ikr. its annoying watching comedians stop and try to attack the hecklers. both are at wrong. but mainly the comedian, theyre wasting time trying to fool and shame rude people on every other respectful member of the audience's time.
@@mitchpol1432 bill burr is really good at doing it and it being funny. Chappelle is good at making jokes about hecklers too, but most i can agree aren't funny when they do it.
Also there aren´t as many people shouting and interrupting as today. Notice that he´s talking about self interessted liberal people, something that fits perfectly in our time
Actually, it was more of a living license expiration with a direct causation leading to the problems of self-cardiac assaults.. ..in other words, he died because he was an old fuck and his ticker stopped working.
You're all wrong ... This material was about now , All of Carlins material predicted the future. George was neither a Republican or a Democrat, He hated them both equally. However , to your comment I say the material would be the same because the material is about now back then.
That is (TRUTH) not really a far fetched line. In order for something to be considered funny there has to be a modicum of truth to it in order to generate enough question for it to become an incongruous quality causing amusement... ;)
I mean technically but what makes the planet special is that it has life and we've made it so that in a couple of hundred years the planet is going to be a lifeless rock in a universe of lifeless rocks
Actually, it is a script. He wrote it and memorized it, so it comes off as off the cuff. Rodney Dangerfield had the same way of writing his jokes and memorizing them; he had hundreds of jokes memorized so everything rolled off his tongue and it did sound spontaneous. It was all part of the act.
Yeah. And Carlin always used his minor tours to practice new jokes and see how people reacted to them so when he had the big events, everything would be the best he can do. That's not talent alone, but hard fucking work. That's how the perfect shit cames out.
It's a script. You can find literally the same words in two completely videos. I wish it wasn't a script. But he is a professional. And he had found the jokes that are funny - and put them together in the best possible form just when he became old. Yes, the standup guys become funny once they figure out the perfect script with their tested jokes they find throughout years by telling them to an audience. You don't see his fails and misery he had to go through to get to this level.
I started watching him as a teen at the turn of the century. I go to these videos whenever I feel down. George always makes me feel better. I miss the hell out of him. I wish he was immortal or something so we could have his wisdom forever.
It's like when you read about Greek philosophers' words that will always apply to the time when you read them. His words will live on forever and people will always think he could see the future. If more people watched him growing up they might have better views of everything. Maybe we could start a religion about him...it doesn't even sound like a crazy idea.
Why? It's a fucking bad wish and a fucking joke stop taking everything he says literally jesus y'all are exactly like the people he hated, nit a drop of critical thinking.
His bit about entropy and things breaking down is almost prophetic. We have really seen that which George described come true in the last couple years. He would have been thrilled to see all the riots, fires, plague, insurrection and back biting. He would have loved it.
It’s not prophetic, it’s been happening since the dawn of time. He’s just awake to see it. People like you are what he’s talking about, you only notice it when it happens to you
Even the fbi admitted what happened on Jan 6th was not an insurrection you fucking idiot. Any way back when he gave this speech they had columbine, virginia tech and various other mass shootings, 9/11, a real recession where people lost their homes and ended up homeless, the never ending war in the middle east, swine flu, don't forgot the complete crash in the stock market. He was not "ahead of his time". This comment makes you look fucking ignorant. He simply had self awareness.
@@mr.gilbert2790 I was just about to say that. Apparently it's not common knowledge that history generally repeats itself to some degree. I knew stuff like this was going to happen after learning history in my teenage years. And like George I was also looking forward to the stupidity of it.

The bats, snakes, and fleas can bite the dust, for all I care. :D I mean, who, honestly, likes fleas?)
I am grateful to the friend who introduced me to George Carlin in 1999. George's humor, his styles and his "rational frustrations" towards our American predicaments and paradoxes will always be welcoming islands of sanity for generations to come.
Commenting obscure references no one understands in an attempt to sound clever makes you sound pretentious and also makes people want to sock you in your big mouth.
This man was truly a genius. To think that he experienced and lived during most of the most important events of the 20th century and he was able to grasp and understand the social patterns and behaviors so well to predict with great accuracy what was about to happen in the following years. This man warned the American people long ago. Magnificent intellect!!
+juliolp95 A prime example of people who always think that the world is going to end due to war (Or that God will come, either or) because they think the world is bad and have a delusion that it used to be any better.
He was an intellectual provocateur. He was anything but stupid. His marketing skills are illustrated by the simple fact that years after he died, we are here on this site, watching and discussing him.
When I heard they recently found fungi that could break down plastic it made me think about what George said. Absolute legend. The new epoch of earth plus plastic has begun.
@@yondoodleYup. It's a cliché, but it's true. Life always finds a way. The last Tasmanian wolf/tiger died in human captivity in like 1928, I think it was, but there have been sightings of the creature for decades now. Every single year. The most recent ones with pictures that're somewhat blurry due to distance.

