>>181936316Like I said in some earlier b8 thread, this moment is a nice little microcosm of what's wrong with the whole movie. The underlying message (man is successively decentered and knocked off his chauvinistic pedestal by the progress of thought) is ruined by sloppy, stupid, ugly, inelegant DUDE WEED tier writing.
The copernican revolution shattered the psyche of the west and we still haven't recovered from it. It's not "crazy" to take this moment as a kind of entre or metonymy for universal nihilism.
