Jimmy's comments about depression are interesting and nuanced. So it's a pity that when it comes to "men's issues" he falls back to lazy mainstream media narratives.
Andrew Tate as "Top G" saw what happened to Peterson and weaponised it, becoming "a 14 year olds idea of masculinity". But I've also seen Andrew Tate "the man" having conversations with multiple hostile feminists and even porn stars, and by the end of the conversation they are mostly agreeing with what he says. There is a difference.
id argue as well that tv has got worse so gamin is at least putting something out
Jimmy Carr preaches that young men should "live in real life".. and then without pausing for breath he says.. "young men are obsessed by video games". This statement tells you that Jimmy Carr does not live in "real life" because that statement is such a broad generalisation that it simply cannot be (and is not) factually true in "real life". Jimmy Carr is as out of touch as any other millionaire. His arrogant stance of claiming to have the answers to other peoples mental health struggles is troubling and embarrassing. Shut up Jimmy. Thanks in advance 👍
The chemical imbalance theory of depression has been scientifically proven to be wrong in the last few years. The is no evidence of a link between depression and serotonin deficiency or anything of the sort. This view is a myth created by pharmaceutical companies. Don't believe me, believe the psychiatrists who have shown this to be the case. I would expect nonsense like this to be challenged on this podcast.
Well, to be fair, I don't think the guests get that much bigger than Jimmy, do you? I mean, if you got the Prime Minister on, or the Archbishop of Canterbury - or the Princess of Wales - I don't really think I would think they were "bigger" than Jimmy. Now if you got Xi Jin Pin or, if we could go back in time, Nelson Mandela - now they ARE bigger. Probably so is Raul Castro or Bill Gates. But anyone who's managed to get Jimmy on, should already consider themselves a success ....
"A 14yr old boy's idea of what masculinity looks like". Spot on.
That's how I see Tom Cruise action films.
And no surprise that 14 year old boys are his biggest fanbase.
He is fighting the government's plan to make people weaker.
And then... 14 yr olds used to be baby sitters; now they need baby sitters.

"It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem." When I left home to commit suicide, the only thing that stopped me was the fear of not seeing my daughter grow up. That permanent solution there is no coming back from. I chose to hang in there another day, a few years later I couldn't be happier.

Enjoy your presentation enormously. No shouting, no over talking, no ego trips, just conversation conversation.
Thank you.
Theres ALWAYS one of these comments lol

No ego trips??? 🤡 Guy is a snooty toss pot. State of him.
I was not even remotely ready for Jimmy Carr being so profound, sharp minded and wise! Always loved the comedy but never really saw him speak in a serious manner. Absolutely blown away!
I had the same reaction. I grossly underestimated him, only thinking of him as a deliverer of jokes. Maybe too many of us view too many people as two-dimensional.
i agree. I've also found some comedians to be profoundly thoughtful and critical of the world.
I'm 50 and this is the first time I've heard Jimmy Carr speak seriously.... and Wow I want to hear more of that Jimmy! He really hits many nails on many heads! Do you want to just 'exist' or do you want to 'live'?
Same, he raised my eyebrows there with his finger of power.
He does this quite a bit if you look for it. Even on comedy podcasts he still speaks the same, when it feels completely out of character for the Podcast he still does it, it seems to stem alot from him being a father
What we need is resilience. I work promoting resilience. It is psychosocial and moving away from mental health models of me me me. It doesn't work. 50 years of this shit of individualism. The US is the most sick. And you all think Jimmy has the key of something. Everybody is a coach these days. If you don't market and promote yourself you are invisible. CEO doesn't invite experts like me to talk. He just wants to talk to celebs. Btw. Hate the term CEO. I know so many people who set up online and call themselves CEO of themselves!
Most successful comedians are pretty smart people. Jimmy clearly is.
Check him out on Joe Rogan's. I expected a 3 hour cast of 2 comedians making dumb jokes but it was a super insightful conversation. Jimmy drops amazing gems.