Calvin Bottoms people believe this shit is new...it’s been going on for decades. Difference is, Trump makes it all interesting. He’s like the Carlin of the presidency.
@@keelsmac01 Yeah, I was never interested in politics until Trump started taking a shit all over America. George would have hated what this country became after Obama left. Shit, even when Obama was in office, the country was divided and he was killing innocent civilians "accidentally".
When this first aired, I thought this was the most important, insightful and mind-opening 10 minutes I've ever seen. Matter of fact, this entire HBO special in NYC literally changed my way of life, my way of thinking and perceiving and Entrophy became a whole new understanding for me. He was a prophet. A genius. 2020 proved it and we are just beginning. As George would say, "Lets GO!"
"I wanna see stock market drop 2,000 points in a single day" Well that was quite a prediction...Carlin would've had the time of his life if he was alive right now.
***** But to see this... I guess being immortal takes away some of the punch of being part of this movement of self-righteous half-wits, but, still. We would've seen some of his darkest, angriest stuff yet.
"I wanna see thousands of people in the street killing policemen" "I wanna know the stock market dropped 2,000 points in one day" "sirens, flames, smoke, bodies, graves being filled" 2020: i got you fam
The Joker doesn't compare. Joker is just a clown who's sole purpose is to make Batman look good. George Carlin is a fucking phenomenon. Even if that stupid character existed, he wouldn't last 5 minutes with George.
+Cris Duta I going to talk about the Dark Knight The Joker is an agent of chaos, he believe that it takes is just one bad day and this is what he tries to prove to Batman. The Joker is an unstoppable force while Batman is an immovable object. The Jokers corrupts people and shows while batman is incorruptible.
We have frequent floods in my country, every few years I see people on TV crying "It is terrible, our house is full of water for the 5th time. Since we live here" and I always wonder why are they staying in fucking flooding zone.
+Nazael Rahl What amazes me even more is that some countries build nuclear reactors on places where earthquakes happen on a regular basis (note: Fukushima). We all know that shit can go incredibly wrong, but can be a safe source of energy when every safety rule and common sense are followed. Yet they build it near a fissure between two tectonic plates. I've seen Honey Boo Boo make more sense than that descision.
Look up on google----global truth project----click The Present. It answers all of life’s biggest questions and can turn this world right side up from the beginning of it. Nothing is more important than reading it.
@@charlesdavis7142 Good book, but all you need to do is to live in alignment with Nature like your ancestors did before the appearance of the filthy desert cult called Christianity
The stuff he listed after 2:30 has all basically happened. Welcome to George's future. It's even more dystopian than he predicted. But, disturbingly, not by much. RIP you mad genius ♥️
What about Richard Pryor ? Carlin from the first time i heard his voice i was hooked lol he's one of the best at least top 3. Im jst sayin Pryor and Dave Chappelle even Kat Williams all were hysterical!!!
Andrew Daguanno I think Carlin was the best. Such an intelligent man. A master of the English language. Makes you laugh and think at the same time. But for simply telling jokes, Rodney Dangerfield gets my vote. I laugh till it hurts when I watch his appearances on the Tonight show with Johnny.
And as things fell apart Nobody paid much attention - Talking heads This is from the Book American Psycho and it was just something that I found interesting.
Good for humanity? Nah, not by a long shot unless you're as impactful as religions(aka impossibly become the benevolent dictator/charming leader of all mankind). Good for actually being happy in life for yourself? Yep. Once you give up in humanity, you no longer are overly surprised, sad, or shocked about bad news, beheadings, genocides, bombings, not giving a fuck about the environment, drug wars, crime rates. Carlin's pretty realist-nihilistic, but he ain't suicidal. He thinks life is one big joke for his show.
Bruh the news media were like "write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!" when George Carlin spoke because he is the quintessential American without any of the masks or personas or BULLSHIT in this country. This man spoke the truth.
He's actually making social commentary about how we enjoy drama on TV and then we try to say that we're decent and good human beings... while we love watching chaos on TV
Your not alone George! I love entropy myself. Watching things fall apart gives me great joy. In fact I live on the coast and I love it when a hurricane hits so I can see the destruction.
This man is now a new comedy act that I am glad to have found this year. My goddess of Mother Earth this man is off the rails humorous. So thank god for George Carlin being here while he was to make us laugh but tell us the truth that the media would never dare say. Haha, Anyways enjoy and have a nice day.
Carlin for Messiah, truth burns bright and illuminates the dark, the World has dimmed since you left Us, RIP, You are missed George, but your words live on at least through one person who quotes you daily, me, and I know millions of others do too, touched by the wisdom of Our great thinker, present day Mark Twain. In these times of turmoil your voice is our voice and gives comfort through laughter, reassuring that all is O.K. if you can laugh about it.
This is such a wild satirical take (that unfortunately came true) on how chaotic we are on the entropy scale - especially how we make more of a spectacle of it than taking any material action.
George Carlin's comedic brilliance was his brute honesty about how he viewed the world. And more often than not, his worldview was correct: religion is blatant brainwashing,people are stupid, America sucks,and laughter is our way back. He is sorely missed by so many. His word IS gospel, in my humble opinion.
