I like to think that Peter Wellers characters are all in the same continuity, that robocop led to naked lunch, which led to Buckaroo Banzia
Fun fact: In a movie called
The New Age, Peter Weller plays a character who pretends to be a sweepstakes administrator named "Bob Dobbs" in order to scam gullible people into paying "shipping costs" for a shittier consolation prize.
Who was it that said they believe in synchronicity?
Here's my
anti-Woo: I firmly believe that because all things are fundamentally interconnected (existing in the same universe, all coming from the same point of origin), any exhaustive analysis of apparently unrelated phenomena will inevitably yield seemingly meaningful coincidences. ("What the thinker thinks, the prover proves.") This plane can be navigated only at the cost of one's sanity.
If synchronicity is the road trip, a firm grip on reality is your gas, and you will find few, if any, stations at which to refuel.
I'm an existentialist. I do not believe that life has no meaning, merely that if it
does have one then it is neither obvious nor can we all ever hope to agree on what it might be. Nihilism is a naive and intellectually dishonest inversion of this epistemological problem; the only pragmatic and worthwhile alternative is to imbue one's own life with one's own meaning and to live passionately towards that end. The journey is its own destination.
