On a semi-related note: I was watching some movie or TV show recently, and there's a scene that goes approximately like this:
Character A: "something, something, something, Doors of Perception."
Character B: "Okay, Timothy Leary."
Character A: "Huxley."
Character B: "What?"
Character A: "Huxley wrote The Doors of Perception, not Timothy Leary."
The thing is, I can't remember now what that was from and it's bugging the shit out of me. Any chance anybody here is familiar with the work in question and could tell me what it was?

- johndoughy 5y agoI think it's from Black Mirror: Bandersnatch: https://transcripts.thedealr.net/script.php/black-mirror-bandersnatch-2018-dq8m https://transcripts.thedealr.net/script.php/black-mirror-ban...
- mindcrime 5y agoThat sounds like it. Thanks! The funny thing is, while I have seen that, it was a long time ago (right after Bandersnatch came out). But I have the nagging notion that I saw this recently. I suppose either somebody else riffed on that scene, OR (perhaps more likely) something I was doing led me to go back and watch a brief clip from Bandersnatch on Youtube or something, and it was in fact that very scene. Funny that I can't recall the details now though. I just recall the "OK Timothy Leary" and "it was Huxley, not Leary" thing. Weird. Edit: Aaaah... maybe what I'm remembering is this relatively recent HN thread which actually mentioned that scene. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29631782 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29631782 That thread itself being a discussion of Huxley and The Doors of Perception.
