George is a legend. He wasn’t just a comic he was a philosopher who told the truth

[@Mercer1012]

Calm down. He was not a philosopher. He was a comedian a step above the average one and his shtick is very predictable after a while.

[@Pokeysaurus]

The reason he stays so relevant is because he speaks about the human condition as opposed to current events. “People controlling other people” is timeless from the dawn of civilization.

[@Volyren]

George would be asked about AI art. This is how he'd handle it, I think.
"Oog didn't like Ug's burnt stick. Line not art. Real art make with hand and mud. Line have no personality."
Then he'd pause.
"Rob can't stand the neuralink screenshot. Thats not art. Thats just imagining a picture! Real art takes curated source libraries and carefully constructed syntax!"
Then he'd make a classy fart joke.

[@psistis80]

The sad part is that this was the last we heard about him,before he passed away.Literally.😢

[@Mike-rk8px]

This was filmed in March 2008, he died of heart failure that June. He was halfway through his tour when this was filmed, and he worked almost daily until a week before he died. He was feeling really good, but he had 2 previous heart attacks (one caused by cocaine) and he suddenly felt ill and went to the hospital, but he died quickly and peacefully before they could get him into surgery.

[@DaTruth3454]

[@tattoodude8946]

Carlin was very much a social commentator. He could make it funny, or he could slap you in the face, but you knew it would be relevant. Honestly, if you want to truly understand what is going on in the country and in our society, listen to a lot of comedians. They will always point out the shortcomings and gaps and they will be forthright about it - unlike our politicians!
I quote comedians all the time when taking politics and social issues because, of all the people that speak on these issues, they are the most honest and, usually, make the most sense!

He was never afraid to address the issues we have as a society. Some of these issues run super deep and have been going on for a very long time; and they have become systemic. Call him a comedian; social commentator; philosopher - George had such a command of the English language he was able to use it in a comedic way to help us relate to one another, and make us more aware as humans.

[@vaughnnewman8903]

Got to see him once live, thankfully. He was as much a philosopher as a comedian and was ahead of his time, no doubt.

[@GhostWatcher2024]

As a Christian, i NEVER understood the whole swearing on the Bible thing.... Christianity (including Catholicism) and Judaism is the literal antithesis to idolatry (swearing on and praying to symbols)... one ofnthe Commandments is no engraven images... and yet Catholics have engraven images of saints and praying to statues of Jesus and crucifixes and swearing on Bibles.
If God exists... and afterlife is how Christians believe... and lies are sins... and sins are dealt with in the afterlife... and if God is omnipotent... then why are we swearing on an icon as a promise? Either we're truthful or we're not. YOU dont know wither way. And God DOES know either way Bible or no Bible... who tf are we hiding from?
And if you dont believe in the Bible then what's it matter??
As a Christian I'll never swear on the Bible because that's idolatry.

[@derekangus1354]

In Fowler's Stages of Faith, someone who views God as a "cop in the sky" or believes that God doesn't care for human beings is likely in Stage 2, the "Mythic-Literal" stage, or possibly in Stage 3, the "Synthetic-Conventional" stage.
1. **Stage 2: Mythic-Literal Faith**
- Characteristics: Individuals in this stage tend to take religious stories and metaphors literally. Their understanding of faith is concrete and based on a straightforward, black-and-white view of the world. God might be seen as a powerful, authoritative figure who rewards good behavior and punishes bad behavior.
- Beliefs about God: God as a "cop in the sky" fits well within this stage, as it reflects a literal and simplistic understanding of divine justice.
2. **Stage 3: Synthetic-Conventional Faith**
- Characteristics: This stage is characterized by a more cohesive but still somewhat unexamined belief system, often heavily influenced by one's community and authority figures. Individuals seek to fit in and often adopt the beliefs of those around them without critical examination.
- Beliefs about God: While less literal than Stage 2, this stage might still harbor simplistic views of God and could include the belief that God doesn't care for human beings if such a view is prevalent in their community.
To help someone move beyond these stages, one can encourage critical thinking, personal reflection, and exposure to diverse theological perspectives. This can help them progress to Stage 4, the "Individuative-Reflective" stage, where they begin to take personal responsibility for their beliefs and develop a more nuanced understanding of faith.

[@angusrocks939]

it was changed from "I swear"', to if you don't want to, "I affirm". either or? just make believe you're not lying or covering, or committing perjury. not sure if the hand raised is also still required? but just so long as you say you're not lying we believe you. maybe... unless we think otherwise.

[@Peter-oh3hc]

Because religion and government are supposed to be separated they can't make swear to any god or holy text if you don't want to constitutionally speaking so in case like that they just have your right hand and swear to tell the truth under commitment of perjury, meaning if get caught lying you could be charged with perjury.

[@aztecadog]

Carlins teachings are applicable today and probably forever-
But it’s not just Carlin, the things Marvin Gaye was singing about in the 60’s/70’s are still relevant today, word for word-
Another commonality is people keep voting for the same party, expecting different results-
Typically voting doesn’t matter, but every 100 years or so, we get someone who is outside the establishment and brings needed change- FDR was treated almost as bad as Trump, but his populism allowed him to overcome the then establishments attempts to overthrow him- hopefully history is repeating itself, otherwise we’re in deep trouble

I could be wrong but if I remember right offering your right hand is a sign of honesty. Most people are right handed. Shaking hands with your right hand is a sign you're not carrying a gun in western times since the right hand is the dominant hand anytime you want to portray truth you offer that hand. Same thing with swearing on a Bible.

[@krkhns]

Actually goes back farther than that, but same honesty concept. Its the same reason people in the military salute and countries drive on the left hand side of the road. In medieval times, your right hand was your sword and jousting hand (no lefties allowed). When two knights passed on horseback, they would stay to the left and raise their right hand to show they were unarmed.
