Thanks for that! I need more of the good lines distilled. People miss that there's a ton of legit philosophy in the show (I mean beyond the scenes where Chidi is directly teaching of course). It's not just a side bit to use here and there where it helps the jokes or the narrative or whatever. I really fell in love with that, like not only was the show hilarious and FULL of interesting and likeable characters, they really made it kind of a class in (or "love letter" about?) the strengths/weaknesses/clashes to different approaches to existential philosophy.
And they did it in a way that wasn't ham-fisted, ya know? If you already knew some, you'd pick up on it, if not, maybe you'd pick up a few tidbits here and there but otherwise, just a great show without any of that! That's so hard to do well, idk, I'm just so impressed lol.
