I've always wondered about the connection between the two parts in this episode, but now I'm starting to feel it.
Rick and Jerry are two extremes here. We can consider one extremely smart and one extremely stupid. Rick acted like he saw through all the virtual images, he didn't trust everyone, he was always in control of the direction of things, and always left a way out for himself; Jerry accepted all the virtual images and believed them to be true, he was always very naturally surrounded by At the mercy of things, he is always reckless and has no way out.
However, Rick could never let go. He is always in anxiety and imagining and preventing crises, and he is always alone in his heart. Jerry's attitude of always surrendering to reality, always wanting to make the least effort, has allowed him to be happy with very little premise. He's an idiot, as can be seen in the failure of the advertising campaign after he returned to the real world, but I'm sure he'll soon be able to get out of the pain of this failure and find joy in more mundane things, quite a bit The taste of Ah Q's spirit.
