it's definitely real. the fact that he recognises that he has trouble reading and has to read very slowly, focusing on each letter is literally sign of dyslexia. The difference is he's smart enough to understand it as a limitation and develop personal systems to overcome it and not let it be a hindrance on his life.
I'm with Carr. Was struggling keeping up with some paperwork stuff at work. My wife is PA and suggested I get tested for learning disabilities especially since we have kids. Was diagnosed with ADHD, dyslexia, and dyscalculia. Looking back, it makes sense, but I learned to work through without any help. I mean, it's real, but it's not an excuse.
Yes, you can still read. You just have to concentrate or focus more, read slowly, and reread something if it doesn't make sense to see what word were not seen or that more on the page.
@@dustint3833 I mean you aren't wrong in the sense that its real... Problem is your experience as a dyslexic wont be the same as mine just like my particular strengths that come with dyslexia wont be the same as your strengths also some dyslexics will never read correctly or efficiently without proper intervention -OG-. ADHD has mirroring symptoms maybe the issue is you have an extremely low level of dyslexia or even just adhd.
Its definitely real. My wife has it. She's phenomenal at math but spelling and writing structure are very difficult. She said she would go to bed crying like every night in school because she had to work so hard just to barely pass and was exhausted. But, the work paid off and she's a successful commercial architect. She had to go to psychologists as an adult just for them to rediagnose her so she got extra time on the licensing exams. It's very real and very misunderstood.
It’s funny how the brain develops. Some of the most gifted people are phenomenal in one area (math) and completely deficient in another area (socializing, reading, writing, etc).
I used to do maths tutoring and have had a couple students that had dyslexia. It's definitely a real thing. The dyslexic kids I taught were probably brighter than the average kid. No problem doing mental arithmetic or comprehending the topic, just a pretty extreme difficulty with reading. Particularly reading out loud is really hard for them. Some people have it and most people don't. With a bit of assistance, they can get through the education system OK. I think the problem is that children are cruel monsters and being in any kind of 'special needs' program will likely get one bullied from time to time. Children just lack the maturity to not be a monster to someone with some kind of vulnerability.
Just children??? How were u a maths teacher but not recognise that children are just more unfiltered and that what children do is what most humans think. Most ppl would do the same if there were no consequences in the real world
I have it and so does my daughter. Ive had a fairly successful career despite struggling to spell. My mind is wired differently though and I’m able to solve problems and look at things end to end
I'm dyslexic and was a gifted student, early on it held me back. I am also on the spectrum. If you're smart enough you can find tricks to get around almost anything including not being able to read body language.
I wasn’t diagnosed until after college. It definitely is real but it’s an asset, not a disability. I wouldn’t trade my way of thinking at all. I’m also thankful I didn’t know as a kid. I would have hated for schools to pretend I have a disability when the issue is school structure.
I was followed through school from about 1983 to 1990 as part a study into dyslexia. I find it only affects me now when I'm tired or I have to take on information quickly. I also had a rare affect that my brain didn't process the world in 3D. I had to learn it. I still have trouble with small fast moving object's. I put this down to why I was shit at cricket.
Wish I could have a real reason for being shit at cricket other than just being shit. I was good at catching and could field in the slips but the moment I came into bat it all fell apart.
I have major dyslexia and it's cool to know that Jimmy is an amazing comic and also dyslexic. I totally relate to all this. It also gives you emotional problems that most people don't understand quite yet. But just think how frustrating it would be to write and talk and feel like you're making sense, but everyone who hears and reads what you say and write think it's done by a dumb person. It doesn't help to be good looking. A lot of people thought I was dumb for those two reasons.
Excellent click bait. I'm dyslexic. Like Jimmy said, I game the system, lean patterns and through reputation. But I read by seeing start and end of word and kinda make the middle up. So I guess I read shapes.
My sister is extremely dyslexic, it is not a inelligence impairment. She is incredibly smart. It prohibits the brain from performing basic sequencing, stuff that the dumbest people can do without thinking. It forces them to think differently to achieve.
Dyslexia is not just one form. It's different forms for different people. Before you make a insensentive response, think of those whose life dyslexia truly effects.