"14 year olds used to be babysitters ...now they need babysitters" ...OUCH. TOO TRUE.
There is a market for that & some have found it for $$$ etc. personal reasons.
It’s so true and that’s the sad reality..
Yeah when 14 year olds used to be babysitters bad bad shit happened. Look it up.
@@adug9725 I don't really think it is true to be honest. I don't have kids, but I teach and have nieces and nephews and they all seem pretty mature for their ages to me. They might talk about stuff that I don't relate to, but in terms of actual maturity, they seem fine to me.

Being a man isn’t a rule book as such it’s learnt behaviour. It’s your time to teach your sons how your dad taught you and so forth. There are plenty of positive male and female role models out there.

Blown away by Jimmy Carr’s depth of mind here. Well done lads.
Jimmy needs to do more serious talks like this, he's very good!
Its not a surprise, its great to see the serious side to some comedian, they are often very intelligent.
He's actually a trained therapist
I agree about his views on Tate. But he is clearly not a good-natured person, speaking in general. Jokingly saying that Romani's being systematically mordered and experimented on in WW2 was "a good thing"? And, no, it's not "just a joke". Anyone who says that doesn't actually understand how comedians work. Not saying he legit thinks what happened in WW2 was good per say. But he's certainly supportive of the current anti-Romani culture and even gnocldaI tendencies of Europeans today. Not to mention he has also been accussed of entering womens' changing rooms and staying there for no reason other than to enjoy the view. Everything about him rubs me the wrong way, even if he makes some good points.
@@TD1237accused doesn't mean fact does it. Also who the fuck cares about his political views when lately politics is ALL corrupt. People like you need to worry about your leaders views and not a pissing comedian.
Yes, but no. He is a great critical thinker and his words easily resonate. At the same time he is a genius comedian. We do not want to lose that side. I admire his logical intelligence, but I adore his ruthless takedowns and amazing sense of humour. 👍
The description of Trump and Tate were spot on ! That’s the difference when an intelligent and insightful person takes charge. God bless Jimmy Carr
Did CNN tell you to think that 😂
Most people who get their information from poor sources like MSM have no clue about Tate and what he actually encourages and influences young men to do.
Bullshit, this guy has no testosterone. Trump is not taken only as a rich person, but the leader and president. Andrew Tate is what every man that wants to achieve his goals and dreams should do.( Respect, Friends, Money and beautiful woman)
It's a reductionist approach. It's not quite accurate but it is a funny simplistic line to draw 🤷🏻♂️

Wow hid my reply, so much for free speech..
I met Jimmy one day in Belfast at the airport, he was an absolute gentleman. He had me laughing the whole queue to the flight. Lovely fella!
Was great to hear Jimmy Carr talk some truth about Andrew Tate. A 14yr olds idea of what masculinity looks like - BANG ON!
I bet Carr doesn’t even know what Andrew Tates messaging even is. He’s just going by what the mainstream thinks of him . Any guy that watched Tate would nod his head in agreement at about 60% of what he says .. there’s a good reason why Tates messaging is alluring to young boys - he doesn’t sugarcoat everything with lame PC messaging
@@brianmeen2158 there’s plenty better role models than Andrew Tate for young lads. The guys a loser, I know exactly what you’re gonna say to that comment but I don’t care. Anyone who needs to turn to fast cars and flashy things to prove their sense of worth is a loser.
My friend is a priest, he once told me the church cannot answer your questions, but being a part of a community that attends church might help you meet people and in doing so give you a group where your questions might be answered.
Great advice.
Yep, a group that believes that the outgroup will burn in hell, and that lies to kids in order that they lose critical thinking ability so that the group won’t be challenged. A nice group indeed.
@@wanderingtravellerAB99 depends on the church.... my friend is a Canon of the Episcopalian faith...
I'm all for being part of a community, but I'd prefer to stay away from one that brainwashes people (especially children) with superstitious nonsense.

