Crossposting this from a thread I saw on /tv/, but it seemed super pertinent to /lit/ in terms of subject matter. Norm is on some straight Schopenhauer shit for the first 20 minutes of this interview, it's literally like he's reading aphorisms out of 'The Trouble with Being Born.' It might be a bit, considering it's Norm, but I don't think so. What you guys think?

I was in the other thread as well. He's perhaps the most literate comedian I've heard, he seems like somewhat of an absurdist, but that might be me lumping in the nature of his profession as part of his philosophy.

Most mainstream comedians seem to be very cynical or nihilistic in their confessional stylings, and I believe people unfairly correlate Norm's worldviews with them. People describe Norm as dry when I say he's wet.

Yes he is.
You can tell he's not being totally honest.
There's a point in the video where he starts confusing his son's age.
He speaks as if he's handling life's problems differently than most out of some sort of maturity.
What would actually be mature is to find some faith.
What would actually be mature is to set a positive example.
What would actually be mature is to walk away from your fame and fortune in order to be a decent man.

>He needs money
You're an idiot or a liar if you think THAT guy NEEDS money.
He goes on an on about the emptiness of life.
That's because he's an empty narcissistic and nihilistic person. Nothing to be proud of.
In a world so full of corruption, lies, and needless death there is PLENTY to keep busy with ESPECIALLY if you have his means.
I mean later in the video he admitted to having an enormous gambling problem.
NEEDS MONEY? You're deluded.

I actually completely agree with him about sex. I feel so disgusted and self-conscious about it (and I'm an atheist). It just seems so dehumanizing; like you have to distance yourself from the other person as a conscious subject and view them only as a distant object. I haven't had sex in like over a year. And I'm also not a some prudish autist or anything - I actually have like a fetish basically for "slutty" or "promiscuous" girls.

>Right, like the comedian who made a joke comparing someone quoting Bible verses on a subway to him quoting Harry Potter passages. That joke really irritated you. Why?

>Oh, just the smugness. There are a lot more hack “smart” comedians nowadays and atheist comedians. It’s so dull. To be talking about being an atheist living in West Hollywood is not the bravest stance to take. If a guy went up and said, “Jesus Christ is our lord and savior,” I’d say, “Damn, that guy’s brave!” Or, “The infidels must die under the sword of Allah!” I’d go, “Goddamn, that’s a brave comic.” So that got under my skin. Also the idiocy of comparing the New Testament to Harry Potter. I knew because I read all the books with my kid that J.K. Rowling said she’s a Christian and based the books on the New Testament. I thought, now you’ve really stepped into an area that you don’t know what you’re talking about at all.