I followed your instructions A.first think of those who are affected (not "effects", reference Oxford English Dictionary). B. Make insensitive response. -Btw, it affects me every day; Thinking of others is hard when you can only think of yourself first (I.e. I think therefore I am. Ref by F. Decartes)
@@zanecook6292 It also AFFECTS two of my children everyday. Each in a different way and they don't read words backwards as you implied. And as a parent who is not dyslexic, it is very difficult to help them with homework or other things which they struggle with. Maybe you don't know how upsetting that can be. When your child is doing simple math equations and regardless of whether or not they can explain to you in words what they need to do, you see them struggle because what they are saying and seeing are two different things. As a parent this is pretty tough because they are upset and all you want to do is help them but really don't know how. So when someone makes a joke regarding this, again, think about everybody's whose life it directly AFFECTS. Thank you for understanding.

Yeah it's real and I think far more people suffer from it than it's reported. I don't think I have dyslexia but I do have this weird thing with left and right😅 From childhood to adulthood I get extremely confused. I have to put my hands up and make L's to differentiate the two, but I still get confused sometimes.
It’s real. I’ve struggled with it all my life. In my experience I have to memorize what the word looks like and how it sounds. If I don’t recognize a word, I try to sound it out and figure it out what it is. Spelling is really hard with words you don’t use often.
I dated a girl who had it. She would read something and say the words in the wrong order if she was reading fast. I wouldn't say it's a disability as she graduated college with honors but she had to read really slow and focus on each word as he did.
Reading words with a white background use to have my eyes all over the place... I think we can mitigate the effects of it with vitamins and minerals healthy diet, nootropics, coffee. I enjoy taking my time reading I ponder the s*** out of things
Of course it's real. I know a couple of people who have it and they both have an amazing ability to optimise systems and builds. It's the lateral thinking they have to use to counter their problems with their condition. Maybe it's the hurdles they have to jump all their life but they seem so clever at problem solving.

Yeah, Jimmy's right. No one ever says JR is really smart..hehe. Seriously, we are all as smart as we are, and other aspects of our being matter more. My issue with JR is when he spreads misinformation due to lack of serious research. Don't try to have all the answers for things outside your specialty.
I think its real but like most things that can't be calculated or exists on a spectrum makes me wonder the importance of knowing or affirming it. Ie- mental illness, autism, dyslexia. Most of my "mental illness" disappeared when I stopped acknowledging it or having doctors placate to me/it with no real answers or solution. Everybody suffers, choose wisely how you do.
Dyslexia is not the same as a mental illness. It is a brain defect. Saying that it is affirming means that anyone can go and say they are dyslexic. It’s not like that. I was diagnosed in the 1st grade because I literally was memorizing the books and couldn’t read. Then every year after that I was tested at school because they didn’t want to have to pay the funding for the special needs I would need. Which was more time on tests. That’s it. I didn’t get the answers I didn’t get any privileges. I actually got harassed by teachers, parents and students for how dumb I was. So it’s real. It does not go away it stays with you forever but you work with it and ways to over come it.
@@krystashafer3506 I wouldn't deny you that. I only use my perceived "mental illness" experience as an example. I'm not comparing them similarly. I'm certain if I were to seek professional advice I would be diagnosed with dyslexia. I just don't need the label. Glad to see you winning.
Dyslexia is the failure of the school system to teach children how to read and write in the way they understand. I heard someone say once (can’t remember who) that if your shit at maths people don’t say your numerically dyslexic. Therefore you’re really just shit at reading and writing. And that’s ok. It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I often struggle to read other people’s handwriting, especially if it’s a page full. I really struggle to understand when it’s cursive. I just plod along and accept it.
I work with a guy who has dyslexia on delivery- dyslexia is not one form its many an even tho it took time to learn an understand he has this i work with it unlike some who didn't wana work with him-ive found that he may do things his way but the end result is better just in a complicated way- i joke with him fixlexia as som issues folk wont bother with or do it later he will focus on it an fix it eventually- hes actually a nice guy an its about understanding rather than judging when some one has a form of dyslexia - ...Jimmy is a very smart guy . And clever to...
Most if not all kids have it these day . I have a kid that can't focus on the meaning of words gets too stuck on the letters when we speak. We really need pictures and maybe 2 or 3 goes at it
Dyslexia Is Real. It runs in the family on my dad's side. Its how we see things and the way our brain functions vs a normal brain. I hate numbers cause I'm constantly transposing them. Like ex. I see the number 45, say 54 and write it as 45. Go figure.
