I HEART HUCKABEES (2004) and WAKING LIFE (2001)

Why we picked it

"have you ever transcended space and time?" "yes. no. uh, time, not space. no, i don't know what you're talking about." - I HEART HUCKABEES (2004) consciousness... we all experience it, but what even is it? how do we define it? can i pick up my consciousness and take it for a walk? can i get a refund on my consciousness? mine's defective... but seriously, i'm not overly interested in defining consciousness with a capital C, as i think the subject of consciousness is such a vast topic that isn't limited to any one definition. i'm curious to dive deep into consciousness' many facets, explore its subjectivity, and hear what you all have to say about your own experiences with consciousness, both in the psychedelic experience and outside of it. i want to preface that i'm more interested in consciousness as a whole, not solely focusing on it from a psychedelic sense (although the psychedelic aspect is worthy of discussion as well). there are so many angles we can take with this Meetup,