George is obviously doing it for comedic effect, but some people here actually seem to think he has a _scientific_ point, so it might be worth looking at some actual figures. It's not just "over 90%" of species that have become extinct; it's over 99%. But that was over a period of 4 billion years. What matters is the _rate_ of extinction, and right now that is about 5000 times higher than it would be without human influence. That means that species are disappearing (much) faster than new species are appearing. [note that the definition of "species" is a bit fuzzy, so it's impossible to have exact values, but it's generally agreed by biologists and palaeontologists that human activity is responsible for somewhere between 99.999% and 99.9999% of current extinctions - i.e., between a 1000x and a 10000x increase in the background extinction rate] "Not meddling with nature" isn't really an option. First, because we are part of nature, so we'd have to stop meddling with ourselves (insert joke about wanking). Second, because we've _already_ meddled with nature (both human nature and wild nature) to a point where it won't recover without _more_ meddling. It will find another balance (with much less biodiversity, etc.), but if we want to slow down the loss of species, we need to actually _fix_ some of our past mistakes, it's not enough to avoid making new ones. Once the truck is rolling downhill, taking your foot off the throttle isn't enough. Ultimately, "save the [insert species here]" isn't about those species; it's about ourselves. We want to preserve species that _we_ like, for our sake (because we like to look at them - think pandas - or because they are useful to us - think bees). And that is independent from whether they're going extinct because of human interference (>99.999% chance) or just as part of the normal "background extinction" rate (
Thoughtful as always... You did your research. Though, he did say "way over 90%" and he knows of complex phenomena like Solar Flare yet he's a dropout. I don't think he just sprout words without knowing their backstory. What I'm implying is that he got this knowledge from reading books. Observe: in his "Stuff" bit one of the final group of stuff he mentioned that ought to be taken outdoors(when sleeping outdoors) is a book. Could be any book but the guy was a critical thinker and considering the content of his talks, I bet some of these books were scientific. On another note. I've seen you before here, you're that ReqForCmnt guy! Lemme guess that RFC is about a security bit-flag in TCP/IP packet? ;) I'm on mobile (hence can't +1) but I remember looking that particular RFC up. Interesting to notice more than one shared interest with random people.
There have been many great cataclysms before, they usually drastically changed the environment often killing most life on the surface of the Earth, yet life prevailed. We, humans, although to a much lesser extent, are doing the same thing. Changing the environment and everything that can't adapt dies off. (sounds like natural selection, doesn't it?) Doesn't mean the planet or life on it is under any serious threat of extinction.
A correction here: One single event in history, let's say getting hit by an asteroid, 65 million years ago, when the ancestors of all mammals -that includes our grans- were just an unimportant weak and tiny creatures, caused planet earth losing 75% of all land species according to some estimation. Then species flourished again once the conditions relatively calmed down/stabilized -or simply "changed"- after the impact. That is to say, "species are dying out in a greater rate today because of humans" does not make any sense; what is called here as "rate" is a selective average number created by ratio maths; same as using "the number of species" as a measurement of biological success is just an arbitrary perspective created by our quantitative minds... "Life", as a domain, does not get better or worse from the numbers; you can have millions of delicate species that can be easily wiped out or you can have a handful of robust species -like single celled organisms- that can stand against various major changes/cycles. What is the "meaning" of life in here? We need to go, that's for sure. Instead of trying to "protect" things on this planet, we need to improve what already makes us distinctive and unique from the rest of the existence: Artificiality. We need to create human made "death-stars" if you like in outer space and really "protect" our species from random catastrophes, should not interfere biosphere and should not be interfered by many possible future surprises. This is why our ancestors created the culture of safe cities, houses, controlled food production and habitat: We did not like to be food for wild animals in our sleeps, we did not like heat, wind or cold, simply did not like anything "nature" throw at us: We like to be in charge, we like to observe and analyse "the nature" from a safe distance and blubber about it, we don't like to be subjects to its disasters. So, as Carlin suggests, "pack your shit" and let's get the hell out of this petri dish called "earth". Otherwise we will be destroyed by the changing conditions, one way or another, if not today definitely tomorrow.
George paid his dues and Payed attention. He was around in the 60s until he died. Watch is evolution in comedy. He was awake telling truths. I enjoy him still.
It's funny to read this comment, you had no idea how crazy things were gonna get, and in four years time somebody will probably read this comment and think the same exact thong... Before they're engulfed in a blaze of nuclear light.
I think this aged so well. As crooked as it sounds, for whatever reason, there's something in most of us that enjoys chaos and drama to a degree. Some more than others. I dont particularly like seeing people get hurt or killed but there's still something exciting about witnessing something chaotic like that, such as a massive brawl, an explosion or a gunfight, for example. Often times it's just hard for us to want to look away. It's just one of those things that humans instinctively gravitate to. We can't help but enjoy aspects of it. George just straight up admits to it lol.
I enjoy chaos and drama, of course not in my backyard. I’d be called horrible names and cancelled if I say it out loud todays, but if you notice, videos about disasters, mass shootings, and people killing each others always have massive views. It’s human nature, and George didn’t mind saying it like it is.
its sort of the same reason why we enjoy horror movies and anime where someone's struggling through a lot. because, its fun to watch. its a cool story.. when it isn't happening to you that is. you can't deny that it is interesting, because it is. its something out of the ordinary. its danger. its fun when you get put in danger and get saved by chance. its not so fun however, when you face the consequences.

