- Опубликовано: 27 июл 2024
- George Carlin (May 12, 1937 - June 22, 2008) was an American stand-up comedian, actor, author, and social critic. He was known for his black comedy and reflections on politics, the English language, psychology, religion, and various taboo subjects. Widely regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comics of all time, Carlin was dubbed to be "the dean of counterculture comedians".

@Crush Worthy Why are you being a hateful shitter? I'm guessing it's because you believe in god you're glad he's dead because he pointed out the plotholes?
Crush Worthy Lmao I can still read those comments you deleted, try the edit button

This is what President Trump and his crew are doing behind the scenes taking down the Illuminati and the entire corrupt system to set us free from their control.
Carlin wasn't a comedian , he was a philosopher with a comedian's attitude
I don't think the title of "philosopher" should be limited to people who have degrees in philosophy. I would just call George Carlin both a comedian and a philosopher at the same time.
After all, the first philosophers were just weird Greek guys walking around and arguing with random people in the streets of Athens, until they gathered enough of a following to build an academy so that they could rant to young people about math and politics.
@@Soleilune1995 lol nice description of Greek philosophers
@Ides94 What does it mean to "contribute to philosophy" then? Does that mean that you have to write a bunch of books, become famous within academia, and then ultimately get accepted into the Western canon/tradition to be considered a true "philosopher?" If so, I think most would disagree.
Not that a dictionary definition is necessarily an authority on the actual meaning of a word, as it is used in practice, but the dictionary on Google defines "philosopher" as "a person engaged or learned in philosophy, especially as an academic discipline." This definition fits students of philosophy and well as people who just happen to read a lot of philosophical books. To be "engaged" in philosophy is not even necessarily to "contribute" to philosophy (and even I would disagree that you should call yourself a "philosopher" if you never actively comment on the philosophical thoughts of others; it is a conversation). Also, the Wikipedia page for "philosopher" defines it simply as "someone who practices philosophy," noting that the word literally translates to "lover of wisdom" in Ancient Greek. Again, neither of these definitions implies that an academic contribution is necessary for the title of philosopher. I think these definitions are too broad as well.
However, in my mind, every single time that you engage with a philosophical problem, and then subsequently share your ideas with the public, you are not only engaged in philosophy, but actively contributing to philosophy. In order to consistently be deemed a philosopher though, this would have to be a common activity for you. You can't just comment on one thing and then suddenly be a philosopher for life, but George Carlin did consistently contribute to philosophical debates every time he did stand-up. It doesn't have to be published in an academic journal. That's entirely arbitrary. Socrates never published anything in an academic journal in his entire life, and yet we all think that he is essentially the ideal form of a philosopher. He never even wrote anything at all. Plato wrote it all down for him.
@Ides94 No. What I did was ask you to clarify what you meant by "contribute to philosophy," because you did not include an explanation for what it means in the first reply. I critiqued the idea that a philosopher is someone who necessarily contributes to academia and/or the Western canon, because judging by what you said, that was the best assumption that I could make about what "contributing to philosophy" means. You could have meant the academic discipline of philosophy instead of the abstract concept of philosophy as a conversation through time. I tried to explain that, in my interpretation, "contributing to philosophy" simply means to consistently engage with philosophical inquiry and then to present/share philosophical ideas to others in conversation. It doesn't have to be written or published.
You are misrepresenting what I said. I never said "liking philosophy makes you a philosopher." I said pretty clearly, I think, that simply reading a bunch of books on philosophy is not a broad enough definition for a philosopher. Although, according to multiple online sources, that definition does qualify for the public definition used by the larger linguistic community and the definition used by dictionaries alike. As I explained, I disagree with that.
You can craft, examine, and share ideas without being a professional philosopher. That is the whole point that I am making. One of my bachelor's degrees is in philosophy. I have been published in philosophy as well. I still don't think that alone makes me any more of a philosopher than some homeless guy with a logical argument for the value of graffiti as beauty and art or something. Aesthetics is the one field of philosophy that I can barely stand, but it is a legit field nonetheless, and some homeless guy might have a fully consistent aesthetic theory inside of his head that the world has never heard before. If he talks about it with others in his community, then he fits my definition of a philosopher. He doesn't have to be employed at all, much less as a professor. I consider many scientists, politicians, writers, and musicians to be philosophers. There is no good reason why comedians cannot be philosophers too.
@Ides94 George Carlin did defend his positions though. He structured his acts as arguments, providing supporting evidence as he went on. He talked about what opponents might say, and then he made some witty comment about it to illustrate its hypocrisy and/or its failure to follow a line of reasoning all the way through to its logical conclusion.
For example, here is one of my personal favorite quotes of his: "Conservatives say if you don't give the rich more money, they will lose their incentive to invest. As for the poor, they tell us they've lost all incentive because we've given them too much money."
Perhaps you don't like or agree with what he has to say. Regardless, what he is talking about in this video, with regard to the nonexistence of rights, is actually known in academic philosophy as "legal positivism." It's the theory that there is no such thing as objective rights defined or prescribed by God, the universe, the laws of nature, etc. If there were such a thing as rights, then it would not be possible for an authority, like a government, to grant them or take them away. There would thus be no need for government, authority, or hierarchy at all. Instead, rights are social constructs, and as such, they are relative to the politics, laws, and public opinion currently in existence within any given society. So, to say that we have the rights that we do only makes any sense within our own modern-day culture. It is not possible to compare one culture at one time to another culture at another time. This says nothing, of course, about the morality of a culture's system of rights (like Carlin more or less says, because he doesn't deny that things can be immoral or evil). It's a very consistent, valid argument that he makes.
Carlin seems very strongly influenced by people like Jeremy Bentham and John Stuart Mill, due to his atheistic outlook on religion, his left-libertarian, legal positivist outlook on the government, and his utilitarian outlook on morality (that we should do the most good and provide the most utility/well-being for the greatest number of people).
"Rights aren't rights if someone can take them away. They're PRIVILEGES!"
My. Thoughts. Exactly.
Cryogenius333 The purpose of making them rights and not privileges is so that no one can take them away
@@Izzy-bq1rc Well they done did fuckered up didn't they. ;)
@Florida Under Moonlight the 3 unalienable rights are "rights" granted you at birth as a human being...with clauses. You have those 3 so long as they dont impinge on the 3 URs of another living being.
As this clause is by nature self defeating(you will inevitably impinge on someone else's pursuit of happiness, and the government can readily revoke your right to life or liberty) You are correct. They dont exist.
Civil rights can be taken from you without question or warning, or made so unattractive to exercise that you basically dont have them(you have a right to free speec but if you say anything we will hammer your ass to the wall I court with it. You have a right to stay silent but we will interpret your silence as guilt or fear and capitalize on it.)
The military revokes your FOSpeech, press, and expression readily.
If they can be taken or suspended they aren't rights. They're privileges.
Privileges are special rights though, so they are technically still rights.

