The Dialectics of Rick & Morty 

I wish this comment had more likes, pretty funny.

Hi fellow dyslexic

Bro I read that as 'dialectics' not 'dyslexics' and got confused on why you were calling yourself dyslexic.

@@imbitchin and on and on and on and on and on and-

This comment is great dyslexic representation tbh

i relate to it way more than i should lol

I struggle with eating so bad and I completely relate lmao

I don't have depression, I just wasn't meant to be born 😅

I need that quote on a -shirt or, maybe, a protest sign.

I'm storing this line in my brain forever if I swear and someone has a problem with it

I wish 7th grade me had the vocabulary to express this

To preface, I’m someone who is going through a religious detox, but I wouldn’t say I’m moving away from it, as much as reevaluating everything I learned. Feel free to ignore this if you have any religious trauma (trust me I understand). Any way my two cents: as far as my biblical knowledge goes, I think that’s the actual definition. There’s a lot about Christianity that I don’t fully understand, but rn don’t see Jesus as an oppressor. He didn’t fight for people to believe in him; faith (if taught properly) is about choice. People have a tendency of making the thing(s) they worship about themselves or their own glory which is kind of an oxymoron.

There are quite a few "chistians" that claim to love god and follow his teachings, but do their best not to follow what he taught by putting conditions on love and finding excuses to kill. What could be more taking the lords name in vain than being a fake christian?

aw 🥲

I never noticed this before but you're absolutely right. Rick is so jaded and broken, he can't appreciate anything simple, nor acknowledge the value of it and those who made it happen.

I never noticed this before! Such a good detail

it's also shown later that he is a beekeeper

​@@LDVenus-kz2lc It just occurred to me why they might have picked beekeeping... imagine Rick trying to be a beekeeper for a moment. Actually, now that I'm picturing Rick dealing with a swarm of bees, maybe that was in the episode too.

ahahah it's only a matter of time before we all start speaking like CJ

Every time I feel useless I could just watch the beginning of this video and feel better

@@log_e555 that's a future that I'm here for

@@log_e555 I am prepared for that

Ohhhhhhhh snap look what's back baby!!!!! Let's GOOOOOOO

it will come back. But it will never be as good as Mr. Poopy Butthole

god bless. Is it still curing? ;)

666th like I wouldn't normally make comment of such a thing, but considering what content we are commenting on, it feels necessary. :,)

I'm the 1000th liker btw

BIG MOOD.

But WAIT- Don’t you Know? The universe Does have infinite wisdom -But not to defeat you. Exactly the opposite it’s there for you to draw upon ,guided by your intuition, to create the best version of yourself, which creates in turn, in turn, the best version of your life, which involves surrounding yourself with all the best of what the world has to create the best reality - where you were meant to live. because once you’re centered and aligned with your true purpose and know your own truth the universe conspires with you to create a world that feeds your vision of your ideal lifestyle and existence. Everyone who has mastered their destiny is operating on this principle. Joe Rohan, Trump, Dolly Parton, Elon Musk, Walt Disney, Hunter, S Thompson, Hemingway, Thomas Jefferson…. Who actually came up with these very principles as a religion witch is the spiritual practice of being a UNIVERSAL UNITARIAN . It’s why I’m independently, wealthy, a world traveler, why I am able to spend time with the powerful and famous as well as the poor and lost. we all seek the same things, comfort, security, happiness. We all fear the same things Pain, loss, weakness, death. We all have traumas and triumphs , and regrets and fantasies. We are all deeply connected beyond all that divides us . we may have different cultures colors, beliefs, ages, geographic locations, but we all see the moon at night and have mornings and mothers and hearts and minds and when we know ourselves deeply enough, we know our fellow man . Because we all smile in the same language, and are guided by the rhythm of our hearts, which are powered by the universe,It is our power to use. Shift your focus, and suddenly you’ll see beyond all that limits you now. It’s mostly ourselves. Just as it’s ourselves who will be who saves us - We are the hero of our story. And the writer and director. So make it what it’s meant to be …

I don't think I could have said it any better. That's the essence of what I find so particularly satisfying about these videos. Allows just a taste of that peak manic state... that immediately proceeds the drop off, then a very hard bottoming out.

bonkbonkbonk bonkbonk

I was like "I've seen this before?" "but it was posted today?" Annnd then he does his rhythmic rant opening and I just am in- REWATCH TIME!