@dianamarchand7540 what country are you from? It could be the way your number system works. In Denmark for example we say the last number first, which has always confused me. For example 54 is "Four and half sixty" spoken out loud. It's unnatural asf but everyone else here seems to not care lol
I genuinely count dyslexia as my super power. Although very problematic as a child (diagnosed at 9 years old 1987), it's impact on my thought process resulting in an alternative approach to most scenarios has resulted in my greatest career achievements with more to come. 🙏
Dyslexia is when instead of processing reading and writing through the left side of the brain (the norm) you process it with the right side of your brain.
Ilyn did experience the world through unpretty eyes. That's why she loved the attention so much. As Norma Jean, no one would look at her when she walked in a room.
i couldn't believe when i checked spotify earlier today, Carr on Rogan!!! Dream come true. Serious Jimmy isn't as entertaining however. Carr banter with Russell Brand on the New Years UK gameshow Countdown is expert level comedy the whole time Brand was in Hollywood. Jimmy Carr and Larry David have hands down put out the most funny content in the world a lot of people have seen. My list is David than Carr, very close. Obviously Larry David doesn't do stand up now, he did, but c'mon, he's memed for being so fuckin funny.
Yes finally someone who I agree with....Larry David to me here in uk is a comedy genius an still folk here don't know who he is but they know Jimmy- gota applaud ya mate - great top 2 comedians ....🤝
@@jameshickey1294 The Next stand-up stand up after Carr for me has been Dave Attell for years. "What's a secret ability nobody knows about Dave Attell?" Larry King asks in a serious interview, after careful consideration Attell answers "Well Larry, I can smoke in the shower."
I sometimes wonder if I have a form of dyslexia or something similar, I quite often type words that are phonetically the same even though I know the difference, so I’m often having to go back and edit things I write. For example I might in a sentence write “here” instead of “hear” even though I know the difference or “their” instead of “there”, it’s odd… I don’t pick up on it normally until I’ve read back what I’ve written. Something I used to do a while ago which I don’t do anymore is miss out words in a sentence that I could have sworn I wrote.
Yep your dyslexic. This is how my brain works and I'm dyslexic, but I also have other forms of this occurring such as in speech. I'll say "compressed" instead of "composed" when I know the exact difference. I struggle hard with names 'casey' 'Cassie' etc
You can see it on a brain scan. Dyslexics recruit more area of their brains when they read. They have the capacity to read better but take longer to get there. They tend to be more creative and score higher on IQ tests. They just don’t conform so get shunned or cast out.
interesting id love to read more or have the paper for myself. my school board recently told a family member of mine that "there is no such thing as dyslexic children," and just regurgitated some junk about how they just designate all special kids for extra help. but this same school board has no issue sending kids home and demanding they consider or even threaten to forcibly medicate their child, for some sort of minuscule behavioral issue.
I was never properly diagnosed, but I think I'm dyslexic/dysgraphic. I write words with mixed up letters, but how I managed it is by spacing the letters so that I can correct the arrangement later, so my words look weird with different sizes and distance. I really hate reading, so I learned by joining discussions with my peers and getting the info that way. I always sleep in class and get slapped by the teachers. Despite those setbacks, I managed to pass my exams, usually after repeating them a few times, get into Medical school, because with medicine, you learn a lot more by doing instead of reading, and now I'm a licensed Physician. It's pretty much my only pathway in life because my handwriting is already ugly.
Eddie Murphy is the exception to the prime age for a comedian... Delirious and Raw are still the absolute high points for stand up (despite Jimmy being my favourite comedian).
That's the silent torture of having a mental disability, not everyone looks disabled. Same logic you just applied to attractiveness, you don't see the struggle so in you're mind it's not there.