Carlin should be required listening for every U.S. high school student.
Not just them, international students, the poor and needy to the rich and middle class
Every high school student in general as well
then you'll have a generation of losers, trust me, i love the guy, but a lot of what he says is just stupid, he doesn't understand religion or what the term "god-given rights" mean or even stand for, it's so misleading, and if you listen closely to him, all hes doing is complain about god and acts like the typical victim who doesn't wanna work towards their goals to achieve something, the rich didn't become "the rich" by just sitting around watching TV and complain about the world and talk about their problems, they literally fix things, many rich people are actually good, well mannered people, their only problem is they're rich, the US sure does have A LOT of issues, but you cannot deny that it is where everyone can actually achieve something relatively easy, i cannot even mention where im from without worrying about getting handcuffed bro, and what happened to the japanese was ugly, no denying in that, but it was a really different time and nobody trusted the japanese back then cuz of WW2, give it a thought.

@@LynnIronLightning there are also rich people born into wealth and literally have no incentive to make the most out of their resources, not to mention tax evasion and all that
I'm not even saying tax more or any stupid shit there's enough loopholes for them to avoid all the goddamn existing laws.
I don't agree with carlin 100% either (i'm pro life) and yeah, you're probably in the wrong goddamn place since a video like this will just have people sucking up like some kinda super-fan. Not to mention carlin's dead, and this was pretty much pre internet culture and state of affairs. Nowadays we do have easier ways to find government accountability, but everything's a double edged sword. Internet gives visibility to things that matter as well as all the things that don't.
*George Carlin: More than a comedian - truth teller, revolutionary, prophet and poet.*
definitely not a prophet
but i agree with the other titles
that is what Madonna is and she has a larger market.
Yawn, Carlin railing against the US, it would appear the US treated him very well he could have taken his money and fixed things. Plus the guy complaining about “Rights” while making money off of talking to others doesn’t make him any of what you typed. It makes him a guy with a business idea that saps like you think is amazing and would fork over more money to hear.
A guy using his right to speak into a microphone to speak about the silliness of rights is a heck of an oxymoron.

