Jim Carrey is a freaking weird dude
SmokyDoggg
He's also a talented painter
Lucidacide
It's so ugly to look at. Very well done.
GerbilHereReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
Or are they, Jim? Or maybe it's you projecting it onto everyone else.

When they have access to Percocet they come up with all these visions

The economy should work for the people rather than people should be ground up for the economy.

Ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country.

I wonder if ppl realize I'm contradicting df819 with that JFK quote?
df8199350
I wonder if you know the difference between the nation and the economy.
thisisprocrastination
Which economy? Oh right, the nations economy.
BaklavaMatatas
Well this was the promise behind capitalism but here we are
shadowbane1120
He definitely isnt wrong here. These thoughts are what have driven me into depression and anxiety. So many still ignore it, and THAT is the
shadowbane1120
Issue. We arent going to make society better until we realize just how far down the well we have fallen. Or keep pretending like the Uighers
shadowbane1120
In China dont matter, nor the immigrants in america. Nor the underdeveloped countries being exploited for cheap labor and resources.
shadowbane1120
Keep prioritizing profits and money. Instant gratification. More more more. Sure carrey isnt always 100% there, but how can you live in
shadowbane1120
This atmosphere, knowing you are powerless to affect change on any sort of scale, and be mentally stable? Yall are the crazy ones.
brownribbon
He’s an anti-vaxxer. Fuck him.
Apothecarius
OR, they're mentally ill and they should seek help. Fuck Jim Carrey, anti-vaxx, anti-medication, anti-science fuck boi.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
He has it exactly the wrong way around. Mental illness causes self-isolation. Ofc this isolation may exacerbate the symptoms in the long ...
Apothecarius
"You just need to be happy and productive to beat depression!" What a fucking tool.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
Yeah, depressed ppl just made the wrong choice not to surround themselves with support. Which is so easy to come by & totally affordable /s
Apothecarius
"nutritious food" So affordable, that's why everyone just chooses to eat junk instead. Not because they can't afford to eat healthy.
FiftyShadesOfMascarpone
term, if only through burned bridges that deprive the individual of social support. But the root cause usually goes much further back.
MadOatmeal
An actor sharing his views. I would not give it that much weight.
chrish066
Just reading The Wheel of Time, and he is who I imagine as Thom Merrilin.
nickasaurusrex83
I that image, very much yes. How much have you read? I'm about 1/3 through number 10.
chrish066
Yeah, I think he could pull it off perfectly! I'm halfway through the 4th book now (no spoilers) I'm doing the audiobooks. They are amazing!
nickasaurusrex83
To be honest, I can't even remember what exactly happened in the last book, so much going on!
ElemenopCueAre
Half of this country's citizens are beginning to behave like preWW2 german citizens. They actually believe our current leader is flawless.
ElemenopCueAre
Unfortunately this current leader will be back in 4 years and maybe stronger. That is insanity, illness. I agree Jim.
TeflonTrout
Geniuses don't marry people who help bring back measles. Fuck Jim Carrey and his wife to death
txcell
I think he's fascinating and is over celebrity culture. But he's detached from the real world and he's an antivaxxer. So not a genius. Just
txcell
2) someone with a unique perspective.
Nommad
He's right. Western society is designed to create profit at the expense of everything else.
MoltarsGhost
I think my brain is the reason I have type 2 bipolar, but ok Jim. Society does suck though, he got that part right.
flibbertyjibbeting
Brilliant comedians like Carrey, Carlin and Williams feel things passionately at both ends of the human spirit measuring stick.
jollyjack
Society is collapsing because people that act like assholes are rewarded (often with simple attention), rather than being curb-stomped.
GraeYstaG237
Not society...america. there is a whole world outside america that works better. We exist.
Slayage
To all the haters in the comments: take the good leave the bad.