I have it and it affects my daily life being in the construction field I flip the numbers from my measurements I have to write everything down or I flip the place of numbers in my head like I need a board at 23 and half I’ll cut it at 32 and half not to mention my writing and reading and horrific I can read very well but I don’t understand what I read! To those of us with this learning disability you sound very ignorant
Being dyslexic I see as a gift, sure things are hard with “normal” things in life, heck I can’t remember more than three things going to the shop I don’t even know the order of the alphabet the sequence is to long . But give me a pen and piece of paper and I’ll draw you a photorealistic comic character, animal, portrait, building what ever with nothing more than a BIC biro. I’ve worked with Disney designing toys designed your MD happy meal toys, product design for manufacturers of hoovers and power tools. I could tell you how to use photoshop back to front, illustrator indesign, maya what ever just don’t get me to code I have a hard enough time with the English language let along html or wherever it might be now. Ask me to write and email and that will be my hardest job of the day. I’m sure this post doesn’t make a lot of sense. I see ghost words. But to the people that aren’t dyslexic I can tell you now it’s a very real thing and to people that are don’t let it hold you back find your dream and go at 100%
okay well you say that while typing perfect english. my brother is 9 and is three years behind in reading and writing because he struggles so hard with it
he also said he "thought he was depressed" when he was younger, but then he realized it wasnt actual depression. well i think the same thing happend here. he simply didnt have it. that doesnt mean it doesnt happen to others. why would you downplay something like that?
why would he come to the conclusion he wasn't depressed? Maybe he took time to reflect and realised he was unhappy and not depressed? How is that down playing anything? He also explained what he believes differentiates depression from sadness and made some very good points.
My reading is bad. My spelling really sucks. I was born with dyslexic and had ADD pluse ADHD all the alphabet lol. But I like my job and make a good living.
I have a collection of symptoms that looks like an autistic disorder. One symptom is an auditory processing disorder that makes verbal messaging a challenge for me. On the other hand I proved to be immune to religious thought, and stopped all efforts to make me a christian as a child, and once past puberty I found TV consumer grooming of the 60s-70s insidious, so dropped TV from my life by age 17-18. That, plus a hyperactive tendency gave me an extra lifetime, considering how I didn't spend hours each day just sitting on my arse in front of the boob-tube. And I couldn't feel comfortable in an office environment either, so I've never had to struggle with my weight as I've been uber-active, on my feet and working with my hands at a variety of careers.
it's definitely real. the fact that he recognises that he has trouble reading and has to read very slowly, focusing on each letter is literally sign of dyslexia. The difference is he's smart enough to understand it as a limitation and develop personal systems to overcome it and not let it be a hindrance on his life.

It’s nothing to be ashamed of. I often struggle to read other people’s handwriting, especially if it’s a page full. I really struggle to understand when it’s cursive. I just plod along and accept it.
I work with a guy who has dyslexia on delivery- dyslexia is not one form its many an even tho it took time to learn an understand he has this i work with it unlike some who didn't wana work with him-ive found that he may do things his way but the end result is better just in a complicated way- i joke with him fixlexia as som issues folk wont bother with or do it later he will focus on it an fix it eventually- hes actually a nice guy an its about understanding rather than judging when some one has a form of dyslexia - ...Jimmy is a very smart guy .
And clever to...
Most if not all kids have it these day . I have a kid that can't focus on the meaning of words gets too stuck on the letters when we speak. We really need pictures and maybe 2 or 3 goes at it
Basically Jimmy is the human embodiment of chatgpt😂
Dyslexia Is Real. It runs in the family on my dad's side. Its how we see things and the way our brain functions vs a normal brain. I hate numbers cause I'm constantly transposing them. Like ex. I see the number 45, say 54 and write it as 45. Go figure.
Can you do that with money?
Dyslexia with numbers is not a thing.
@@Ocelot006yes it is dyscalculus and he struggles with his maths in a different way to people with out it
@@Ocelot006 coming from the person who hasn't lived with it for over 60 yrs.
@dianamarchand7540 what country are you from? It could be the way your number system works. In Denmark for example we say the last number first, which has always confused me. For example 54 is "Four and half sixty" spoken out loud. It's unnatural asf but everyone else here seems to not care lol
I genuinely count dyslexia as my super power. Although very problematic as a child (diagnosed at 9 years old 1987), it's impact on my thought process resulting in an alternative approach to most scenarios has resulted in my greatest career achievements with more to come. 🙏
@patmassey89 good for you, that's admirable.
That is a beautiful thought, I hope others with the disorder end up coming to a similar conclusion.
I think I understand dyslexia because after I got COVID it almost seemed like for a while letters and words were moving when I tried reading
From what I can tell, "whole word sight reading" education in school causes it and phonics oriented teaching does not
Yes. It’s one of many forms of different brain function compared to “the norm”.
Yo, I have Dyslexia my mother has Dyslexia my daughter has Dyslexia it's real it doesn't go away.