George Carlin predicted 2020 in 2008. He would have had a hell of a time in 2020.
What did he predict?
He didn't predict it. America just will never change.
He was just a really good social observer.
He seperated himself from the mix to get a wider view of what's happening.
He would have been killed
@@deesenuts8730 it has nothing to do with America specifically, it has to do with the ego's will to power and human nature and it happens in every society if you don't have a check on power. The founding fathers anticipated this but they underestimated the power of group-think, modern propaganda via social media and the ability for all three branches of government to collude to undermine the Constitution. The germophobic hysteria of covid and their near monopoly on media outlets of leftists was the door of opportunity for their final push to globalist tyranny. Places like China have already been tyrannical dystopias since Mao, the US was the last major country standing that could have done something about it...too late now.
Here in June 2020: George Carlin vindicated absolutely. Too bad he isn't around to say: I fuckin' TOLD you so.
Always was ahead of his time. The man was a prophet.
He was always right on time. The people were just too stupid to see it until it's right in front of our faces. And the people still aren't doing shit about it other than crying because they're black or destroying the country further with riots and crime. The human race just needs to be wiped out with a meteor unless we can have another war and kill all the criminal morons and corrupt assholes. Either way, it's not going to last this way.
George Carlin would have been canceled before 2020.
you just told people on his behalf.. he spoke thru you in a way but still most people are dumb muckers as Carlin would normally describe them in frustration at how they won't ever change..
Carlin KNEW wtf he was talking about, and surely would not have given a crap about the "I told you" game..lol But I DO understand your comment;) Most of us humans are MORE lost NOW than ever before.

“It’s called ‘The American Dream’ because you have to be asleep to believe it”. Wow.
Wwwwwwooooooooooooowwwwwwwww

I gotta be honest though. I talked to a woman from the Philippines the other day who tries to sell clothes to make 150 pesos a day ($3) and often goes home with nothing, or close to it. Her and her kid starve somewhat every day and live on about 1 meal daily. We are so blessed in America. Cars, food, medicine. The American dream is not dead because of our government. It’s dead because we’ve raised spoiled twats that are never happy. Their cheeseburger isn’t cooked right. Their shoes don’t match their shirt. They live for Instagram likes. It isn’t dead because of Obama or Trump or Nancy Pelosi. It’s dead because WE DON’T GET IT. And we’re raising kids who DON’T GET IT either.
@@Kingx90 This is so, so fucking true.
I don't want a son who chases clout and acts hard to get with a partner. I don't want him selling weed to make money.

If reincarnation exists, then I wanna go back and be a real human being.
He wasn't recognized as a genius for nothing 😉
As a Canadian this bit from the great George Carlin opened my eyes to the illusion of “rights” we’re all just pawns for the machine, the plans.
One of the greatest comedians of all time. Plus his knowledge of just about anything in life is spot on. His vocabulary is better than 95% of people who ever lived. His discussion on the U.S .government is the truth we all have been looking for. So many topics he has covered are so truthful. Sadly missed. George Carlin will make us laugh forever.
RIP George. What a brilliant mind. His work is more relevant now than ever.
Absolutely. If he were here today he would have had a lot to say.
I wish he was still alive. We missed out on so much good content
It was always relevant 🙄
I think he said all that was needed to say. Now we just have to listen.

Not sure how your implication about others therefore allowing themselves to be victims can be drawn from what I wrote.
Carlin seems to imply that there is no God bc, if God existed (and were ‘in control’), there would be no injustice (i.e. there would be no exception to ‘God-given’ rights).

The federal government was designed to be small and to function for a very specific delegated reason as laid out in the Constitution. all other powers were supposed to be given to the states and directly to the people themselves but due to the ignorance of prior generations they surrendered the rights of the people to the states, who subsequently surrendered those rights to the federal government.

But he bullshites all over men.