I never liked his comedy that much but seeing him in interviews over the past few years, I am blown away by his breadth of knowledge and insightful observations.

Sorry , I have to comment again . Jimmy's second half of this conversation is so accurate . The modern 'online' environment can be very damaging if left unchecked . Thank you again .
Jimmy Carr is the intelligent comedian Russell Brand wishes he was. And for all of Jimmy Carr's rude, racy, raunchy, and politically incorrect humor, Jimmy isn't out here full of hate, or prejudice, or trying to actually punch down - unlike some comedians out here, including ones I previously respected. When it comes to Jimmy Carr, it really is JUST A JOKE. And the more I hear him speak in interviews like this, the more fond of him I grow as person - as does my respect for him.
Even when he’s politicially incorrect he manages to make the joke itself the punchline in some way, like the fact that he can make the joke is the joke itself
@@nightsgrow6575 yes, that is true too! Also, he sometimes enjoys scolding and teasing his audience - playfully, of course - for enjoying his really off-color jokes. I think a lot of the time, he's just pushing people's buttons. He tells offensive jokes just to tell them, to playfully offend... but with no actual animosity behind the joke. I consider myself "woke" - or as we were being called five years ago, a "social justice warrior" - both of which I wear as a badge of honor. But even being a woke social justice warrior toggaF who despises bigotry and misogyny, I love those kinds of jokes... as long as there's no actual animosity behind the words. If the comedian, or even just a regular person just trying to be funny/humorous, has actual prejudice or feelings of distaste/disgust towards the marginalized group that their "comedy" is about... then THAT is when I have a problem.
I guess intelligence, to you, is agreeing with your world views. And saying Brand is full of hate is one of the most ridiculous statements I've heard in a while
I'd say Brand is smart and opportunistic. He also likes to hear himself speak to the point where he uses his eloquence to satisfy himself. Verbally fapping, if you will
Scanned that as Russell Howard, not Brand, nearly ranted.
Having re-read? Couldn't agree more.
As a Gen X teacher, parent, mentor, I found this insightful and resonant.
Good for you
Because you lot caused most of this on the basis that your parents were too hard on you so you overcorrected with endless 'compassion'! I kid, but also I don't, because you're generation birthed the zoomers.
Gen x teacher here to agree.
Who are you a mentor to?
I am very impressed with jimmy Carr. I didn't know he had such depth to him. Great conversation.
He’s a very very clever guy
He's really opened up over the last few years. He talks about it in other interviews.
Have a look at his "Blocks" podcast with Neal Brennan
He didn't go in depth on covid issues. Just said if you didn't roll up your sleeve you're an idiot.
i often find that (good) comedians are extremely smart. and they have to be. they need to know the world and understand people, know the lines of moral society so they can find the humor in it, then they have to be good storytellers too.
@@mattoniy2840 Till it comes to an experimental vaccine.
Listening to guys like Jimmy Carr, Ricky Gervais and others speak so profoundly about such serious topics must get us to think what a strong correlation is between humor and intelligence.
Except neither are very good stand-ups. Put them against people like Carlin and it's obvoius.
Your statement is intensely ignorant. You have very little understanding of what comedy is. Carlin was a genius, but his style and what he did is so different compared to Gervais and Carr, it's nearly apples and oranges. Gervais I would give you, but he changed comedy forever with The Office.
Some comics are quite intelligent. Some aren't. That's a broad statement.
@@odeegrotsniffer4166 You’ve no idea what you’re talking about. The Office was derivative of The Larry Sanders Show, as even Gervais has admitted. To suggest it “changed comedy forever” only illustrates how little you know. Gervais is an objectively terrible stand up, and Carr isn’t much better. Truly great stand ups like Carlin or CK wipe the floor with them. But you have to have a few brain cells to get it.
