American ideal

This cartoon shows us what an ideal America looks like, even if today's America is no longer what it used to be.

1) Rick's countless magical inventions represent the development of technology. If we search for "100 years of American inventions", almost all important modern inventions come from the United States: televisions, the Internet, computers, airplanes, liquid rockets, atomic bombs, and more. In contrast, Rick's invention seems realistic.

2) The core of the story is exploration and adventure, which is also a kind of spirit, which complements the development of technology.

3) People from different cultures and backgrounds can live together in harmony, just like the party in the last episode. People are also always taken aback by novelty.

4) Sexual openness is realistic.

5) Rick is infinitely confident in his own abilities, and defies all traditions (including the devil), which is the arrogance that is unique to Americans.

6) Science is created by genius, as if Einstein single-handedly created a new world. Those ordinary scientists who slowly advance scientific progress through unity and cooperation are beyond people's imagination.

7) Despise mass education and believe that genius is a human endowment rather than the result of education.

8) Hate the system and bureaucracy (episode 10).

9) Science does not always create, it can also wreak havoc. Heroes are not angels, but are often ruthless, disregarding the feelings of others, and even let others die in vain, such as Abedolf ​​Lintler in the last episode.