If certain rights can be taken away, doesn't that make them State-sanctioned privileges?
Bingo 👍
Shhhhhh the god squad will burn you at the stake
The government can't take them away. If the government censors you, you still have a right to free speech, they're just immorally preventing you from exercising them.
Buff minion That’s exactly what George said.
@@RIGHT-WING-PMP If they preventing you from exercising your rights they do take this rights away.
Damn George we need you more now than ever. Sorely missed.
We've developed the disillusion that we depend on someone else to determine our rights..is that not slavery..

if you buy land or vehicles you don't actually own any of it. It's only in your possession until the government reclaims it from you.
You and me don't own anything because the "money" we use in NOT capable of tranfering actual TITLE to ANY THING.
REAL "MONEY" has intrinsic VALUE. One loaf of bread may be capable of "buying" one or more racks of eggs, depending on the market conditions in play at that time. Pieces of paper having no intrinsic value are not "redeemable" in anything. ...except other pieces of paper....having no intrinsic value. When the apples are traded for the bread, a real value for value transactjon has taken place. And a genuine transfer of property and the right to that property has occured. The "debauching" of the monetary system was a deliberate part of the foreclosure of America. In the planning stages for generations. Way past time to wake up the sheeple.
Yep
Hell, We don’t even own ourselves! Let alone precious possessions
Still, nobody can take away your knowledge!
Numais Reginald And still, facts are subject to change. As everything else under the sun. I mean, I may know what I know but that doesn’t mean I know all there is to know about what I know, you know?
This is honestly terrifying to think about. I always had a problem with the way the world was run.
Thankfully it's built on the wrong premise. The premise that god gave these rights specifically. While true these rights are given by god, they are not 'god given to write down' specifically. They are HUMANS ATTEMPT to RECOGNIZE the rights that god gave us, NOT to get every single one correct. We are not perfect, not every country is able to recognize human rights the same due to culture or values. The rights we have are OUR ATTEMPT to recognize what WE THINK god gave to us. NOT god telling us to "write that down quick!"
@@jasonhodge2183 I stopped believing in God a long time ago, and i am pretty sure the Japanese did in those camps, or the jews.

I was VERY FORTUNATE to have seen him TWICE IN-PERSON. I saw him at the Ovens Auditorium in Charlotte back in the 70's and then saw him at the Atlanta Civic center about the same time. I saw George Harrison (from the BEATLES with Billy Preston and some guy from India) on Friday night then saw George Carlin the next night, THEY were both GREAT 😃😄😁😎 That was a GREAT AND MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE seeing the TWO GEORGES. MAY THEY BOTH RIP. 😯😔😢😨
It's important in life to don't give a shit - George Carlin

