      Other people could probably pick out the flaws in it but I loved the show Maniac on Netflix and I loved the ending Because it's really raw, it hurts The sci-fi miracle psych cure didn't work, he's still fucked up, and he honestly tells her what living with him will be likehttps://twitter.com/LuxAlptraum/status/1385581907530891278 …

      I’ve been on the receiving end of terrifying anger, etc, from people who have BPD or bipolar or some other dx and it *sucks*. It really *sucks*. But I always try to feel compassion for those people and hope that they get the care they need.

      He tells her everything she'll go through, everything his loved ones have gone through And the audience reaction really is intended to be "No one is obligated to put up with that, most people couldn't put up with that" But... she chooses to

      Like most really smart shows it's hard to put into a pithy summary what it's "about" But one thing it's definitely about is this accepted truth in the history of psychology, that "analysis is of limited therapeutic value"

      Any given person's pathologies and traumas can be dissected into an infinite number of onion layers You can try to pick it apart forever, get to the root of your problems in childhood or whatever, and it won't necessarily fix anything

      Freud's big project at trying to understand the mind had a pretty poor track record at its intended purpose of fixing people The most empirically successful approaches don't bother with that shit CBT etc treat your mind like a black box and only seek to change your behavior

      But... so what, the series asks Maybe those onion layers are interesting in their own right Maybe the hallucinatory dreamscapes the Machine generates are beautiful for their own sake, even if you're still just as crazy when you come back out

      Maybe you'll never know if your analytical work ever found the real, objective truth of why you're fucked up rather than some projected fantasy So what Maybe the journey of trying to find that truth, find an answer, is worth it in and of itself

      Maybe the journey of the mind to seek to understand itself and be at peace with itself is what life is actually about And trying to make you a productive citizen who can hold down a job and shit is only a means to that end Instead of the other way around

      Yeah this comes very close to "fetishizing" or "celebrating" mental illness and we're all taught that that's bad But you know what, I find the existing status quo of mental health discourse alienating and dehumanizing enough it could stand a little problematic pushback

      This idea that the Machine never *fixed* either of their illnesses but it made them *understand* each other's illness and having come to such an understanding they can't just dismiss each other the way they could before they knew

          This idea that there's some ways to be a human that fit well with other humans and work well in the world And there's some that fit horribly with other humans and cause endless problems in the world But seen from the inside they're all equally unique, beautiful, precious

          The space inside every human skull contains worlds within worlds within worlds, a universe entire, etc A problematic and challenging message (he's an unstable creep who fixates obsessively on random women, she's a pathological liar/manipulator who's robbed everyone she's met)

          Also it's just funny that the leads are Jonah Hill and Emma Stone and it's a Superbad reunion
