How has the government throttled the internet? Doc thinks that when they found out how good acid was, but how it made you not buy into the capitalist dreams, they outlawed it. He thinks the internet will be killed too. I'd say in my lifetime I've seen it turned into a way to kill many things. You can't read a text that doesn't have advertising spliced into it a million ways. While they got you to rush in, hooked you with free stuff, it has evolved to be one big advertisement. Netflix is even talking about adding in advertising. 

Pynchon uses paranoia in connecting ideas as a narrative device. He puts it in the mouths of characters, and like with Shakespeare, you don't know how much he really believe it as more than a narrative device. Like Shakespeare Pynchon is hidden. Shakespeare through the mist of time, and Pynchon by consciously avoiding any publicity or press. It's worked for his brand, selling novels.

On the movie soundtrack, Minnie Riperton has a song with the most plays called Les Fleurs. She grew up on the south side of Chicago, and sung in the whistle register. She died of breast cancer at age 31. Watch her Lovin' You. It saddens me they discovered the breast cancer too late, and "too late" is a thing. Maya Rudolph is her daughter, and she's married to Paul Thomas Anderson, who directed the movie Inherent Vice. 

Mickey get put into an institution when he starts to believe housing should be free. 

Quotes from movie:

"They told me I was precious cargo that couldn't be insured because of inherent vice."

"Inherent Vice in a marine insurance policy is anything you can't avoided, eggs break, chocolate melts, glass shatters. Doc wondered what that meant when applied to ex old ladies."
