@james_fisch 11 ай бұрын

He absolutely is, and I admittedly feel terrible that I didn't think of his philosophy a few years ago. I tended to refer to entire groups of people as "all awful", which deservedly upset several people who fit into said groups. Most of them didn't do it to me and I lashed out unfairly. The past couple of years I've been working to stop doing that because I completely disregarded the individuals, forgetting that they're what are important. I'm far from perfect at that now, but I'm getting better and hoping that kind of philosophy is passed on to people I get to know throughout my lifetime.

Everything he said about the dynamic of the individual vs. the group hit home with me. I share that same view of the world. I prefer to deal with people on an individual level and avoid crowds like the plague. Once you find yourself amongst the crowd, you tend to lose yourself and end up at the mercy of whatever the mob thinks and wants to do. I have been doing my own thing all my life, have had a lot of interesting experiences and seen a lot of interesting places. Yes it gets lonely at times, but that is pretty much the only drawback. Nothing is perfect. But freedom, sanity, control over your own life, and inner peace far outweigh the loneliness.

@shaekisbat5043 9 ай бұрын

Really glad to see someone else feels this way too. I generally have social anxiety but I can happily interact with a single person, even 2 is not a problem. But when I see a group I completely shut off and I'm like "WTF are these people even doing, this is so pointless." and I leave. When I heard this individuality thing from Carlin it hit me like a 100000ton locomotive and everything I've felt in the last many years started to make sense. But I agree, it gets lonely sometimes and depression makes it even worse. Worst part is, there is no solution to such a unique problem cuz it feels like everyone wants to be in a group.

The trick that you're all missing is to be a great bullshiter. If you jerk off enough people in the crowd to can make them think you're one of them, and as time passes as you gain their trust you can slowly start showing your true self to them and they'll be so used to you they won't even notice the change. You just need to make sure you don't lose yourself in the process.

Truer today then when it aired in the mid 90's, which is hilarious and sad all at the same. When it comes to humanity i always think "Oh well easy come easy go!!"

Alone you tell the truth to yourself. In a group you say what you think the others want to hear.

That is a genius bumper sticker. "If you believe there's a solution, you're part of the problem." - George Carlin. I'm totally making one. 😂😂😂

I kinda like it when a lotta people find a Carlin routine - delivered just two days before 9/11 - originally started on a Conan show from 1996.
