Why are you completely silent for much of the time that Jimmy is talking to you? There's no verbal encouragement or acknowledgment and it feels almost like he's talking to himself at times.

[@peachesandpoets]

​@@cjojay Not everybody needs a cheerleader in order to talk. When a host notices a confident speaker and recognises that the speaker's contribution is consistent and valuable, the best thing for the host to do is be quiet. Jimmy didn't say much that needed challenging or a push. He either gave his opinion or gave facts, and never tried to demand that his opinion was fact. People are tainted by news networks being mostly opinion and argument and have forgotten about what journalism (small J) is. And yes, I know that most such people haven't or can't read this far.

" It's your quality of life, minus envy, that's how happy you are " ...wow that hit true

[@banedon8087]

Too simplistic by far.

[@pootytang69]

@@banedon8087 It is reductive but I'm not sure it's simplistic to the point of being incorrect - I feel it does pretty accurately sum up how happy someone generally feels. You can have very little, envy even less and feel generally pretty happy so long as your survival isn't in constant ambiguity. Vice versa you can have everything a person could want and still perceive the world as needing to give you more to be satisfied, and live eternally unhappy. Obviously most of what we envy is subconscious, but if we can work out why we're chasing what we're chasing, we might realise we're on a bunch of wild goose chases and everything we actually need is a lot simpler to attain.

[@banedon8087]

@@pootytang69 It does not take into account the despair of seeing what you love in society being destroyed in the name of "progress" and watching things go into clear decline.

[@pootytang69]

@@banedon8087 I believe that would be covered by envy - though he's using envy in the sense to mean you're wanting for something you feel denied of. Another applicable quote he used in regards to what you said is the Nietzsche one "If you think someone ruined your life, you're right, it was you." In your example it's the perspective that "things aren't as they ought to be" that is harming the individual.

[@banedon8087]

@@pootytang69 Still too simple. When I look around and see that others - many others - feel the same way as myself and we all started off independently, then it's not just a "me" thing. In addition, these things matter at the core of people. This isn't envy or jealousy, but watching what is happening with the newer generations and seeing them despair, seeing people taking advantage of that and radicalising them against themselves and society. And that's just that start of it. Sometimes the issue isn't the individual.

The confident one piped up and proclaimed how??? How can you do so much stuff! I replied. I grew up poor. But with a dad. I had to become self sufficient or...metaphorically die. And I guess the hardships I look upon as perceived trauma while growing up. Actually. Make me who I am and are to be celebrated. What a privilege. To not need bank loans. To never need a mechanic or a bodyshop. Never need a builder, a plumber or an electrician. To never need much more than myself. What a gift. Now...many will see this as a pointless comment. I'm sure. It's not about setting up a business having passive income and a ferrari. But. I think it's key to be thankful and celebrate who you are and what you can do. Not be depressed about what you can't.

My Dad always worked, 3 jobs sometimes, because he had too. I didn’t see much of him as a kid. When I was older (late teens maybe) he mentioned how he feels he missed everything, just off the cuff no real emphasis on it, while we were chatting and cooking. I stopped him and said “Even as a kid I knew why you did it, that you had to, that the reason I had food and a roof was because of you. Thank you for what you did. You didn’t miss my childhood, you made it possible.” I think he let go of years of guilt and tension. I’m sure he wanted to stop and help raise me one on one, but he couldn’t.

[@kjmav10135]

Depression is a real syndrome. We need to take it seriously, absolutely. Is it a “disease,” as defined by the medical community? No. It’s some combination of symptoms observed in patients over a period of weeks by psychiatrists. In one person, the cause may be a thyroid issue. In another person, maybe it’s a lifetime of loneliness. For another, they need to overcome a lifetime sense of powerlessness. For another, they may well need lithium to function. There is a reason why meds don’t work 60% of the time. Depression is not one “disease” any more than abdominal pain is a “disease.” We’ve barely scratched the surface of helping people overcome their misery.

Jimmy Carr is an exemplar of an authentic person. Despite being a hilarious comedian on stage, he rarely tries to be funny in person. He knows that it's a persona for the stage. One to one, he just wants to talk philosophy, psychology, quote great people, analyse life. He's perfectly comfortable both on and off stage and isn't trying hard to impress. Frankie Boyle is similar in that respect. It's refreshing because I'm not here for his jokes, I'm here for his sober insights, and he delivers. And fair play to Steven for knowing how to let his guests talk, asking good questions and giving space. Great interviewer.

My cousin wore calipers, quite cumbersome looking things. Do you mind if I ask why you wore them? My daughter has castings put on her leg, it’s to stretch the Achilles’ tendon shortened as a result of a tethered spinal cord - I’m wondering if casting is the modern form of calipers.

[@paul8972]

Jimmy supports government censorship

[@emmavink]

The presumption there is that people who don't censor things are inherently good. It isn't true. In a world where regardless of who was or wasn't censoring things, the worst atrocities were still able to happen, holding up the past as some ideal is not only dangerous, but extraordinarily disingenuous. If someone's comedy relies on hurting those who are already measurably marginalised in society, then it isn't comedy worth hearing. It isn't original. It isn't revolutionary or brave or unique or special. It's just ugly, petty and negative. Allowing hatespeech to have free reign has also never been a feature of a good or just society. It's really fking easy for people with privilege to make the arguments that men like Carr, Gervais, and even Chappelle are making.

[@JustinT1025]

This is one of the best interviews I've ever seen. Jimmy is always brilliant but the interviewer( I don't recall the name right now,I apologize)is perfect. He's not talking over the guest,he's asking just enough questions and giving the answer time to breathe and keeping things going. Absolutely fantastic. I agree with so many things here. I'm a construction worker,46 from the states and last year decided to say fuck it and move to Europe. Not a great time to do it with the state of the world but I did it anyways. It's been difficult to say the least but I'm still grateful that I've done it. I've learned a lot about the world and myself and I've learned real gratitude for people. Most people don't speak English where I am so it's been a tough journey but even with the language barrier,everyone has been amazing to me. I didn't expect that at all. I never thought I'd be here but I'm glad I am. Just like this interview. Never thought I'd hear it but I'm glad I did and that's how life is. It's tough,it's easy,it's in-between and that's the beauty of everyday... I'll be subscribing for sure
