Episode notes
Dave Foster Wallace says something that I think is insightful he said the passivity and schizoid decay still endure for later in his character's reception of images and waves of data. The ability to combine them only adds a layer of disorientation when all experience can be deconstructed and reconfigured they're become simply too many choices. In the absence of any credible non-commercial guides for living the freedom to choose is about as liberating quote unquote as a bad acid trip each quantum is as good as the next.