broketonystark
This is just one insignificant iteration of an existence designed to distract people from the reality of the human condition. Also, Titties!
ThatNoPicklePeeThatNoPumpARum
Can we please stop putting this anti vaxxer piece of shit on a pedestal?
Hatrax
He's an anti-vaxxer, which makes him a dangerous asshole.
candineret6
There's downsides, but civilatiation evolves, it'll encompass us or make us evolve with it.
Ruhig
Civilization is a product of people. IMO we need to develop it do serve us better socially, rather than just technologically.
whereareyoufrom
But what happens when a group of us believe they’re rights trump ours? When their religion can force us not to have a health procedure?
candineret6
Is all the same, we are in this together, there'll be struggles and wars, for ever, if not for religion or class for something else. 1/2
candineret6
Doesn't it feel like the USA has run out of enemies outside and is turning its eyes on their neighbours? As a society, I mean.
whereareyoufrom
So true
LonelyHumanBoy
We never had enemies abroad, they were always manufactured for our political elite's benefit, and the poor man's gullible hatred.
candineret6
Yes, and they still need that hate to push their agendas, is sad to see how easy it's for polititians to sway our opinion.
LonelyHumanBoy
The only time we actually had enemies were in WWII and the Cold War. after USSR fell though China was the only real threat to the US.
ergrey
Ive said it before: Hollywood do your job and entertain. I dont look to the fringe element for enlightenment.
BehindMyColdEyes
B/C celebrities aren't people who can think for themselves & have freedom of speech? Just don't listen to their opinion if it bothers you.
ergrey
He can flap his cry hole all he wants. I just dont think his opinion holds any more weight because of his wealth or so called talent.
Sinornim
Carrey is right, the western world is too dedicated to money rather then soul, its why cinema is in decline.
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
Weird how all these fabulously wealthy people seem to have all this genius insight
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
But wait he’s got a beard now so he must be down to earth and wise
FallingStar7669
I think people who have been in the public eye for a long time do get some insight into how society works. Or they are corrupted by it...
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
I think they get a very different view of how society works
whereareyoufrom
Nah, every human can teach us all something. We just listen to celebrities.
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
I just feel like celebrities get to that status not by being the smartest or most logical which doesn’t make them the best ppl to learn from
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
Taylor swift telling ppl to follow their dreams cuz it worked for her is like a lotto winner telling you to sell everything & buy lotto tix
whereareyoufrom
Well said. Too many celebrities sell the idea to follow your dreams. I say learn to enjoy any job & do it with pride for a happy life.
ShartistFormerlyKnownAsSPCR
I can’t take credit for it, heard someone else(maybe comedian) say it, just really liked the message
NurgleErik
Also because they reach more people. My posts don’t reach more than a small circle of people who can bear my presence. Mostly. Some.
SweetMissEmmaLee
He's no Carlin.
fbutt09
But what he says is true though. Given that Carlin was a great mind and a comic, Carrey is maybe getting there?
WilsonFisk
What a bizarre comparison. Carlin was a writer/standup, Carrey is a physical comedian/improver. Different worlds.
GannoMemeSlayer
Completely different personalities. Basically polar opposites in comedy when it comes to content but both very successful in their craft.
ravenousj
Carlin was from another dimension.
hellospacemonkey
I don’t think he is trying to be.
getcrazywiththecheezewhiz
Look to David Cross. He may be the closest living example.
iAntichristx666
I’d wager Lewis black is a good runner up, although I don’t believe he’s released much content in quite some time.
LonelyHumanBoy
Isn't he kinda semi-retired at this point? He only came on a few times for Stephen Colbert and Daily show in the last few years IIRC.