Jimmy's analysis of where we are today is spot on. I think kids should always be given the time to be kids, to be carefree and to play. That being said, we also need to acknowledge that your kid doesn't go to bed as a child one night, then wake up as an adult. Turning 18 might mean that they're legally an adult, but becoming an adult is a process that starts before 18 and crucially, continues after they are 18.
If we're not giving them responsibilities, testing their capabilities and their limits and trusting them with at least some decisions, then they are not going to learn. If you're not actively parenting them and getting involved in their life, they will get their influences elsewhere and from people who are less than ideal as role models.
Maybe the most important starting point is to ask ourselves how we felt as kids? How did our parents do? Can I apply the good parenting skills my mum and dad had, and make sure I pass that on to my kids? Equally, can I also use my experience of any negative aspects of their parenting as examples of what not to do? Even the best parents make mistakes, but using them to do better is how we all become better.
Jimmy's so smart and articulates things brilliantly
He is exactly like Andrew Tate but just the posh version

I’m sitting here, at 8am, on a balcony watching the sunrise and this video pops up. Just marvellous 🤩
Jimmy Carr is one of the funniest comedians of all time. But it is times like this when even the funniest people out there get serious when you realize the importance of something. That's what I like about him. He knows when there is a serious issue and gets right to addressing it.
I love video games, always have. But, I had a rule that I’ve always stuck to. If I was playing on the PS and a mate messaged or called (back in the day) to go out, play footy, basketball and later go the pub. I’d always go, I’d never let video games get in the way of real social interaction.
Yep. They're a great backup fun.
100%, we all have free time and i'd rather play some games than watch a TV series. But social life comes first.
Same here. Video games are my first love when it comes to entertainment and media, but I always like to go for a walk or go to lovely places in the countryside with my mum and brother, or the whole family if possible or meet up with my friends who also adore video games. I’ll always love them, probably a bit too much, but I do like getting out every now and again.
That goes with anything, and videogame are not special when it comes to forms of entertainment people escape reality from in. Before games people watched TV, and before that used books to get lost in alternate fantastical realities to experience things they would not irl, escapism has been a thing for ages, and is not the cause of what is happening these days, rather more a symptom.
What happened when every mate that was supposed to call to go out, loved video games so much that they never made the call? I think you know... Video games are an escape and that's where their danger comes from. The solution to this drug is not to drop it when someone calls. The solution to it it to set a limit for it (let's say 1 hr a day) and then be the person that makes the call. When you all put it on your mates to make that call to go out and socialize, it's just a matter of time before you become a game addict with a good excuse. If you are not one, already...
One of the best breakdowns of what is wrong with the modern world. I have a new respect for Jimmy Carr. I always thought he as a good comedian but this, as well.
Never heard him be sincere before. This was really nice.
that was the first interview I have seen with Jimmy Carr, which was on a more serious note. I really enjoyed it, props.
Really fantastic and thought provoking interview. Jimmy Carr’s appearances on DOAC are always great.
Tons of gems in this
I listened for the first minute and YES! I’m so glad to hear someone influential talking like this and taking the action to actually correct the claim ”depression is thinking yourself too much”! Thinking yourself too much is a syptom of depression (illness), not the reason.
This conversation encapsulates everything I've been thinking about over the last few years regarding where we're headed as a society. Wonderful clip, very thoughtful, thank you.
this was one of the best yet jimmy is brilliant.
I need to listen to the full episode, this is an interesting episode. Dropping gems 🎉
Lovely. Great insert from the interview. Covering some real strong valid points to life today and society. Thanks for posting. I’ll go to Spotify and listen to the rest.
Great video, really appreciated the level of directness and it was exactly what I needed to hear today. The world is a pretty brutal place, we fundamentally need each other to survive and if we're not equipping our kids with not only the tools to function in life but also the wisdom that going it alone isn't the answer then we're doing them a massive disservice. I think that is one of the root causes of where we are at the moment societally, the current generation of young adults have not been given the tools and wisdom to be able to function. I especially thought the comment about "14 year olds used to be baby sitters but now they need baby sitters" was excellent and tragically true. Also agree with the fact that becoming a parent is like starting a completely new life, it's amazing but I'm a completely different person now! Thanks for sharing, this message needs to sink in for more people.
