1.
I think that TV plays the biggest role in regards to what DFW has to say about addiction. For him, the television was this placid isolating banality that we use to reduce the pain of existing, or making effort to exist. His view of drugs was the same, that eventually they merely become this shadow of a former thing that keep wishing and wishing would make us feel something, but know it won't.

2. Honestly, the biggest take away from In Search is that memories are precious and the absoloute beauty of discrete and quiet moments of our personal memories (which no-one else has access to, and are as brittle as us) are totally invaluable. I definitely think this is the absoloute core of that work, and is reduced upon a comedic manner in the words " 'member shit "