thehumanoidsarecoming
Carlin told people voting didnt matter. Even Carlin sucks.
LonelyHumanBoy
Voting technically doesn't matter even now, because the Electoral College is the final say, not the people voting. SC and Congress afterthat
thehumanoidsarecoming
enough boomer shit.
krully
If orange one wins this, than it really doesn't.
thehumanoidsarecoming
He cant win with the current system, he can only try to pull illegal maneuvers to alter the system, which is not a problem with the system..
hewhoknowsnothingbuthowtofish
He can win with the current system, it may take illegal maneuvering, but that’s part of the system, unfortunately.
thehumanoidsarecoming
Do you read what you write or do you just barf feelings. Corruption is endemic to humanity, period.
thehumanoidsarecoming
No form of governance protects us from the never ending attempts to bend the system. We are part of the checks and balances.

We arent meant to spend 3/4's of our lives doing meaningless tasks for numbers on a bank screen. Life should be more than this
Tvtr
How would that work
banz111
If we're depressed, there's something wrong with us. We're never allowed to consider that there's something wrong with the world.
zetsumi16
Life is literally just surviving by whatever means are available to you. Anything beyond that is created by us, not inherently included
InternetAnonymityplz
Technically we spend slightly less than 1/4. 40 he work week, 168 hrs in 7 days. Sure you gotta sleep too, but you still have time for you

My job pays me a huge wad and it’s not too stressful. My revenge for being bullied as a teen for being smart and different.
VodkaReindeer
Sounds like you could benefit from a job in healthcare.
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
Evolutionarily, we are meant to spent 90% of our awake time collecting food. I'd rather do what I currently do for a living.
GuitarCzar
I was just thinking, things are actually pretty good if we can be discontent with something easy like this. Not to say there isn't room
GuitarCzar
For improvement. Just good to have some perspective
IncognitoPanda
This is blatantly false. Hunter/gatherers had fewer work hours than we do

lostlittletimeonthis
If you look at monkeys with good social bonds they don't really spend that much time looking for food, they spend more time grooming others
erikna
But gathering food is what your reward system is built for so it does inherently feel better
NurgleErik
That is because starving and disease feels really bad, which was a normality back in the day. As well as random murders and genocide.
erikna
Your missing my point. Your body is built to produce neurotransmitters like dopamine and endorphins when you eat good food have sex 1/?
erikna
And so on. Nowadays we do that much less so we have to take antidepressants and so on to feel good. I still think modern life is superior
itrynottocommentbutyoumakemecringe
90% Collecting, prepping and eating actually. 9.7 percent sleep .03 sexy sexy. I made this up.
EternalSunshineofthePotlessMind
I think we are supposed to sleep like 30%of our time
itrynottocommentbutyoumakemecringe
Supposed to and max health heights of sleeping are not the same
ShutUpPam
9,7% of our awake time sleeping. I see a problem here
potatoinorbit
I'm ok with it.
Futwick365
Non-famous person says it & they're ignored. Famous person says it & they get accused of trying to get publicity. Society is a shitshow.
thehumanoidsarecoming
It's an oversimplification, and is no different from someone claiming cell phone tower signals are the cause of widespread illness.
ACSwineburne
... no different? Really? Those two things are identical to you? I mean... are you fucking serious? Nice goddamned try, I guess.
thehumanoidsarecoming
Really.

It does help when what you said goes out to more than 20 people....

Technology is evolving much faster than we are. Our brains cannot keep up and process the changes. Add everything else, it's rough going.
whereareyoufrom
I think that’s our sci fi wet dream. The reality is that folks in rural places don’t like the changes of Mexicans moving in & tv/websites

beyond us, it’s used like it always has, to give us excuses to hate one another and those that use it understand it’s power.

Not just Americans. Have you traveled around? It’s a worldwide phenomenon.

I'm definitely not saying take everything JimC says as sound advice. He's talked some right bollocks in the past. Especially anti-vax crap.

I think that's what really annoyed me about the whole Kappernick fiasco. The news ignores non-violent demonstrations, calls anything even1/?
zeusdemigod131
mildly disruptive 'violent and unacceptable', but then decries non-violent protests they CAN'T ignore. How many people were calling for 2/3

Now that is brilliant! Fame does give us a soap box, so kudos to those that use it. Unlike Kanye & rappers looking to keep their taxes low.
GoodbyeSoberDay
That same fame and Twitter soap box also gave us Trump. It's a double edge sword

Oh totally!

Why does it have to be only rappers?