This video is so dense it's worth a rewatch every now and then

Weekly? I’m on daily

ded ☠

is that a fucking space jam two reference?

Hey shanspeare 👋🏾😊

@@matheussanthiago9685 I believe it's a way to say the RU-vid algorithm without saying algorithm.

CJ the X is an ADHD icon

I'm in the same boat. I want to create and make video essays but I hold myself to too high of a standard. wish you luck on your endeavors! (I also have ADHD so this seems to be a common problem)

bro you good

Ohmygod, I DO have little fits of panic & anxiety in my head considering not being a perfectionist

This channel has no videos

“Ha, GAYYYYYYYYYYY”

Never really thought of it but now that I am it just makes so much sense

I do still think there is value to admit that true platonic love is a thing and is very important, especially for men, though.

@@omnidiscord of course, but it feels like the only time anyone ever brings that up is when people are discussing canonically queer scenarios, and it can get frustrating. Especially when there are tons of examples of platonic friendships in media already.

i haven't engaged with the show or the fanbase (sigh) since s5 ended but oh boi the discourse around episode 5x08... there was no heterosexual explanation im glad cj brought it up

But he used to wear blue jeans

Amen. Rick is a fuck up to me lol. I don't see how he's idolised.

I think this is wrong too. Dan even says in the video you're meant to want to be like Rick, he says that sometimes you do feel like you're the smartest person in the room. Rick and morty isn't about how Rick is entirely not admirable. It's about how inspite of all those good qualities he cannot appreciate life and how his irony is really weekness. It's easy to see how someone could idolize Rick, especially younger people like me. An interesting thing is that Rick's familiy is much like the fanbase. Idolizing him inspite of his obvious flaws.

@@poisonedbananabread1460 You're meant to like most protagonists on some level. It's like how you want to see Walter White's plans succeed even though he becomes a monster.

@@patu8010 True

It's escapism, we all wanna act like that type of character for just a little cause it sounds fun (the idea of it not the actual consequences that come with it of course) and there is nothing wrong with writing a character like that in a sitcom which Rick and Morty is first and foremost, putting blame on the writers for what the fans themselves decide to do with him is weird cause you can make that argument for any type of cynical sitcom character like Rick

Just decided to come out instead of worrying how people perceived your identity, your identity was the art that you were sharing with the world

I has a similar realization. I convinced myself I couldn’t present fem or change my pronouns or whatever until I hit some arbitrary milestone that made me a “real woman” When I finally accepted that it didn’t matter and I could just start dressing and acting however I want, and I don’t have to get to some finish line, I feel like I finally find myself.

As someone who just needed to be given permission by some rando on the internet to try out new pronouns, I get it. The final egg crack is elusive but powerful.

They're not trying to repress anything. He just got hit with copyright strike. Most things are surface level.

@@rustytoyota that's okay, I'm just sad all those views went down the drain!

