I loved the midpoint about reincarnation and how to end one's suffering. Yes, stay safe!

Just been watchng some youtube clips of the Jon Pertwee Dr Who era. That was the doctor I grew up with and enjoyed watching as a child. It's shocking, seeing it now and seeing how dreadful the effects were in those days. Still, at least the plots were a whole lot better than the latest efforts.
Thought I'd contribute to this with a recommendation for the newest incarnation of The Twilight Zone, narrated by Jordan Peele. The second season came out several months ago, and there are three episodes (ones I found to be quite well-written and enjoyable as well) in this season that focus on parapsychological topics and the paranormal that I highly suggest watching (no spoilers for the endings of course):

Quote:Hannah has a vision of her boyfriend’s death on the same night he’s murdered. Sean, bored with his waking life, can’t wait to escape into his lucid dreams. And Noah, a struggling composer, begins to lose his grasp on reality. The lives of these three strangers are about to collide in the mysterious world of lucid dreaming.

Not sure if this has been recommended on here before, since it's a fairly new show that's just been renewed for a new season...

This show is about a skeptical forensic psychologist, a tech expert/haunting debunker and a globe-trotting, in-training Catholic priest/paranormal investigator analysing cases of apparent miraculous and/or demonic activity, questioning whether there really are dark supernatural forces at work. It's a bit on-the-nose at times (and the second episode might have been inspired by the Pam Reynolds case or something similar, I'm not sure) with the 'skepticism' but it's generally well-written and engaging. Also, it's a horror, so expect some jumpscares and violent content!
I never noticed the reference to epiphenomenalism in "Funny Face" before

I really hope there is a Season 2, this format was really inspired. Matching podcast recordings with animated stories *shouldn't* work this well, but they really pulled it off IMO. Honestly this is the kind of stuff proponents should be putting out, the emotional resonance of a meaningful life and meaningful love. edit: Was it Duncan Trussel who said if he was about to be murdered he'd ask his killer if they were truly happy?

Rick Beato on YouTube
If ever I saw a man living his life’s destiny, it is this. Rick’s an expert about music in so many ways, but one of the things I like most has been watching his followers grow from a few hundred thousand to over 2 million in a short time. His ego hasn’t grown - I kind of Love him!
Oh my God, I hate all this.
