Oh snap. You have officially returned the favor. I didn't know where I was going to start with Interstellar because it's SUCH a sci-fi movie that I didn't really think there would be layers to it on the level of Nope. But you're so freaking right!!! Where are the GD air filters!!!!!!!!! OMG. OK, tomorrow I know what I'm doing haha. Thank you. Thank you. You'll be getting voice notes for sure. Also, to be an adult about it, your comparison to not using air filters against the COVID pandemic is spot f'ing on. Why don't we do the things that would so simply solve our problems (or at least make them rationally manageable)? Why do we seem to hunger for pain and struggle? Jung talked about 'low-level spiritual quests' in people who have no formal religion, no god to hang their hopes on; we create disasters in our lives in order to feel something and ultimately experience redemption. This need for redemption - is it just a part of being human that we can't escape?
