[@paryanindoeur]

Joe is talking about the _Theory of the Limited Good_ -- what he calls the famine mentality. I remember thinking kind of like that when I was in my teens. It leads to resentment of anyone's and everyone's success. I knew a guy years ago -- a real black pit of a human being, a dark narcissist -- and I could tell he was one of those. He hated me because _he_ wanted to be "the intelligent one', and thought I was robbing him by being smart. I think eventually he started to work out his psychological issues, but for several years he created havoc in the lives of everyone he came across.

[@ThumbDr]

Hey “pointdexter” do you think maybe you’re not really as smart as you think you are and maybe your the one that’s a narcissist? Idk kind of come across as a “smartest in the room” loser to me lol

[@paryanindoeur]

@@ThumbDr _He_ thought I was the smartest person in the room, and that was why he spread gossip about me continuously for years. Attacking someone who has not attacked you is *always* a reveal of internal insecurities, and often the 'attacker' is the only one who believes his motives are hidden, inscrutable. I only _consider_ myself in terms of my actions -- mostly productivity and morality. Otherwise I make it a point not to think about myself -- something that has taken decades of practice, and serious adversity I would never have chosen for myself.

[@CantTellYou]

@@paryanindoeur Do _you_ think _you’re_ the smartest person in the _room?_ And will you _lie_ & tell us that you _don’t?_ We may never know!

[@CantTellYou]

@@paryanindoeur I’m just joshin’ ya, but to be serious: I didn’t know about the “Theory of the Limited Good”. I just remember an old friend of mine preaching “scarcity vs. abundance mindsets” because he was obsessed with self-help books & specifically that one Stephen Covey book, which I suspect Joe might’ve pulled from too. I had no idea that the concept was written decades before, by an anthropologist I’ve never heard of before. Do you know if the idea pre-dates even him? I don’t know what search terms to plug in to learn this & I don’t know why I’m so curious about the full origin, but I am!

[@paryanindoeur]

@@CantTellYou I understand that you cannot know... but I do. I was speaking about a specific room at a specific time, btw, and I never said I thought I was the smartest person -- just that a narcissist, who had been abused as a child, btw -- acted in a bizarre, passive-aggressive manner, secretly trying to poison other people against me, over several years, felt threaten by me. Considering no one here has anything riding on it, and I have nothing to gain from it other than the benefit of sharing knowledge, it should not matter to you whether I'm lying or not. Some people just have an innate distaste from an honest admission of their own value. Sometimes it's cultural, like the Scandinavian _Law of Jante,_ but I see 'denying reality' as worse than the risk of being misread as arrogant by people who don't know me.

I also missed out on the chance to see Twisted Sister perform at a dive on route 59 in Nanuet, because I only knew them from their posters and they were a little too weird looking for me. My loss.

[@ShawnRavenfire]

About those timing laughs, it can be reversed as well. Way back when I was starting out, I came up with what I thought was a "clever" premise for a joke, but not a particularly funny one. It was about how the Catholic Church honors saints on the days they died, instead of their birthdays (because martyrdom) and call it a "feast" of that saint ("feast" here meaning "festival"), and my idea was that the only ones who "feast" when a Christian becomes a martyr are the lions. The trouble was, even though I thought the concept was clever, I couldn't figure out a way to make it funny. Then it hit me. If I tell the joke in a way that I know is going to bomb, and then have a much better follow-up joke about the fact that my joke bombed, I can get a laugh and still have used the clever premise. So I deliberately changed up my speech rhythm so that it WOULDN'T trigger a laugh response, but with just enough of a pause that the audience would realize a split second later that there was supposed to be a laugh, and then, hit them with the REAL punch line. And it worked like a charm! Me: "The Catholic Church celebrates something called 'feast days,' honoring the day that a Catholic saint died. A Catholic dies and they call it a 'feast?' Yeah, for the lions!" (Audience is awkwardly silent.) Me: "Too soon?" (HUGE laugh from the audience!)

Apparently Louie gets high from time to times. I remember a O&A episode when he said he's got a fat stash and smokes up on occasions

38 years of doing comedy is remarkable

It'd be more remarkable if Louis CK was a decent human being.

[@Oscareuh]

@@TheZademann what makes him a bad person?

[@TheZademann]

@@Oscareuh Multiple acts of sexual coercion. Using his power/social status to abuse people that were around him.

Louie said that the United States should not have a border. Yup, a real genius.

[@r.p.mcmurphy6623]

What do you got going, genius? 🤣🤣

[@shadowprince4482]

I will slightly disagree with Louis on one thing. If you are a headliner then it is difficult to follow a good act because the audience is expecting the best. Now there's exceptions to every rule but if you're a headliner or easily the most famous in a group then you better bring your A game or you will bomb hard if you go last. Look at Jeff Foxworthy, he was DYING to not be the last to go on because the other Blue Collar guys were so damn good that the audience expectation of him was huge. As soon as he was the second/third comedian everything leveled out. Think of it like a fireworks show and the grand finale is in the middle of the show, you'd think the second half sucked. lol

Louis basically got cancelled and came back a legend.

[@theDavidChannel1]

He did it the right way by not fighting it. He just accepted it and disappeared for a while.

[@TriteNight1218]

@@theDavidChannel1 he shouldn’t have apologized on their terms, but I think he did handle it pretty well for the most part. When you have a self righteous mob calling for your head, there’s not much you can do.

[@patrickmcphee770]

He was a legend before he asked for a womans permission to jerk off in front of her!

Yo David Arnold died. Why is that picture used for this title? What’s the point of that?

[@TuleeMaster]

Louis should’ve had the speech with Joe about his stand up comedy like Joe had with Schaub about his fighting.

[@ThisHandleFeatureIsStupid]

Which speech is that? The "hanging up the gloves is the only way you can sell the idea that you deserved them to begin with" speech?
