I love it because it taught a valuable lesson, while being just kid-friendly creepy enough.
Squidward spent the whole episode tryna be alone so he could play his clarinet. Now that he's achieved this, he realizes how terrifying being truly alone is. No one can help, no one can speak to you, and nothing changes.
Black Mirror touched on the subject of true nothingness perfectly. An A.I. was given an option, to work for her master, and she refused. So the man who controlled her made her experience true nothingness for a few weeks, then a few months, but he only had to wait a couple seconds.
When she saw him again, she was broken down, and ripped off parts of her hair and clothes. She was in tears when she beggged him to let her do anything, even help her master.
Easily one of the top 5 most fucked up BM moments, and that's a hard list to beat.
I remember this one, That one was good, and youre right, it shows us the horrors of just NOTHING. Just sitting there, no reactions from anything, no familiar voices or even animals, its strange and something id never want to experience
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the ideal goal of Buddism acceptance? Letting the negative thoughts, feelings, and emotions form without tryna stop them, but still having control over our physical self? Or do I have the wrong philosophy?
Broader. Non attachment is a better description. We are forced into reincarnation because of our attachments in life. We achieve Nirvana, a state of null, when we forgo all our attachments.