Oof. Doesn't necessarily seem like the most constructive comment. Yeah, it's pretty good though

@@samueljohnson6934 it's there for engagement, nothing else tbh

​@@samueljohnson6934 man is tryna parasocially explode onto a digital face, and the paranoid delusions are what ticked it for you, dog you clearly are in the wrong neck of the woods. You just wasted a perfectly good gaslight. @Teodora Petkovic, I saw an article on Twitter about new algorithmic obstructions, depending on your recent voting patterns. You should look into this.

thank god for your comment

yeah, I finished the video right before going to sleep and just closed my laptop when the credits started and today I opened it again, ready to click away and do something else but the the skit captivated me and I ended up watching the whole thing and then scrolled down into the comments to see if anyone else acknowledges it (which is why I'm here)

Okay. I'll bite. You're wrong. Executive dysfunction is hard to deal with, for sure. And that's really the common root of problems related to ADHD. But, just like you still find a way to show up to appointments that you find important, you can make incremental progress executing on an idea as you find the spoons to act with. A ton of folks with severe ADHD do it every day. Does it take longer? Often, yes. Does it take organization, planning, and extra steps of work to be able to more sporadically dip in and out of the activity? Almost certainly. Does it come at a higher risk that you may come to dislike your idea or think of a better one before you finish it? Yep. And so on with the list of other similar questions... But you're also forgetting that many ADHD folks have access to hyperfixation and hyperfocus. And you can use that to your advantage. Many of them easily think laterally in a way that NT people often can't. And so on with the responses... We class ADHD as a neurodivergence instead of just a mental illness because folks who deal with it aren't just coping with destructive symptoms, but potentially constructive ones as well if they are allowed to apply them.

yeah you are.

@@missdiction4455 Has he said that he does before though?

@@gogauze I know ADHD people that can create more effectively and way faster once they actually get interested into what they're doing

It's definitely something that a lot of people with ADHD I personally know (including myself) have to unlearn. The excitement that talking about something produces energizes us to create it, so in youth we often develop habits of talking about ideas with people before doing them. The problem is, as you grow older, people start to expect you to deliver on the ideas you discuss. When you lose interest in what you were making (as is also common with executive dysfunction) or simply promise more than you are capable of, and produce subpar results or none at all, they are disappointed, and the rejection sensitivity dysphoria makes that disappointment hit like a truck full of pricks. This becomes a terrible cycle where you believe nothing you create will ever be good, and either never create or hate everything you make, and in both cases hate yourself for it. The solution, in my experience, is to not do the telling your friends part. Keep your projects private until they are close enough that you know you can finish them well. There are better ways to get yourself hyped for a project.

I'm not sure I follow the logic. Although the latter half of season two was lacking, it didn't seem to be because the mystery of Laura Palmer was solved; the issues seem more to do with other writers and directors coming in and just not being Lynch and getting the tone and direction wrong. I mean the scenes with Windom Earle are still great, and the ending is incredible, with everything driven with that mix of mystery and purpose. Yet who happens to have taken over again by the end? David Lynch.

TV killed Laura Palmer, she symbolizes the purity of cinema. Or something like that.

And then there's The Return, which completely upends everything, frequently doesn't seem to have anything to do with the first two seasons at all, and is completely, utterly brilliant.

me toooo

My playwriting professor told me once: "there is no such thing as right and wrong, there's only wrong and less wrong", which in itself helped me break free from my own perfectionism. It's not about nailing it each project, it's about making shit and working towards making less shit.

it's the only way to save show

or just maybe separate the art from the artist? his voice was very good.

@@TheImmilky too much work and not worth the effort... fuck justin roiland, fuck rick and morty... only CJ can save the show now

@@louisaruth what is too much work? More work will come from the new voice actor to match the character's vibes for sure Again, in no way I defend the scum that is Roiland, BUT it's a lie that his voice is not great for these characters and a big part of their appeal to audience. I separate his voice from the creation.

@@TheImmilky i don't care. end the show. it's not worth it if CJ doesn't get the job

Straight up Mr Shapie only says “Trans is bad, women rights is bad, gay people are bad.” And his followers go haywire 😭😭😭

😂😂😂😂😂

I actually checked the playback speed at one point during the video because I was starting to think I'd accidentally set it to 1.25x

Ben Shapiro is to uptight and close minded to recognize this as something to aspire to instead of brush aside as too manic and self indulgently hyper analytically rambunctious to take seriously. Which may describe him , actually…oh the irony…

@@icu3869 But this guy is smart and worth listening to. Ben is not.

monkey brain likey the fast words

true!!! I've basically started rewatching it like....... daily

*neurons activated to the fast pace of cool words spoken*

Where can we read the short story?

i want to read the story where can i find it :)

Congrats!!