George, you ahead of your time. Thanks for sharing. I love the quote
“It’s called the American dream, you’d have to be asleep to believe it.”
And when you're unwilling to give up your rights you had for forty years and your forefathers had their whole lives. you'll be called a danger to society.
I think Jordan Peterson gave my favorite answer to something like this. Effectively our rights come from each other. To roughly paraphrase him: your rights are my responsibility, because my rights are your responsibility.
George Carlin: “...Hop onto Wikipedia..”
Teachers: *angry crying*
Wikipedia: where anyone can amend facts to suit their agenda.
Mainstream Media: where Government amends facts to suit their agenda..
Also
Public Education: where Government amends your minds to suit their agenda ...
Teachers tell students not to use Wikipedia because it is not an academic source. Not because it is inaccurate. It is heavily moderated. If you go and put some BS on Wikipedia, it'll be taken down fast. Wikipedia is the greatest encyclopedic source on the planet. It's a great place for starting research, because it's writers are required to provide sources with links.
Please consider the fact that Wikipedia is a good source of information only when an appropriate number of references are presented and when there is no huge controversy around the issue that would lead to biases and attempts to contort facts. Do not go to Wikipedia if you want to know about current political issues, some articles on history may also be ambiguous or misleading. However, for everything else Wikipedia is a wonderful source of free information (look for articles with enough references).
Education prepares young people to be obedient docile workers at those low paying meaningless tedious repetitive 9 to 5 jobs
"It's called the "American Dream", because you have to be asleep to believe it," George Carlin.
He knew about the corrupted oligarchs, corporations, politicians and the MSM long before the internet's free press. He was similarly amazing, a comedic genius, and he tried to wake us to the Orwellian society we really live in.
@Sixmil Goldstein so did Henry Ford. So much so he found no one would publish or interview him about them. So be bought his own newspaper. The Dearborn Independent, check good old leftest wikipedia i bet the jump all over it.
It isnt an Orwellian society it's a society that Huxley envisioned. You know all this is happening you know that the government is corrupt, but it's hard to fight it and after all if you spend time fighting that's time away from hobbies, chores, studies, work and relationships, these costs are to great so you just have a laugh and agree to this but do nothing because your life isnt to the point that you see the danger, it's like putting a frog into slowly boiling water, lil by lil turn up the heat and before the frog knows it, it's being boiled alive.
When I was an apprentice in the 60's one of my college tutors said to the class that 'you have no rights'.
I didn't believe him then but I do now!
I have lost sleep looking for the “American” dream trying to stay positive so my daughter can have a better life than me.
I came up with a nice metaphor: Imagine a dog is on a leash from its owner. The dog is gonna feel free until it either tries to move away from the owner or the owner decides to pull on the leash or tighten it in order to direct the dog. If there is not tension in the rope, the dog feels free despite the fact that it clearly is not because the owner has the power to control it whenever they want. We are the dog and the government is the leash, and that is why the government size and power needs to be shrunk, but nobody really wants that because the government is full of really smart people who are very capable of manipulating and exploiting the average man (who is a fool) in our democracy.
Exactly, the thing is that if you try to push since you feel something wrong you are tagged as a crazy/dumb one :)
@@owncraticpath you have to push anyway.
Heh, it seems Carlin wasn't the only one of his kind. Nice job OP
@@melissagreen_ Yeah, better pushing than nothing xd
They aren't all smart. Remember when Hank Johnson said he was worried if too many people move to Guam, it could tip over?
“He loves you and he NEEDS MONEY!!!!! He always NEEDS MONEY!!!!” Lol. George Carlin. No better person to both learn from and laugh. One of the best of all time!
George literally narrated some Thomas the Tank Engine! What a wild life!
Spoke nothing but the truth 💯
This time it's actually NOT funny because it's true.
It was true then too. XGen👋. Actually, it’s been true throughout history. What we have happening now, is 3 huge events coalescing at once, in addition to everything Carlin mentions, & we’ve reached the stage where it’s going to boil over now. Total failure of federal gov to address a highly contagious pandemic in 🇺🇸. Failure of gov (again) to address the genuine economic crisis we’re in (which is going to get much worse), except to funnel more money to the corporate billionaires who run things. Businesses (except giant corporations) closing permanently due to the outbreak, & receiving insufficient or no help from the government to keep them afloat. Contrary to what many people believe, it’s not big businesses that keep the economy going, it’s small businesses. And small businesses make up 80% of 🇺🇸 businesses. It’s estimated now at least 48% will go under. That is a recipe for economic disaster. Adding more pressure to a broken system, is the fact that many people lost jobs they’ll never get back. It’s a new world now bc of this pandemic. Most those jobs are forever lost. People who never had to worry before, now find themselves unable to feed their families, pay their bills.. pay their rent. Add to that the fact that the federal moratorium on evictions & foreclosures expired on 7/24 (& the Senate let it happen), & landlords are now able to serve eviction notices... some 28 million eviction notices have been filed by landlords.Thats 28 million people, most of which will become homeless. That’s insane. Now add to that the political & racial divisiveness you see happening, amidst an ever growing % of the 🇺🇸 pop who’re outraged by what they’ve been able to witness happening to Black people, bc everyone now has a video camera in their phone they can upload for the world to see in seconds... which also, btw, creates more anger & divisiveness in an already very divided country. These are all the classic signs you see before uprisings, wars, revolutions, & these things aren’t just happening here. It’s happening in Great Britain, Poland, Hungary, Italy. You’re right. It’s actually not funny at all, but it’s an excellent way for Carlin to educate & wake people up. I’m very glad to see younger folks listening Carlin. He’s a truth teller.

It's called learning history and thinking for yourself
I wouldn't call him wise, there are plenty of flaws in his logic and hypocrisy. He is just a simple man with simple ideas.
What a brilliant piece of work by a genius
Omg I remember this coming out when I was 18 and me and my friend listened to the bit about death and my friends dad died just recently we both laugh at those jokes the most now. People think you’re messed up if you joke during a hard time but it’s really the most honest reaction you can give to tragedy.
George was very intelligent and funny I will miss that man's musings. R. I. P
typical jewish ofiscation
He was great, wish he was still with us today. What’s happenings today just confirms everything George had been telling us. He would have had a field day writing his material from what’s happening in the news today. It certainly would have entertained us through these tough times.

Friendshipismagic That’s my mindset, as long as those have their privileges taken away I want to be able to help them get them back.