Save those fleas

I am grateful to the friend who introduced me to George Carlin in 1999. George's humor, his styles and his "rational frustrations" towards our American predicaments and paradoxes will always be welcoming islands of sanity for generations to come.
"I wanna see the Dow drop 2000 points"
He predicted this 😂
well he didn't predict it would happen every fucking day :)))))
GEXGE11 he did imply he’d love it though
If he were alive today, he'd be cheering every milestone the virus makes on humanity.

George Carlin was my favourite philosopher.
he was more of a realist
JimmY
a skeptic also
he wasnt a philosofa or realist or skeptic -he was just another stupid jokester.
He was an intellectual provocateur. He was anything but stupid.
His marketing skills are illustrated by the simple fact that years after he died, we are here on this site, watching and discussing him.

@Gevunn He's right tho
@@keelsmac01 Yeah, I was never interested in politics until Trump started taking a shit all over America.
George would have hated what this country became after Obama left. Shit, even when Obama was in office, the country was divided and he was killing innocent civilians "accidentally".
When this first aired, I thought this was the most important, insightful and mind-opening 10 minutes I've ever seen. Matter of fact, this entire HBO special in NYC literally changed my way of life, my way of thinking and perceiving and Entrophy became a whole new understanding for me. He was a prophet. A genius. 2020 proved it and we are just beginning.
As George would say, "Lets GO!"
Totally agree he was a Prophet. Seriously doubt we’ll see the bible people add him to their “new testament”.
"I wanna see stock market drop 2,000 points in a single day"
Well that was quite a prediction...Carlin would've had the time of his life if he was alive right now.
This aged like a fine barrel of whiskey
FUCK PAKISTAN....
Thats not a prediction dummy
That would of been the equivalent of an approx 60% decline back when this skit was done in 1992 if comparing to the dow Jones.
if i could wish immortality onto one person i'd have given it to George. just THINK of the material he could've had if he'd lived a few more years
He might've wished for death if he saw this shit, the poor guy.

