I think technology connections has a video where he says that while he thinks it sucks to do that, it's pretty energy efficient because the heat gets beamed directly into the water as opposed to using a coil stove. This assumes you don't have an electric kettle.
The pickle rick episode is obviously about how rick does all this crazy crap because he's trying to do anything possible to avoid his feelings but the whole show is quite obviously about the same thing. The whole show is about how even tho he's got near godlike powers, his real nemesis is himself and his own egotism, which is a defense mechanism to help him avoid feeling grief and loss, and he can sometimes kind of recognize part of this but he can't really accept it about himself or overcome it long term. That episode is just the most explicit about it.
It seemed like the confused dream of an extremely conservative old man on psychadelics. I don't really think even if I could follow it that it would have been worth following tbh.
It's really too bad, he's made a lot of classic movies. This is likely to be his last one and it's a real stinker.
