also side tangent from my other post but i do love all the difficult questions the show poses with the idea it brings: if there's a medicine that fixes everything; who gets it first? who is more "deserving" of it? do "bad people" deserve access to it? and these questions are brought up also to remind us that the main characters (and ppl irl) are flawed as well, like when marshall says if someone racist needs the medicine, do they give it to him? the answer is obviously that healthcare is a human right, and that you can't pick and choose who deserves basic human rights, but marshall is like. kinda white liberal ab it. and is so removed from the world around him that it's easy for him to forget that it would be real life humans his science is affecting. you see it in the show, how almost flippantly he treats life beacuse he has a way to "fix" any damage he causes (ie the pidgeon) he has big ideas about how to save the world with the blue angel mushroom but no real plans outside of "grow the mushroom"

go watch Common Side Effects!!!!
