Louis CK Reveals Humanity’s Insanity Perfectly
by Joe Martino
Louis CK speaks about human selfishness and our habitual nature of destroying our planet in a way that is not only comical but immensely relatable. Sometimes I think comedy (or even film) is a great way to spread a message, and yet other times I think that if we joke about a thing we are less likely to take it seriously… maybe it depends on the person?
The example Louis gives of the driver in the car is great! We’ve all seen it happen. The person who just starts pulling their way into traffic in such a way as to say “screw you, I’m doing this and if you don’t like it, too bad.” For many people, it’s one thing to look at another driver, make eye contact, and signal your intent, but it’s another to blatantly ignore everyone and cut in because we selfishly don’t want to have to go forward and turn around. In essence we hold up 100 people just so we can get our way!
The very fact that we have other, easier, and safer options yet don’t take them because we think only of ourselves is odd.
Why Do We Get Mad For No Reason?
On the flip side, it’s funny to think that this kind of behaviour makes us so angry. We’ve all been there, we’ve all made mistakes, and yet when someone asks you to help them correct their mistake we get angry, take their actions personally, and say screw you back. Why do we do this?!!
