He tells House he fell and broke his ribs years ago, and when he was given painkillers he realized being high is way better than being sober. His "fall" was a suicide attempt. House figured out which ribs it was on his own, turns out he had a ton of accessory spleens that broke off from the fall. Chase had it right early, he just didn't get all of the accessory spleens. He recognizes House as a genius, they sort of have a moment, and House gives him a bottle of DXM.
"I tried the stupid drug"
Whoever is in charge of this channel is truly a blessing
I know it's because they're props and weren't meant to be looked at closely, but I'm cracking up at the notebook at 4:22 that talks about the "Testecles Theory of Scroidial Pendulic Motion." hell yeah man
Can't believe we were out-vicodined by the official YouTube channel.
he tried the stupid drug
"In a world full of stupid people, intelligence is a curse" - House, probably
he needed mouse bites
No need to try stupid drug i guess
I guess he did try the medicine drug
This guy is what every Redditor thinks they are
I knew a guy with a photgraphic memory that was stoned 24/7 so he wouldn't remember everything.
why didnt he try the medicine drug?
I had a similar situation. I'm not a genius, but I understand wanting to quell a torrent of thoughts with medication. For me, the manic thoughts came from the constant gaslighting of a narcissist that led to my near-complete mental collapse. Smoking weed made all of it melt away and I could be complacent with everything without questioning my partner. I took that stupid drug for nearly a decade, because if I didn't then I would begin questioning her again. I relate to this because I medicated myself to preserve a relationship that didn't work. I don't smoke anymore, I've accepted the abuse, left that partner, and got therapy to help me grasp everything that happened and move on. My sober self can't find a shred of attraction for that person anymore, but unlike this patient, I wouldn't drug myself again to return to it. Ignorance might be bliss, but complacency with a lie is untenable, and the truth does set you free. This character and I both wanted something that we knew we couldn't have with our wits about us. We settled for delusion over strife. It really gets me in the feels watching this.
Funny, I also use a drug to cure my superior intelligence. It's one part Jack Daniels, two shots of vodka, Drambuie, Four Loko, and a tiny umbrella.
Finally, the stupid drug
Only medicine people try the stupid drug! You are medicine!
This episode got the point wrong. It is like a caricature of intelligence. What, your IQ is over 100, that means you sit at home and draw up plans for superconductors and write programs for ASI on paper? First time I watched this episode I actually agreed with the idea of intelligence being a curse. But I grew up. Intelligence is not a curse, and this episode is trying, and failing, to make that point. Remember, person who reads this comment, a writer in Hollywood cannot write a genius unless they themself are a genius. You cannot write about something you do not understand. For example, he says she is 91 points lower in IQ ... IQ is how fast you understand a problem and find a solution, it is not a metric of "how smart" you are. They completely miss the point.
Whoever runs this channel is a goddamn genius