Honestly one of the best videos I’ve ever watched. My respect for Jimmy Carr just shot up!!
I completely agree with him. Live in the moment. I’m 30 now and 2 years ago I deleted Facebook and instagram and started living now!

Jab pushing tosser.
When he’s had enough of doing the one-liners, Jimmy has a serious comedy career ahead of him as a philosophical social commentator.
I am surprised, but he is saying nothing new. We all knew the destruction from internet, mobile phones and porn. He is just adding it all up.
That's called a comedian
@@nicopillay4059 That is a comedian, of which there are many types. Jimmy has the depth of thought and insight to go in a somewhat different direction. Not all comedians are or could do that. I think he would be well received if he chose a different path.
But that’s what comedians do. Look at Bill Hicks.
@@EdwinOudenes
Just because something is obvious and nothing new.. talking about it all won't impress anyone.
Common knowledge, taking the obvious for granted and being aware of the assumptions that we all agree on, that's one thing - but then also having the intelligence to organise and understand it, talk about it's implications and being able to articulate it, back it up and then transmit it to someone else. That's a real skill.
Honestly, gotta admit that I was expecting a different type of video reading the title. Very glad that it turned out to be a very reflected and smart conversation, I enjoyed it a lot!
I loved how Jimmy explained the issues that kids are experiencing, including myself (a 26 year old kid lol) who are using TH-cam to learn how to do things such as shaving. We should be learning these tasks through our Fathers, how to tie a tie correctly, change tyres, build etc. My Father is an alcoholic narcissist, he taught me how to tie my shoe laces so I'll give him props for that...
My son just turned 1, I've been self teaching all the "man" stuff (along with lots of teachings from my Father in law) and I am excited to teach my son everything I know. Should there be things I don't know, then heck we'll both watch TH-cam together and bond through laughter and learning.
It's exactly what Jimmy said. Tate is like a teen's fantasy of what a man is like.
The problem is not with Tate, but with the reaction to him. Everything said in relation to Tate is about him and how he says things, rather than addressing the things he actually says. The idiocy of ad hominem is so prevalent in society, that no one seems to notice when it is all about the person and not the subject matter. If Hitler said the sky was blue, the fact that he was an abhorrent tyrant does not change the fact that the sky is indeed blue.
As for him being a man; I doubt that many of his detractors could survive three months of solitary confinement in a Romanian prison
@@elvisleeboy Harsh but true
True. Most teens could only fantasize about reaching Tate's level.
@FrankLucas-pw5hs I see you must be one of the "tater tots"
100 fucking percent dude, YIN AND YANG! There is black in the white and white in the black! Nothing is ever 100% this or 100% that, i don't know everything about Tate, but i have heard him say a lot of really great inspiring things like work hard and exercise. But people get emotional instead of listen to the words and discern for themselves @elvisleeboy If more people actually worked really hard at something and started exercising, the world would be a better place. But people throw that message in the bin in favour of being a tribal victim hater.
that was a great point about sadness vs depression.
Yup. Like a ankle sprain and a badly broken leg . No comparison. And sadness and unhappiness can be improved , clinical depression is extremely diffucult to treat if it's biological and not circumstancial
Very insightful. I’ve always enjoyed Jimmy Carrs comedy but I’ve never seen him be so serious and insightful. He’s spot on with everything he said.

It's a giant cycle of inequality, insecurity, mental illness, lack of introspection, occupational/life direction, and handling the nuance of humanity with goodness, badness, and inbetweenness. Lol, that last word made me laugh.
