Oustanding...a man many years ahead of his time.....

@veganthrope But realize how that all worked out. Coincidence? I Ching? Synchronicity? Dick believed we're all living in a simulation; a prerecorded life. There was some extraterrestrial stuff going on with Dick and divine illumination.
-
Even in the 60s, most grains were cheaper than dog food--i think the self-promotion narrative makes good sense. But that doesn't make Dick any less cool.
-
@Flubly - Dick wrote about having to buy dog food and lie about having a dog to do it; the profound humiliation. Dick lived most of his life poor or at least right on the knife's edge. He never gloried in his poverty, said it was "enriching" or "fun"; he hated being poor.

I can't believe after two years only 25,000 views!!!

I've seen another documentary where Phil's wife talked about eating dog food too. They were dirt poor and making fun of that seemed kind of in bad taste to me. It wasn't a concept of Phil but actually him and his wife eating dog food because they couldn't afford anything else. Poverty isn't ironic, it's poverty. Some people let literary theory leak into their lives too much.

The nerd at 2:48 was completely wrong about why chose the name "Horselover Fat" for the main character of VALIS. Philip comes the Greek word 'Philippos' which means 'horselover' while Dick means 'thick' (fat) in German. It had absolutely nothing to do with PKD eating horse meat.
