That story Rogan told about his daughter was probably the purest piece of comedy, in terms of content, that I've ever heard him tell. He never would've brought that up or used it if it wasn't for Palahniuk effectively doing exactly what he just described and creating an environment when it's okay for people to tell stories they normally wouldn't.

Palahniuk is a crazy-fantastic guy. Best interview JR has ever done that I've seen. JR and Chuck are clearly on the same page and it is feeding my soul. If you can't go into the dark (meaning your own dark places) you are still an "infant". I always hope for people to grow up - but they usually don't.

The issue is that when we don't talk at all about things, especially in respect to development, that create trauma that goes unchanged. Theres complications to it as with all things.

I personally don't watch graphic/disturbing/horrifying movies. But give me a book and I will read the crap out of it.

[@CatsCantSwim]

I've heard people say this before and it doesn't make much sense to me. To use you as an example, you can 100% internalize the mind fuck that a book brings about through its graphic and written description of a particularly gruesome event without sharing this highly personalized experience with anyone else, and this is done with relative ease. But as soon as you see the same exact thing play out externally on TV or a big screen, it becomes unbearable or at least a big turn off. Having an identically disturbing situation, how is reading it more palpable than watching it? I think it's the opposite way around.

"How much can you know about yourself if you've never been in a fight" Chuck Palahniuk - Fight Club

[@damiendarko9411]

I'm involved in self publishing and have participated in a few writers circles over the years, and man Chuck Palahniuk knows what he's talking about... "So is your character--like--a misogynist?" "Does this scene have to be so violent?" "Did you write a woman into the story just to die? WHY NOT STUFF HER INTO A REFRIGERATOR WHILE YOU'RE AT IT!" Men aren't reading anymore, we're too distracted by the high stimulus instant gratification of our new gaming and media platforms. This is BAD because it truncates possible creativity and boxes it into other mediums that are less cerebral in nature... It's gotten to the point where I have to stop myself from envisioning a scene from playing out as if it WERE a video game.

[@kiloub]

supernormal stimuli is indeed a big modern problem.

[@matteframe]

Speak for yourself. I'm a man, I read quite a bit. I don't play video games. I do watch too many movies but I read about a book a week. I am 47 YO though. I would just clarify your statement by saying men under 30 (or whatever) don't read. Most of my friends my age with any sort of brain do read. Maybe we're a dying breed?

[@vitorodino8760]

@@matteframe No offense but you're a fringe case. As you said a dying breed. While there are still young intelligent men who read, there are less and less of them because at a young age they are seduced by these new-age hyper stimulating mediums

[@bradenharris8718]

@@matteframe and I know many men your age who don't have any creativity at all and say they've NEVER read a book unless made too in school. It depends on the person and the kind of education they have, not the age. Ignorant people come in all ages and they see no benefit of real knowledge.

[@finderlifebound]

Further proof that everyone's personality and character are determined by experiences they've had when they were younger and even the smallest thing in someone's mind could throw someone else completely off the rails. Be nice to everyone because you never know what they've been through. Be kind to children and teach them to be genuinely kind to everyone else. Uplift each other and offer help to those not as well off as yourself and teach them to be able to help themselves so they can help others and heal this world. It all starts with us.

[@anewagora]

This is a profound clip. I still remembered it, came back last night and it has helped me on a deep level. One example of the kind of stories Chuck makes space for are the experiences of transgender people, as well as detransitioners who suffered damage from false diagnosis and treatment. I am a man with this disorder (Female-to-Male). That whole area of topic is one of the hardest for humanity to struggle with right now. If people can speak bluntly about their actual experience without being called mentally ill, pathological, mutants or immoral monsters then maybe we will actually liberate ourselves and each other.

[@permabulk1454]

You are not a man, you are a female who chooses to dress and look like a man. Nothing wrong with it on the surface, and we’re happy if you’re happy. But do not mistake it for “being a man” unless you have testicles, a penis and XY chromosomes.

[@SymbolismDude]

Chuck! If you can hear me, books are still great, it’s just harder to find a reliable author like yourself. I loved reading House of Leaves, but due to the ending, I couldn’t rely on the writer anymore. I love all you books but wasn’t huge on the one with the girl in hell, but I read everything up to that point. Rant is tattoo’s on my chest and Haunted is what got me into reading ( I started reading it because of a girl but still). I know you’ve heard this a million times but I’m going to say it one millionth more time, can we please get the sequel to Rant! Pleeeease

[@SymbolismDude]

To add to that I like rap (more bigge, Dre, pac), and I wasn’t huge on lil Wayne for the longest time but i came around, but when he left I gave up on rap. Feeling there wasn’t anyone as skillful. I feel the same way with you and writing, if there’s no pauluhnuik there’s no writer I trust to pursue more reading. After I finished your books, I would venture out to read another, and if it wasn’t as good I would re-read rant to get me into reading again. Without fresh good stuff from someone you trust the rest goes stale. At least that’s how I feel. I’ve read rant about 9 times at this point.

[@stefanbas6181]

Chuck is a genius!!

[@zd2243]

I am in shock. I remember the pool story. I don't remember when or where I read it and didn't even know he wrote it. But I remember that story vividly. Gosh.

[@CoreyisBarackObama]

I see Chuck as the kind of guy who always has a tonne on his mind. Thinking about things he's done and hasn't done, maybe regretting them. Regretting them purely from how they affected other people. He seems to always have other people's feelings at the front of his thoughts, and in his work he expresses that from, what I see as, his own perspective. From what I've seen, and read, I think he's a really nice guy, but I'd assume he's a nice guy that doesn't believe he's nice. I'd want him to know that.

[@hlp1484]

Not only do I think that movies are a great medium, but I think that music videos are becoming short films with really rewarding ideas. One band that struck me with those kind of music videos is Girl Band; be warned though, one video that REALLY goes into a dark place is their music video for their song "Paul".

I was in grade school when the horror move, PSYCHO, was released for viewing and it was different than any monster movie we had going at the time.... it was about human nature and very psychological. It did make us look at people differently. I guess that was the beginning of such transparency? Today we are constantly aware that someone could be watching us and like the song says... paranoia runs deep.... into your life it will creep. We were always told not to talk to strangers though even before the news made it seem common for bad things to happen. Children still played outside with their friends.... but, some kids were kept indoors all the time. Halloween we went door to door for instance but, then stories spread about people putting razor blades in apples, etc. and parents checked whatever goodies their kids brought home. It has been many years since I have seen any trick or treaters where I live. I always buy candy just in case but, end up eating it myself. Probably, just give the kids money? A nickel or a quarter I suppose. This year I don't care.... I'm giving strawberry twizzlers and they aren't individually wrapped. Hey, if you don't trust other people then don't let your kids go trick or treating. LOL