Teach them partners are not commodities
That explanation by Jimmy of sadness vs depression, of being sad because things aren’t going like we liked vs serotonin imbalance… a few weeks ago I went to my brothers for the weekend and forgot my antidepressants, on the second day without them I was catching myself almost crying from time to time for no reason (well, there was, imbalance), just like I was before starting them. Yeah, that explanation really hit home.

That’s a great line about 14yr olds and babysitting, I used to babysit for neighbours in the 70s, but nowadays you wouldn’t dream of asking a neighbour’s 14yr old to do the same, for many many obvious reasons. Neighbourly networks of trust and responsibility have gone. People’s families now no longer live in the same streets for generations, because of having to move away because of lack of work. I for example now live over 300 miles away from my octogenarian parents.
I doubt people are getting babysitters for 14 year olds. What are they afraid will happen? Those 14 year olds have cellphones. It’s easier now to leave them at home cause they’ll be occupied by the internet rather than getting up to no good.
@@Gee3Ohthe 14 year old is the babysitter.
@@VamLoveAndKisses The guest says 14 year olds need babysitters in the video.
Either way my point still stands. In what way is a 14 year old less responsible than in the past when they have cellphones now? They can contact parents, contact emergency, google advice and even order food using parents credit card. There’s no reason they can’t babysit now if they were able to before.
@@Gee3Oh I couldn’t agree more and 14yr old nowadays don’t need babysitting themselves, (I think that was a throwaway quip from Jimmy and not to be taken as serious) also all your points are valid and true, but a neighbour will still be extremely unlikely to ask nowadays because of social mistrust, a family member on the other hand…
Cell phones do not = responsible. More likely the opposite.
It's rare a video leaves me awestruck. So much wisdom and insight packed into 9 minutes, and a lot of it I felt at my core. I don't think these words will leave me, and I have some introspection to do about my own life, and the life I want for my kids.
Absolute whiplash of a clip. I agree 100% with about 50% of his points and think rest is nonsense. Video games can be a proxy for career for sure. I've made my days feel less pointless by playing wow while unemployed. Video games can also conjure genuine emotions and reveal fundamental truths and wisdom about what it means to be a person and the mysteries of the universe. I understand he is making a point but dismissing video games in it's entirety because of wow, cod, candy crush or raid shadow legends is like dismissing Citizen Kane or Shawshank or whatever because reality TV exists. Anyway. The idea of wealth having replaced heavin is profound and may have changed my outlook on life forever if only a little bit.
Thank you for your time! Peace!
FWIW I think he was talking about an emotional addiction to video games -- living through them by proxy. Not the same as having a fulfilling real life and using video games as a way to relax or explore.
He’s really good at expressing himself so clearly and getting his thoughts across
Some really well thought out points there
Wow! What a valuable conversation. Never heard Jimmy Carr speak seriously before ….. that was so refreshing to listen to.
Thank you! ❤️
Jimmy was so spot on with this clip. It's a saved clip, this will get forwarded on for sure.
He's bang on about the shift in society. You can learn to shave and tie a tie from someone on TikTok. We used to leave our 5 yr old kids with a 14 yr old nephew/niece/neighbour, etc. Now we need to get babysitters for our 14 yr old kids. A huge shift has changed in the growth of our youth. They are so fixated on digital content, they are missing out on the fundamentals of growing up. And you could do all the right things by your own children. But the mob-movement of all the other kids around your kids, could still influence your kids to become like them. When I look ahead, I think of things like "I want to live in a cul-de-sac where I get along with all the parents, we have all similar age of kids, and we work together to get them out of the house.". But that's a fantasy nowadays.
Newer generations are never as bad as the older ones think they are.. There are super sweet and educated Teenagers out there. And TikTok is not just dancing and bull****, it's also a lot about mental health, actually there is just any topic. It depends on how you use it.
news flash: the previous gen raised the new one
@@NoisyHill_ That information about mental health can be manipulated, construed or just blatantly lied about on TikTok. Anybody can make a video on TikTok about anything.. that's the point being made. So that information that is supposed to be helpful to teenagers, turns out to be harmful, instead of actually seeing a professional about it.
