Dont let her read blood meridean, her awe would turn to mold real quick

I loved it when he said "It's McCarthying time!" and started McCarthying all over those guys

1:18 this comment & it's response shows she was kinda out of her league here

Actually the unconscious mind is the bulwark for a healthy conscience mind. If you cannot enter into this samadhi state which disconnects one from the ego, your mental & physical health suffers. Indeed during MANY NDEs the VOID is encountered=the unconscious mind. Just beneath the unconscious is your SUPERCONSCIOUS MIND/GOD.

A true voice of the Pacific Northwest.

Could Doperah be any more annoying? Anyone who takes her as a cultural arbiter is lost.

How is Oprah the person interviewing this guy?

Oprah's comments and asides are shockingly stupid.

Subconscious is older than his muse too…

2:05 when he looks at us and said 😱

Well. This is awkward.

This man is the murderer of america

"too much" doesn't apply to titties or horsepower. You are welcome. Hurting your sensitive feelings took your mind off of the fact that we are a week away from the 2024 Presidential election. No matter which you prefer, you are either getting a brain dead, clapped out, meat curtain dumpster fire or "but MuH HiTlEr and his mEaN TwEeTeRs".

Oprah winces visibly in pain at 1:52 at his response lmfao

Why is it that on one of the extremely few occasions Cormac decides to do an interview it's with someone as thoughtlessly obtuse and shallow as Oprah Winfrey?

AND MY 07 SUPERSNAKE RAN 10.87 AT 134 MPH WHEN IT WAS TESTED

AND I HAVE SEEN THE 13 14 SUPERSNAKES RUN HIGH 9S AT MORE THAN 140MPH IN THE QUATER MILE

AT THE CRANK ITS WELL OVER 900HP AND THE TQ HERE IS ONLY 30 MORE LBS OF TQ THAN MY 2010 KENNY BELL SUPERSNAKE

Exactly. There is nothing complicated about what he says. But it does not relate to anything sensible that can be evaluated.

Absolute gibberish. Nonsense.

Is this the full version?

Nice! He’s basically espousing Marvin Minsky’s society of mind theory

Who's the mathematician he was talking about?

What's amazing is how dumb Oprah is next to Cormac

I did a little writing and I always figured the subconscious did the writing cuz the next day when I reread the text I previously wrote, I was reading it for the first time and very curious to know what happened next...

That toothpaste story remained me of an old Blondie comic in the newspaper, when Dagwood in front of the bathroom sink yells to Blondie, were out of toothpaste, and she yells back, there's always a squeeze or 2 left in the tube, and he says to himself, yeah but I've been trying to get those the last few days.

1:20 The 'Subconscious' in the title is incorrect. Everyone, including the late Mr.McCarthy, knew there can be no such thing... it is purely the 'unconscious'.

friendly reminder that oprah hangs out with human traffickers.

The way he talks about the subconscious is like that SpongeBob episode where he dumps everything for fine dining. 😂 The office of cubicle worker spongebobs frantically searching through files for his name. 😂

I think Oprah’s sheer presence liberated McCarthy in this interview. Her beauty humility and gentle humour, encouraging him to expand. So for those critics saying ‘ I wish it was c X…’ interviewing, don’t underestimate her presence for drawing him out.

Oprah does not understand why someone wouldn't care about money. It just doesn't compute in her brain.

What a bum

This conversation reminds me of a story the singer-songwriter Townes Van Zandt used to tell. He said that he had a bad flu and he took some narcotic cough syrup and went to sleep. In the middle of the night he had a very lucid dream of being onstage singing a song. In the dream he heard the words, the melody and all and he woke up and turned on the lamp and scratched the words down and went back to sleep. In the morning he woke up and still remembered the melody and went and played the complete song to Guy and Susanna Clark-his best friends. He didn’t have to change anything the song stayed just like he’d dreamt it. The song was “If I Needed You”, a beautiful, beautiful song. Another example is Tom Petty spoke of sitting in his little home recording studio one day messing around and he started playing some chords and hit record and in real time his song “Wildflowers” just came out of him onto the tape. He didn’t “write” or “craft” the song, it just came out of him without him thinking about what he was singing. He said for a week or two afterward he kept listening the song over and over certain that it couldn’t be any good or that there must be something wrong with it but it was in fact almost perfect just the way it came out. And that ended up being one of the best songs from a guy who wrote a pile of great songs. So what Cormac is talking about here is really true…our subconscious can do amazing things and it really is a complete mystery how it works. Where does it come from? What the hell even is it?

Oprah is straight out attacking him. Wtf?

But she stood on the heads of those little peoples....😂

Was Oprah just roaring him the whole time?

Every time I disparage the intelligence of the interviewer ability to create a narrative. It’s removed

Cormac is a fine writer but he's misusing subconscious. What he means is unconscious, which is accessible to conscious mind, whereas the unconscious is not. For example, you can't recall a word, and then ten minutes later you do, because it was available in the subconscious. Content in the unconscious is never accessible except perhaps in dreams in a symbolic form. Childhood traumas deeply repressed are not available, thus the difficulty faced by therapists when treating trouble patients.

She's the worst

To be fair, Oprah only said “poor” five times in this 4 and a half minute long video. And the subtle look of contempt on her entitled face when she questioned his writing about being exclusively from the perspective of men. Nothing more important than that…

Gifted writer, on par with Shakespeare IMHO, who also was poor in his early writing career. Both offered great insights and observations of the human condition. I hope the passage of time brings him greater recognition and appreciation. He deserves that.

I read The Road which I enjoyed. I haven't read any of his other books, but he has his own unique style of writing.

Oprah: “…Yeah…”

Amazing how many of these ideas are in The Passenger/Stella Maris. Almost verbatim. Goes to show how long he’s been asking these questions, only to find more questions. Rest in peace, Cormac.

So your a white misogamist basically? Let’s talk about how poor you were since I write books for my audience because I’m Oprah !!!! …. Where the hell does a woman fit into a story like the Road , or the judge finds a woman to settle down with & change his ways & becomes a father . She can’t come close to his orbit …

I’m surprised He’s even talking to Oprah on literature & life … toothpaste? Is that the best she can come up with ?

Great writer, but a tough interview. I saw him on Lawrence Krauss's podcast, and it was like pulling teeth. But I reiterate, great writer.

only a true gentleman would counter the offensive and uncultured stupidity displayed by the garland-destroying monkey on stage left and her incessant and unrelenting turdwave feminasal anal banality with his soft spoken answers and that FU posture.

I don’t see how the unconscious could be older than language, since language is, to my mind, essentially what defines us as Subjects. But of course, the two are _intimately_ related (parapraxis/slips, jokes, stutters, the signifying chain, etc).

The sunconscious thinks with symbols and communicates with them too.