*****
But to see this... I guess being immortal takes away some of the punch of being part of this movement of self-righteous half-wits, but, still. We would've seen some of his darkest, angriest stuff yet.
RockLegend2 yep
He saw it coming and clocked out at the right time. He was a prophet and saw everything as it really is. I miss him.

The stuff he listed after 2:30 has all basically happened. Welcome to George's future. It's even more dystopian than he predicted. But, disturbingly, not by much. RIP you mad genius ♥️

What about Richard Pryor ? Carlin from the first time i heard his voice i was hooked lol he's one of the best at least top 3. Im jst sayin Pryor and Dave Chappelle even Kat Williams all were hysterical!!!
Andrew Daguanno I think Carlin was the best. Such an intelligent man. A master of the English language. Makes you laugh and think at the same time. But for simply telling jokes, Rodney Dangerfield gets my vote. I laugh till it hurts when I watch his appearances on the Tonight show with Johnny.
I was wondering today if it's a good thing to be cynical and desensitized. Carlin does not help my case at all.
And as things fell apart
Nobody paid much attention

This is from the Book American Psycho and it was just something that I found interesting.
Good for humanity? Nah, not by a long shot unless you're as impactful as religions(aka impossibly become the benevolent dictator/charming leader of all mankind). Good for actually being happy in life for yourself? Yep. Once you give up in humanity, you no longer are overly surprised, sad, or shocked about bad news, beheadings, genocides, bombings, not giving a fuck about the environment, drug wars, crime rates. Carlin's pretty realist-nihilistic, but he ain't suicidal. He thinks life is one big joke for his show.
The more I watch George, the more I realize that this shitthole world is just going to get shittier and that’s Okay.

Yep that's okay

@Dalapetus Peters indeed, its hard to laugh once you get what he's saying. the part about how bad news sell is really brilliant imo.
Bruh the news media were like "write that down, WRITE THAT DOWN!" when George Carlin spoke because he is the quintessential American without any of the masks or personas or BULLSHIT in this country. This man spoke the truth.
his right he said the opposite to what he real means he telling everyone one what the powers that be wont/plan/think
He was always right the entire time
RIP George Carlin. You contributed to entropy well!
Give him a purple jacket and green hair and you’ve just found the Joker 🃏 😂
Just like this guy.. He loves chaos as well.

He is one of the greatest public speakers, the way he never slows down is so impressive he was a great writer and was great and performing it

