    My first thought was the whole ‘broken clock right twice per day’ spiel, but then I had the same epiphany.

    Yeah that guy’s a piece of shit --> wait, he’s a piece of shit right? --> …I can’t remember why I think he’s a piece of shit… am I confusing him with someone else??

    Seeing your post, there’s some Mandela shit going on here.

        I initially clicked through to say exactly this. I’d gotten a kick outta his early stuff, but when Chapelle went off the rails, I took a hard look at my standards for comedy.

        I hadn’t seen a lot of his stuff leaving up to and including the animated series, but I happened across that show at Red Rocks, and I immediately had a new respect for him. In truth, I saw a lot of myself in his challenges with anger, compassion, attention span, polarized thinking, etc., and had been testing out microdosing for about a year by then. I felt that I was seeing him for the first time, the way it resonated with me, personally.

        Beyond all that, he’s come a crazy long way from the undeniable and admitted asshole he was ten years ago. Mushrooms, or no. ✊🏼