I read this as: "Oy, you don't have alexdysia. Your father doesn't have alexdysia, your son doesn't have alexdysia, it's fake, it does go away"
wow, I thought I was the only dumb person in the world. I just cant belive Jimmy Carr is in the same waggon 🤣🤣🤣
Dyslexia: You can’t hold your own head up.
Dyslexia is when instead of processing reading and writing through the left side of the brain (the norm) you process it with the right side of your brain.
Even now as he talks, he is trying to find the words to say.. and its hard for the words to come out... its still a struggle for me everyday!
Jamie, pull up bears with dyslexia
Ilyn did experience the world through unpretty eyes. That's why she loved the attention so much. As Norma Jean, no one would look at her when she walked in a room.
i couldn't believe when i checked spotify earlier today, Carr on Rogan!!! Dream come true. Serious Jimmy isn't as entertaining however. Carr banter with Russell Brand on the New Years UK gameshow Countdown is expert level comedy the whole time Brand was in Hollywood. Jimmy Carr and Larry David have hands down put out the most funny content in the world a lot of people have seen. My list is David than Carr, very close. Obviously Larry David doesn't do stand up now, he did, but c'mon, he's memed for being so fuckin funny.
Yes finally someone who I agree with....Larry David to me here in uk is a comedy genius an still folk here don't know who he is but they know Jimmy- gota applaud ya mate - great top 2 comedians ....🤝
@@jameshickey1294 The Next stand-up stand up after Carr for me has been Dave Attell for years. "What's a secret ability nobody knows about Dave Attell?" Larry King asks in a serious interview, after careful consideration Attell answers "Well Larry, I can smoke in the shower."
I sometimes wonder if I have a form of dyslexia or something similar, I quite often type words that are phonetically the same even though I know the difference, so I’m often having to go back and edit things I write. For example I might in a sentence write “here” instead of “hear” even though I know the difference or “their” instead of “there”, it’s odd… I don’t pick up on it normally until I’ve read back what I’ve written.
Something I used to do a while ago which I don’t do anymore is miss out words in a sentence that I could have sworn I wrote.
Yep your dyslexic. This is how my brain works and I'm dyslexic, but I also have other forms of this occurring such as in speech. I'll say "compressed" instead of "composed" when I know the exact difference. I struggle hard with names 'casey' 'Cassie' etc
I actually just read that back and realise I wrote "it" instead of "is" 🤦♂
i still mess up b and d the odd time, even on a keyboard, which is extra weird.
You can see it on a brain scan. Dyslexics recruit more area of their brains when they read. They have the capacity to read better but take longer to get there. They tend to be more creative and score higher on IQ tests. They just don’t conform so get shunned or cast out.
interesting id love to read more or have the paper for myself. my school board recently told a family member of mine that "there is no such thing as dyslexic children," and just regurgitated some junk about how they just designate all special kids for extra help. but this same school board has no issue sending kids home and demanding they consider or even threaten to forcibly medicate their child, for some sort of minuscule behavioral issue.
Yes dyslexia is an ability!
it's Norm's long lost english cousin
I keep getting my mucking fords wuddled. 😉
For me im super bad at spelling not so much reading but im good at mathematic
I was never properly diagnosed, but I think I'm dyslexic/dysgraphic.
I write words with mixed up letters, but how I managed it is by spacing the letters so that I can correct the arrangement later, so my words look weird with different sizes and distance.
I really hate reading, so I learned by joining discussions with my peers and getting the info that way.
I always sleep in class and get slapped by the teachers.
Despite those setbacks, I managed to pass my exams, usually after repeating them a few times, get into Medical school, because with medicine, you learn a lot more by doing instead of reading, and now I'm a licensed Physician.
It's pretty much my only pathway in life because my handwriting is already ugly.
Spelling looks good here
@@Marie-mg1gx using a keyboard is different than writing by hand to me. I can correct my mistakes before I click Enter.
@@DurianKing you passed f-cking medical school with dyslexia.
hats off to you.
Eddie Murphy is the exception to the prime age for a comedian... Delirious and Raw are still the absolute high points for stand up (despite Jimmy being my favourite comedian).
You dropped your ice cream ………..
That's the silent torture of having a mental disability, not everyone looks disabled. Same logic you just applied to attractiveness, you don't see the struggle so in you're mind it's not there.
I have a form of dyslexia.
This guest is lowkey hilarious..!!
It’s called being British.
He’s a famous U.K. comedian called Jimmy Carr. Watch his stuff you’ll love him.
