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.

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.

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.

I was never a big Jimmy Carr fan, he always seemed a bit slick, a bit brash. This video changes that around 100%. He is so approachable, so wise, and he has clearly gone through some of the same hell as everyone else goes through, and come out better for it.

[@laylek2379]

That brash and super rude side is the part of Jimmy that pays the bills as they say.

[@HistoricMetals]

a bit slick, a bit brash is literally the performance of his being a performer. This is generally true of most public facing personas, actors, actresses, comedians, etc. If you are judging those books by their professional covers, you missed the contents of the books. And even when they go on late night talk shows, or get interviewed, some of this is in play. Unless you spend time with them personally and a decent amount of time at that, you will never know who any of those people really are. Unless of course, they get caught and exposed like P Diddy or something. But generally, most people will never know who their "idols" actually even are. Which is pathetic and scary to thinking, observant people as those unaware people live amongst us and vote and procreate.

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.

​ @JustGotALife: I would argue that that's not entirely how it is: in reality confidence comes from success. And that's also why there is so much confidence without competence in the world. Because many people that succede for other reasons that their own competence (pretty privilige, personal connections, luck...) still feel confident due to their sucess. Often not even realizing that their own competence is lacking and was not the reason for their success. (or full on ignoring the reasons for success) And if you are competent in a field and still fail for whatever reason, that will greatly impact confidence. (it's a myth that competence alone leads to success)

[@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.

Thank you for that distinction between depression and momentary sadness. A lot of people don't understand that depression is a deadly disease if it goes on untreated long enough. Calling a depressed person selfish is one of the worst things a person can do.

[@SiRushBass]

While i absolutely agree to treating people with depression with love, non judgement, unconditional positive regard and empathy, it is not a disease. There is simply no science behind that assertion: there's no pathology, no virus, no biomarkers. The seratonin theory of depression has no evidence(I can share scientific papers on request). Rather we look at the person: what has happened to them? Not what is wrong with them. Trauma, difficult life circumstances past or present. This doesn't blame them, like calling them selfish obviously does, nor does it disempower them, and convince them they have an illness, rather than a natural reaction the the Sh1t that life has thrown at them. This is empowering. This gives them understand, and tools for change. Thanks Si

It's not a simple narrative, so it's maybe harder to accept, but taking SSRIs doesn't address the cause of depression, and it can in a minority of cases reduce the symptoms. Placebo is implicated in many studies. Also, seratonin levels are boosted within hours taking SSRIs, but the symptoms don't reduce until 4-6 weeks very roughly, so what's the mechanism? There are some leading theories but non confirmed. We don't ask the question "what is wrong with you?" we ask the question "what has happened to you". This is the real way to help people out of their depression. The disease model is flawed. It's a category error. There's no biomarkers, no pathology. Yes, we have biological predispositions, but that's very different to biological causations. It's only the interactions of the biological and the environment that cause depression. And that's a fact.

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.

[@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.

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.

Why would anyone give up billions of dollars to be actually depressed and broke in the true sense of the words? Only if they would not be depressed and broke for long. Billions of dollars is a lot of money. If you're blind, an amputee or something else unfortunate, I would think billions of dollars might fix that enough. I get what you mean but I think "depressed and broke" is used colloquially while "billions of dollars" is highly underestimated when taking the comment literally 😅.

I feel the same, it's the memories that we make that carry us happily through life, not the things that we own. Giving an anonymous gift, going out for dinner, or treating a friend to dinner or a gift, that is worth more to me than most things. If we can cover the necessities in life, and have a little left over for some little treats, then we have "enough". And, when you know that you have "enough", then you can relax and enjoy life more. Forever striving for "MORE" is robbing us of life.