We're still in the infancy stage of being in a world totally online all the time , and we still don't know what those consequences are to a human being long term. I see the positives in it, but Ít's obviously taken a toll on society as a whole.
I actually feel more disconnected than I did before it all took off even though it's easier than ever to contact someone. People that are born into social media and being online from birth... I wonder what that's doing to kids growing up when they don't have basic human social interaction skills for the real world.
Jimmy Cars mind is a gift for us all.
calm down
Great interview. Thanks both.
What an absolutely amazing video. So insightful, I had no idea Jimmy Carr was this brilliant.
Tate is a 14 year old boys idea of masculinity….Best line of the interview
Jimmy just said everything Andrew Tate says almost exactly but just in a posher way. Even down the video games comparison and Christopher Hitchens reference 😂 I’m sure jimmy has watched some Tate interviews
@@jboogienohoodie7477That’s because these things are common sense, they are just 2 people who have happened to put them into words.
This is a new thing that because 2 people happened to have the same idea, they must agree on everything is something I’ve never seen until recently
@@aaaa-xf3hx I don’t think it’s common sense. It’s actually quite smart and insightful
@@jboogienohoodie7477Funny, I dont recall Jimmy claiming women shouldnt be allowed to drive or telling men to be a part of his pyramid scheme.
@@jboogienohoodie7477my point still stands, they disagree on this one subject. It doesn’t mean they’re similar men
Wise decent man. Wish we had lots of this guy , the world would be much better. Love his beautiful English accent.
Excellent excerpt. I haven't listened to the show before, but I'll check the full episode. This was a lot of insightful takes on important topics.
Men don't teach you how to be a man, women do. As the son of a single mother, I learned how to be a man from her by listenjng to her stories about the best and worst men in her life. It taught me who I didn't want to be and who I definitely wanted to be. I have learned from the women in my life the kind of man I want to be.
Losing everything except for food, shelter, and family at the age of 28 was the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. It helped me realize that the rest of my needs are individual to me and that I needed to stop chasing someone else's homeostasis.
Bro! Sage words. It’s something a lot of us need to realise.
Homeostasis?
@@phoenixrising5088 essentially the body’s neutral state. Could be described as hormonal equilibrium.

Jimmy Carr
This is such a wonderfully productive conversation. Massive respect for Jimmy for his takes here.
wow, i love Jim Carr even more now. never heard him talk seriously, and he is amazing.
Damn- I’m seeing Jimmy Carr this Wednesday in Portland, Maine.
-very psyched
Pity you have to be in such a shithole country to see him, enjoy.
This needs millions more views. Get it shared and liked.
Jimmy carr is an amazing comedian. His oratory and explanatory abilities are stunning.
Absolute gold from Jimmy. Insightful & telling it like it is not how we'd like it.
I'm slightly taken back by Jimmy's eloquence and who and what he cites. Didn't expect that at all.
Deep and wonderful, how surprising and impressive Jimmy is.
I suffered from PTSD due to a horrific childhood history of physical/mental trauma from my monster / psycho father...
....I adopted the carnivore diet 4yrs ago...&...My depression flew away!!!...Imagine my pleasant surprise...There is no downside to this primal diet
Jimmy Carr is a very talented comedian, has his own unique style (and laugh!). And he’s also very astute, insightful and erudite. As for that tax scandal years ago - well, who wouldn’t do everything they legally could to reduce their tax total! There are big differences between tax evasion and tax avoidance and tax reduction. Thank you Mr. Carr for this interview.
This is insanely good. I like this version of Jimmy Carr.
Super intelligent guy. He’s a philosopher for our time.
A philosopher doesn't push covid jabs
Is he really though? I’m not really hearing anything profound
haha, do be serious.
@@dorkbrandon4422 No, only someone with a rudimentary knowledge of public health advocates vaccination.
