The 'I Do As the Crystal Guides' meme originates from the Season 4 premiere of Rick and Morty, titled 'Edge of Tomorty: Rick Die Rickpeat.' In the episode, Morty becomes obsessed with 'death crystals'—objects that show the user their potential deaths based on their current actions. Morty begins blindly following the crystal's guidance to ensure a future where he dies of old age next to his crush, Jessica. The meme captured the internet's attention in late 2019 as a perfect way to describe moments of blind obedience to a sign, a gut feeling, or an obscure piece of advice, regardless of how nonsensical it seems. It is commonly used to joke about following GPS directions, horoscopes, or chaotic internal impulses that lead to questionable outcomes.
