doing has meaning. There's no choice there, other than choosing to believe it.

2025-03-10 19:39:48 +0000 UTCI also had similar concerns about the show being a mystery box. But I've been enjoying the ride so far, Ben Stiller has had a pretty solid track record and the whole team seems to be firing on all cylinders. We're still waiting to get answers, but Ben has stated in interviews there is a direction and it is going somewhere so hopefully it will be satisfying. Though I will say even if the overall mystery isn't resolved in a satisfying way the interpersonal stories and performances have been well worth the priced of admission.

2025-02-24 12:29:59 +0000 UTCI don't think Casey has an "outie". Selvig said something like "Take her DOWN to the testing room". DOWN is the opposite of out. If there was an accident... could it be that Casey was braindead? And the chip allows her to somehow function with the undamaged part of her brain? It's a bit farfetched but there could be something like that going on. Maybe her outie is in coma?

2025-02-24 10:26:54 +0000 UTCIm so confident that in a very twisted and weird way this is supposed to help people? Make their lives easier. Maybe his wife lost her brain / had irreversibel brain trauma / damage and using her as a Test was giving her another „chance“ to live? Like having a clean start

2025-02-24 07:41:28 +0000 UTCI never noticed all those different options before, I’m kinda scared now what if they use the clean slate option for one of them that sounds pretty irreversible 💀 What if the testing floor is where they test the limits of the technology on people thought to be dead? Probably how they were able to invent these different options

2025-02-24 06:04:58 +0000 UTCI was always very confused about what the deal with the dancers was, until one of my friends pointed out that a "waffle party" probably just means sex, with its own lumen flair to it. Dylan dipped early (thank goodness), but the dancers were 100% the 4 tempers. there was a painting earlier in the show in the wellness wing that had Kier taming the 4 tempers that were all represented by the figures we saw, and he was also using the whip thing or whatever that was in the bed. I think it was the 9 core principles. Anyways, next episode is one of the most heart pounding season finales I've ever seen. If this show somehow actually ends up being a mystery box explosion and falls on its face later, I would still tell people to at least finish season 1 because holy shit (and probably season 2 as well. it's fantastic so far and might be even better with the last 4 episodes that need to air).

2025-02-24 03:11:56 +0000 UTCnot here for the slander on Rickle's book, the best piece of literature since the bible, but hoo boy this is a fun one. "Elephant gives them a political orientation" made me giggle the hardest but you've got some fantastic lines in this one