I knew Jimmy would have a good take on this. Nothing but respect for Jimmy. He's speaking truth and he's obviously thought a lot about all of it.
We may be in a vacuum of elders, but as far as I'm concerned, Jimmy is my internet dad
Thank you gentlemen for this Video . Well articulated .
Jimmy, thank you for correcting him on depression. You’re awesome.
Depression can be caused by circumstances
That would imply that circumstances can cure it, which is Jimmy’s point
@owenselby3108 sometimes it does. There are 2 different kinds of depression, chemical, situational or a combo. Like you can have a bereavement that triggers a bout of depression but the depression lasts 3 years and is clinically diagnosed and required meds and therapy. There can be a trigger and it can be situational and still be a clinical issue -that's valid
@owenselby3108 he seems to say all depression is chemical and not caused by circumstances at all and that is one kind of depression but it isn't the only one. There are environmental factors which make you more vulnerable/predisposed to depression -poverty being one. Also many with terminal illnesses become depressed. Situational depression is a thing and just because it has a obvious trigger doesn't mean it's not a mental illness. Things can be understandable and still be chronic. Like is someone was abused for a decade in childhood severely, has a long history with sexual abuse and d/a relationships has a substance abuse problem and is homeless and stuff no one would be surprised they are depressed, and yes prob if they weren't homeless and poor and had suffered abuse and bereavement they prob wouldn't be depressed but if they are self harming and suicidal and have attempted before, yes it is still classed as depression, just as a example
@owenselby3108 depression is also common in people who are unemployed. If depression was never situational, bereavement, poverty, unemployment wouldn't be common cited triggers for depression but they are..
@@owenselby3108 Unfortunately, the damage can't always be reversed.
Fantastic video!!
Andrew tate is a great example of how social media can be used.
Even within one platform people can get different posts/content from the same person.
One person is getting posts about taking responsibility, being respectful and another is getting told that being a man means women work for you and they do what you tell them, they owe you.
The person pushing out these two messages gets income from two groups of people, people who would never follow/donate to the person of they received the other message. The algorithm manages this to maximise income.
It gets worse when multiple platforms are involved as that allows the groups to be separated even more.
So profound. I did not expect this from Jimmy.
Depression can cause suicide. It's a silent killer. Be gently when talking about mental health. Thank you.
I lost my dad and father in law from suicide.
Sorry to hear that.
I lost my neice to suicide. Then 4months later, her boyfriend killed himself. My other neice and her sister turned to drink and drugs, died 8 years later in a house fire. My poor sister lost both her children and when she was diagnosed with cancer, she had no fight and just gave up and died. The whole family just gone. And it started with that suicide. I am certain had that not happened, all would be alive today.
It's the worse thing to happen.
How are you doing today?
I really enjoy jimmy's comedy. What I enjoy even more is catching comedians I like have real conversations and realizing how intelligent they are.
Thank you!!
The one thing I can never understand is any push back against video games. I'm 35, I've been playing them since I was like 6 years old and I consume video games the same way I do TV shows, music, movies etc. It's a medium for entertainment. Of course people shouldn't be spending 75h a week gaming but I'd wager the vast majority of people are like me, they enjoy hopping into another world for a bit, the same as you enjoy a movie for 2h to be entertained. Gaming doesn't have to be this big philosophical thing he's making it out to be lol.
You're not who he's talking about then
Sure, and some people take drugs and drink alcohol in moderation. But that doesn't mean they are not addictive and dangerous. And teenagers are not known for their wisdom or moderation.
The point isn't that video games are bad. The point is that video games can become a substitute for real life.
@@David_K_ Which is a crazy concept when you check X or turn on the news and there are thousands of people treating life like GTA
One of the worst type of Internet comment is thinking something that isn't about you and what you do is attacking you.
Bro your clips rock!
Well said! Thats why Jimmy is a such a great standup comedian. He knows so much more than his bits
