What's amazing is how dumb Oprah is next to Cormac

I did a little writing and I always figured the subconscious did the writing cuz the next day when I reread the text I previously wrote, I was reading it for the first time and very curious to know what happened next...

That toothpaste story remained me of an old Blondie comic in the newspaper, when Dagwood in front of the bathroom sink yells to Blondie, were out of toothpaste, and she yells back, there's always a squeeze or 2 left in the tube, and he says to himself, yeah but I've been trying to get those the last few days.

1:20 The 'Subconscious' in the title is incorrect. Everyone, including the late Mr.McCarthy, knew there can be no such thing... it is purely the 'unconscious'.

friendly reminder that oprah hangs out with human traffickers.

The way he talks about the subconscious is like that SpongeBob episode where he dumps everything for fine dining. 😂 The office of cubicle worker spongebobs frantically searching through files for his name. 😂

I think Oprah’s sheer presence liberated McCarthy in this interview. Her beauty humility and gentle humour, encouraging him to expand. So for those critics saying ‘ I wish it was c X…’ interviewing, don’t underestimate her presence for drawing him out.

Oprah does not understand why someone wouldn't care about money. It just doesn't compute in her brain.

What a bum

This conversation reminds me of a story the singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt used to tell. He said that he had a bad flu and he took some narcotic cough syrup and went to sleep. In the middle of the night he had a very lucid dream of being onstage singing a song. In the dream he heard the words, the melody and all and he woke up and turned on the lamp and scratched the words down and went back to sleep. In the morning he woke up and still remembered the melody and went and played the complete song to Guy and Susanna Clark-his best friends. He didn’t have to change anything the song stayed just like he’d dreamt it. The song was “If I Needed You”, a beautiful, beautiful song. Another example is Tom Petty spoke of sitting in his little home recording studio one day messing around and he started playing some chords and hit record and in real time his song “Wildflowers” just came out of him onto the tape. He didn’t “write” or “craft” the song, it just came out of him without him thinking about what he was singing. He said for a week or two afterward he kept listening the song over and over certain that it couldn’t be any good or that there must be something wrong with it but it was in fact almost perfect just the way it came out. And that ended up being one of the best songs from a guy who wrote a pile of great songs. So what Cormac is talking about here is really true…our subconscious can do amazing things and it really is a complete mystery how it works. Where does it come from? What the hell even is it?

Oprah is straight out attacking him. Wtf?

But she stood on the heads of those little peoples....😂

Was Oprah just roaring him the whole time?

Every time I disparage the intelligence of the interviewer ability to create a narrative. It’s removed

Cormac is a fine writer but he's misusing subconscious. What he means is unconscious, which is accessible to conscious mind, whereas the unconscious is not. For example, you can't recall a word, and then ten minutes later you do, because it was available in the subconscious. Content in the unconscious is never accessible except perhaps in dreams in a symbolic form. Childhood traumas deeply repressed are not available, thus the difficulty faced by therapists when treating trouble patients.

She's the worst

To be fair, Oprah only said “poor” five times in this 4 and a half minute long video. And the subtle look of contempt on her entitled face when she questioned his writing about being exclusively from the perspective of men. Nothing more important than that…

Gifted writer, on par with Shakespeare IMHO, who also was poor in his early writing career. Both offered great insights and observations of the human condition. I hope the passage of time brings him greater recognition and appreciation. He deserves that.

I read The Road which I enjoyed. I haven't read any of his other books, but he has his own unique style of writing.

Oprah: “…Yeah…”

Amazing how many of these ideas are in The Passenger/Stella Maris. Almost verbatim. Goes to show how long he’s been asking these questions, only to find more questions. Rest in peace, Cormac.

So your a white misogamist basically? Let’s talk about how poor you were since I write books for my audience because I’m Oprah !!!! …. Where the hell does a woman fit into a story like the Road , or the judge finds a woman to settle down with & change his ways & becomes a father . She can’t come close to his orbit …

I’m surprised He’s even talking to Oprah on literature & life … toothpaste? Is that the best she can come up with ?

Great writer, but a tough interview. I saw him on Lawrence Krauss's podcast, and it was like pulling teeth. But I reiterate, great writer.

only a true gentleman would counter the offensive and uncultured stupidity displayed by the garland-destroying monkey on stage left and her incessant and unrelenting turdwave feminasal anal banality with his soft spoken answers and that FU posture.

I don’t see how the unconscious could be older than language, since language is, to my mind, essentially what defines us as Subjects. But of course, the two are _intimately_ related (parapraxis/slips, jokes, stutters, the signifying chain, etc).

The sunconscious thinks with symbols and communicates with them too.

This is so much better than the new gt500

THE 13 14 SUPER SNAKES WILL BE BIG BUCKS BUT I ALSO THINK THE 07 BEING THE FIRST YEAR GT500 THAT CAME BACK ALSO WILL BE VERY VALUABLE AND MY 07 427 EDITION CONVERTIBLE SUPER SNAKE WILL BE A VERY VALUABLE CAR AND IT'S SIGNED BY SHELBY HIMSELF BUT MY GRABBER BLUE KENNY BELL COUPE SUPER SNAKE ISN'T SIGNED BY SHELBY BUT MY 08 GT500 HAS SHELBYS SIGNATURE TWICE.

Oprah is so stupid, so vapid.

We miss you so much, Mr McCarthy

She has no idea even the language she’s lacking

Oprah ruined this Oprah interview

thats intense, man

‘That brain thing’ Yes Oprah. The brain thing. 😒

Did Oprah just fail to understand the difference between the subconscious and GaWd?

Imagine wasting such a fantastic interview opportunity on frigging Oprah. America 🤦‍♂️

Wtf this woman is so annoying. Why was she so famous?

The way he described the subconscious is my exact thought process when I’ve tripped on mushrooms lol

Intellectuals should stay away from the big O.

After reading a lot of books about the lives of authors and musicians, I think Cormac's fascination with the subconscious and his implicit trust in its guiding direction is spot on. Nearly every author of some renown has said they have absolutely no idea where their stories come from, absent any real life experience or research that might serve as the basis for their novel. But for completely fictional works it really does seem like these ideas just suddenly hit them and they're never at a complete loss for where to take them. From beginning to end their subconscious is producing the material and they feel like scribes writing down words and ideas that don't entirely feel like they're their own thoughts. It's as if they're a medium for something else. Musicians seem to be the same way. Keith Richards, in his autobiography "Life" said something about how when he's writing his guitar riffs, it's almost as if they're emerging from some subconscious ether, and he just has to be determined enough to keep chasing this thing that he knows already exists somewhere else, but he has to bring it into existence here. Michael Jackson had the same spooky experience writing his music. It just comes from someplace beyond their own ability to think or feel, as if they've been bestowed with a gift from the beyond.

Cormorant McCarthy has a car under his chair.

👄 👅 👄 👅 get this man a water.

She was way over her head talking to an author of his weight.

Things that seem difficult for mundane people just seem so easy for those with true capability. He talks about writing as if it were making a sandwich. Which, to him, it probably was.

The subconscious endures. As well ask men what they think of stone.

Bro! He’s smart AF

“I was living in a shack in Tennessee and I ran out of tooth paste” haha classic

I’m reading The Road right now, it’s an incredible book I can’t put it down. His writing style is absolutely reminiscent of Ernest Hemingway’s minimalist, direct writing style with short simple sentences and to the point story telling. I’ll most likely be reading everything he wrote.