Yes! It literally changed me.

Can we get the story Link?

I think its cool to use people to represent internalized self talk, and who better hype man against Perfection then a Bisexual Biploar Biracial Monarch of our Hearts and Souls. If you dont wanna right that threes company au Fanfiction... think of CJ the X throwing a plant at you and killing people until you do

omg real paranoia is a bitch

YES!! That's why I can't preform in front of people as well

Was it worth the watch?? I’m still on the fence

@@LOLmisscrazy if cj says it's good then it's good 😌

@@LOLmisscrazy yes!! I definitely made surface level judgments and thought it didn’t look that interesting, but after watching this I decided to give it a chance. I like it because it doesn’t take itself too seriously, but the characters are interesting and theres eps that still add to the storyline and deepen the characters

@@Maria-iv8te agreed, CJ has immaculate taste

@@atticuselm yes the shows he talks about are always thought provoking without being pretentious

Day by day just tend to the seeds you wish to grow.

@@Adromedary exub is such a gem.

Making art is like vomiting in a few ways. It just has to get out. Keeping it in because you're scared what others think when they see it, that will only make you sick. Maybe you don't want to be watched vomiting, I know I don't, but as you said, just do it with the door closed. The part where you show it to others and realize they like it more than you do is where the analogy kinda falls apart.

@@anzaia2164 lmao very true. i speak in analogies 70% of the time. i'm not sure why. i guess it's just fun and a good way for me to convey my understanding of certain things. i wonder if anyone could actually make vomit into art somehow. i doubt it tho lol

@@helenarosno I bet people have tried. And when they call it art, who are we to say it isn't? Art critics, I guess, lol. Also, same on the analogies. They're just very useful.

omg i was loosing my shit i knew i watched this video before lol

No seriously, I can't bring myself to create things because of my insecurities and the fear that I'm not going to produce anything worth meaning. The first two minutes of this video hit me like a truck and I sat for a bit just thinking about what they said.

i think you're onto it xD

The show does it better. But CJ isn't bad either

I watched about 15 minutes of this, then watched the entire series, then came back to this. Fun trip

@@chadalca17 wow

Congrats on the self discovery! Even a diagnosis may not feel great, but maybe that too is another layer of discovery. Good luck with your music!

wait people don't normally talk and think like this?

@Space Scribs children do but they're usually not that bright

All the power to you Xavier! I am a musician as well, and just finished a sold out show for a band I play in, I managed the rehearsals for the past 2 months and It almost drove me mad but man was it worth it in the end. Finding the "me" in whatever it is we do is the greatest cure and the biggest step in finding our place in the world. Wish you all the love ❤

God (Cj) works in mysterious ways…

One of my favorite fables, and a very deep and real one at that

@@SlothhhKinggg Not really. Its primal though. Primal enough for Toxic dumdums use it to justify racism, sexism and tribalism. instead of realising that we are actual factual human beings. Does apply to Rick. He is the Scorpion and the toad as hes miserable and useless. And has to believe life is meaningless when you've refused to be in society. I feel sorry for him.

@ELIZABETH LEE I wasn't talking about the show, just my opinion. And what other people's opinions are, is not my problem.

Hate to say this, but yeah, currently going through and realizing that with my mom after foster care for so many years and realizing I may have idolized her too much when I didn’t live with her. especially with her having the emotional intelligence of a teenager and acting like I’m the crazy one for going to therapy

Go you!!!!!! Anything worth doing is worth doing badly!!!!!!

unless youre actually insane, you probably arent insane.

His willingness to be Jerry got his wife and daughter killed, and he sought to be the Rickest of them all