rip to one of the greatest of all time
This is such a wild satirical take (that unfortunately came true) on how chaotic we are on the entropy scale - especially how we make more of a spectacle of it than taking any material action.
One of the greatest monologue ever written.
2:40 replace kmart with Walmart and you're spot on.
Yep it's kind of terrifying how accurate he is.
And the fact that George Carlin is a stand-up comedian telling jokes on stage eludes people to this date.
SJW'S Would have gotten so butthurt lmao
I see I'm not the only one recalling this bit some 30 years later just as the shit is about to hit the fan. You were right George.
George Carlin's comedic brilliance was his brute honesty about how he viewed the world. And more often than not, his worldview was correct: religion is blatant brainwashing,people are stupid, America sucks,and laughter is our way back. He is sorely missed by so many. His word IS gospel, in my humble opinion.
George is obviously doing it for comedic effect, but some people here actually seem to think he has a _scientific_ point, so it might be worth looking at some actual figures. It's not just "over 90%" of species that have become extinct; it's over 99%. But that was over a period of 4 billion years. What matters is the _rate_ of extinction, and right now that is about 5000 times higher than it would be without human influence. That means that species are disappearing (much) faster than new species are appearing.
[note that the definition of "species" is a bit fuzzy, so it's impossible to have exact values, but it's generally agreed by biologists and palaeontologists that human activity is responsible for somewhere between 99.999% and 99.9999% of current extinctions - i.e., between a 1000x and a 10000x increase in the background extinction rate]
"Not meddling with nature" isn't really an option. First, because we are part of nature, so we'd have to stop meddling with ourselves (insert joke about wanking). Second, because we've _already_ meddled with nature (both human nature and wild nature) to a point where it won't recover without _more_ meddling. It will find another balance (with much less biodiversity, etc.), but if we want to slow down the loss of species, we need to actually _fix_ some of our past mistakes, it's not enough to avoid making new ones. Once the truck is rolling downhill, taking your foot off the throttle isn't enough.
Ultimately, "save the [insert species here]" isn't about those species; it's about ourselves. We want to preserve species that _we_ like, for our sake (because we like to look at them - think pandas - or because they are useful to us - think bees). And that is independent from whether they're going extinct because of human interference (>99.999% chance) or just as part of the normal "background extinction" rate (
Thoughtful as always... You did your research.
Though, he did say "way over 90%" and he knows of complex phenomena like Solar Flare yet he's a dropout. I don't think he just sprout words without knowing their backstory. What I'm implying is that he got this knowledge from reading books. Observe: in his "Stuff" bit one of the final group of stuff he mentioned that ought to be taken outdoors(when sleeping outdoors) is a book. Could be any book but the guy was a critical thinker and considering the content of his talks, I bet some of these books were scientific.
On another note. I've seen you before here, you're that ReqForCmnt guy! Lemme guess that RFC is about a security bit-flag in TCP/IP packet? ;) I'm on mobile (hence can't +1) but I remember looking that particular RFC up.
Interesting to notice more than one shared interest with random people.
There have been many great cataclysms before, they usually drastically changed the environment often killing most life on the surface of the Earth, yet life prevailed.
We, humans, although to a much lesser extent, are doing the same thing. Changing the environment and everything that can't adapt dies off.
(sounds like natural selection, doesn't it?)
Doesn't mean the planet or life on it is under any serious threat of extinction.
Spot on! Excelente analysis.
RFC3514 He points that out. That's why he says the people are fucked. He is talking from the planet's perspective.
A correction here: One single event in history, let's say getting hit by an asteroid, 65 million years ago, when the ancestors of all mammals -that includes our grans- were just an unimportant weak and tiny creatures, caused planet earth losing 75% of all land species according to some estimation.
Then species flourished again once the conditions relatively calmed down/stabilized -or simply "changed"- after the impact. That is to say, "species are dying out in a greater rate today because of humans" does not make any sense; what is called here as "rate" is a selective average number created by ratio maths; same as using "the number of species" as a measurement of biological success is just an arbitrary perspective created by our quantitative minds... "Life", as a domain, does not get better or worse from the numbers; you can have millions of delicate species that can be easily wiped out or you can have a handful of robust species -like single celled organisms- that can stand against various major changes/cycles. What is the "meaning" of life in here?
We need to go, that's for sure. Instead of trying to "protect" things on this planet, we need to improve what already makes us distinctive and unique from the rest of the existence: Artificiality. We need to create human made "death-stars" if you like in outer space and really "protect" our species from random catastrophes, should not interfere biosphere and should not be interfered by many possible future surprises. This is why our ancestors created the culture of safe cities, houses, controlled food production and habitat: We did not like to be food for wild animals in our sleeps, we did not like heat, wind or cold, simply did not like anything "nature" throw at us: We like to be in charge, we like to observe and analyse "the nature" from a safe distance and blubber about it, we don't like to be subjects to its disasters.
So, as Carlin suggests, "pack your shit" and let's get the hell out of this petri dish called "earth". Otherwise we will be destroyed by the changing conditions, one way or another, if not today definitely tomorrow.
I love how George can spread truth and laughter at the same time :D
George would have loved 2020😂
He would have been binge watching with a huge bowl of popcorn.

if only you were here, george.
I think this aged so well. As crooked as it sounds, for whatever reason, there's something in most of us that enjoys chaos and drama to a degree. Some more than others. I dont particularly like seeing people get hurt or killed but there's still something exciting about witnessing something chaotic like that, such as a massive brawl, an explosion or a gunfight, for example. Often times it's just hard for us to want to look away. It's just one of those things that humans instinctively gravitate to. We can't help but enjoy aspects of it. George just straight up admits to it lol.
I enjoy chaos and drama, of course not in my backyard. I’d be called horrible names and cancelled if I say it out loud todays, but if you notice, videos about disasters, mass shootings, and people killing each others always have massive views. It’s human nature, and George didn’t mind saying it like it is.
its sort of the same reason why we enjoy horror movies and anime where someone's struggling through a lot. because, its fun to watch. its a cool story.. when it isn't happening to you that is. you can't deny that it is interesting, because it is. its something out of the ordinary. its danger. its fun when you get put in danger and get saved by chance. its not so fun however, when you face the consequences.