Jimmy: Dyslexia is not real. Proceeds to describe it and the ways to treat it.
For a minute there I thought it was jimmy carr
It is
I have it and it affects my daily life being in the construction field I flip the numbers from my measurements I have to write everything down or I flip the place of numbers in my head like I need a board at 23 and half I’ll cut it at 32 and half not to mention my writing and reading and horrific I can read very well but I don’t understand what I read! To those of us with this learning disability you sound very ignorant
I don’t have it but know many that do
It's definitely real. I'm a dyslexic devil worshipper. I accidentally sold my soul to Santa last Christmas.
Hahaha you’re so funny and not an idiot at all
Saint Nick loves you! 🤗
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
I am dyslexic,
So wogalumphaddoo.
UA-cam is a hotbed of dyxlesia
If you play a game on hard your better at it than some one who plays it on easy
Of course it’s real 😂 good lord..
And he still didn't answer the question regarding dyslexia.
Real dyslexia not is
If dyslexia were real, then there would be a prevalence of it in languages that are phonetic. Bad spelling is all it is 😂
u got one braincell
Does anyone know Jimmy's last name??
as a dyslexic this made me laugh
as a dyslexic this made you lugah.
Ucfk no is’s not ealr lol
Did he just say that if you can’t take a blood test for it then it doesn’t exist??:) I love Jimmy but that’s the silliest thing I’ve ever heard:)
Lol when Jimmy said i speak very quickly because this, pointing at his face. His laugh on stage cracks me up too
I’m not dyslexic….I’m just dull as f
Being dyslexic I see as a gift, sure things are hard with “normal” things in life, heck I can’t remember more than three things going to the shop I don’t even know the order of the alphabet the sequence is to long . But give me a pen and piece of paper and I’ll draw you a photorealistic comic character, animal, portrait, building what ever with nothing more than a BIC biro. I’ve worked with Disney designing toys designed your MD happy meal toys, product design for manufacturers of hoovers and power tools.
I could tell you how to use photoshop back to front, illustrator indesign, maya what ever just don’t get me to code I have a hard enough time with the English language let along html or wherever it might be now.
Ask me to write and email and that will be my hardest job of the day.
I’m sure this post doesn’t make a lot of sense. I see ghost words. But to the people that aren’t dyslexic I can tell you now it’s a very real thing and to people that are don’t let it hold you back find your dream and go at 100%
okay well you say that while typing perfect english. my brother is 9 and is three years behind in reading and writing because he struggles so hard with it
Very good question and which prophet wrote evil instead of live for fuck sakes?!?❤ 0:31
05:53hrs 0:45
I'm 31 0:53
so he basically said Dyslexia is real but just found a ways coping with it
That's what I did. It's real; he's just smart enough to find ways around it. There might be varying degrees of severity as well.
Jimmy ,likr ypu more knowing your in the club
I’ve have all that shit they’re talking about 😑
I htkin tis elar.
SEY
Sex*
he also said he "thought he was depressed" when he was younger, but then he realized it wasnt actual depression. well i think the same thing happend here. he simply didnt have it. that doesnt mean it doesnt happen to others. why would you downplay something like that?
why would he come to the conclusion he wasn't depressed? Maybe he took time to reflect and realised he was unhappy and not depressed? How is that down playing anything? He also explained what he believes differentiates depression from sadness and made some very good points.
nobody listens to anonymous accounts @@kameff_
Jimmy sure does look very thin these days.
Cos he has to run every time a pikey sees him.
👍
My reading is bad. My spelling really sucks. I was born with dyslexic and had ADD pluse ADHD all the alphabet lol. But I like my job and make a good living.
Someone with nuanced ideas and approaches falls for the typical fallacy of throwing the baby out with the planet.

I have a collection of symptoms that looks like an autistic disorder. One symptom is an auditory processing disorder that makes verbal messaging a challenge for me.
On the other hand I proved to be immune to religious thought, and stopped all efforts to make me a christian as a child, and once past puberty I found TV consumer grooming of the 60s-70s insidious, so dropped TV from my life by age 17-18.
That, plus a hyperactive tendency gave me an extra lifetime, considering how I didn't spend hours each day just sitting on my arse in front of the boob-tube. And I couldn't feel comfortable in an office environment either, so I've never had to struggle with my weight as I've been uber-active, on my feet and working with my hands at a variety of careers.
