Bill Hicks - Positive Drug Story

Bill Hicks - Positive Drug Story

[@hendrsb33]

I think that was the best, most profound closing in comedy history...

[@randomations11]

Exactly the reaction I had the first time I saw this, years ago. Enjoy the ride, brother. :)

[@dayronejohnson1259]

TheWeaver do you listen to Allan Watts

[@BROCK-hq9dn]

Nah, George Carlin had the best opening and closing in the history of stand-up comedy specials.

[@ontherowe4549]

You might just be right

[@arthurchapa8455]

Absolutely

[@mike4619]

In one hundred years, Bill Hicks will still be ahead of his time.

Who else is watching this in 2024 or after, while high, and finding peace and clarity in his closer?

[@oOImpulseOo]

My guy, roll one up type Bill Hicks in to the search bar and just start clicking. This guy was sneaking out of his house at 15 to perform at a comedy club. He's the most famous comedian that nobody's ever heard of. Legend.

[@darkaliebaba99]

That 'today young man on acid realized that all matter is merely energy condensed (...) and we are the imagination of our selves.' really summed up my shroom trip from yesterday.

I know right? I've only recently gotten a partial spiritual awakwning and just realized how right he is! I'll look for more vids where he talks more about this. Fascinating.

[@creatureofthenight852]

Right? I think he's on to something if not he hit it right on the nail. Either way he's closer than most of us

basically saying the people that realize life is just a ride and it's not all that there is and it is a very small part of existence go to others to tell them about this ride and let them know "hey it's just a ride dont worry! there is no such thing as death." the big wigs and corporations and greedy elites dont want the rest of humanity to realize this because then the structure of society that has been built around money, power, fortune, would crumble. it would all go away. no more investment portfolio no more big bank account, no more corporate slaves. so they kill those people that try to come and tell everyone else it's an illusion and its just a ride
