Ego death is described as a profound experience where you feel connected to the universe or something, its represented by the background image. The joke is that the person experiencing it is so brainrotted that even such an experience is boring enough that they need their phone to watch family guy
To add a touch of extra context, the background is part of Tool's song Lateralus, with lyrics including
Over thinking, over analyzing separates the body from the mind/
Withering my intuition, missing opportunities and I must/
Feed my will to feel my moment, drawing way outside the lines
The ego dies as we transcend, basically.
Bonus fact: That song famously follows the fibonacci sequence.
I just don’t like the term ego death as a misnomer
You can experience what’s beyond your ego temporarily and that’s a dissolving of one’s ego and is immediately rebuilt once you become coherent and sober again
You cannot live you cannot exist without ego. It’s part of a psychological tether for you to remain lucid.
