Adam Carolla

What I'm saying when I talk about revolution and why that revolution has a spiritual component is the first thing that needs to happen is people need to believe again that it's possible to change the world.

No one thinks it's possible.

Most people think we're on an inevitable train carrying us towards death, which is actually true for each of us and maybe true for all of us at once, the way things are going some days.

but no one in at the moment thinks actually generally it could be different why can't we be participants in the community that's meaningful like yes you'd have to give up some superficial comfort yes it might in some ways be harder and slower and more boring and not perfect but that thing you described in the beginning adam meaning a feeling that what you do matters that you as a result of what you've done people are eating food or sitting on a chair or living a life instead of

just endless pontification and pointless conversation and aspiring to be an influencer on a platform that might not exist in a day or be out of fashion by tea time.

It's a kind of involuntary nihilism we're all living within.

And I want out.

Well, I'll tell you something.

The idea of righteousness is that you're in right relationship to the world.

For you to be in right relationship to the world, you do have to accept some universal principles, even to accept the idea of truth or justice.

You're in a roundabout way saying God is real because otherwise you're siding with the postmodernists who say, well, there is no such thing as truth, really.

There's just all of our subjective experiences.

When you say that about men being precarious or vulnerable if they don't have a skill and the unlikelihood of there being a riot of a union electrician who just took the day off to punch Mr. Ed, square up the gullet, I think it's a fair observation, Adam.

But in my country, say, in the 1980s where there was a shift in industry because Margaret Thatcher, again, in a way the exception that proved the rule, she was a

a woman who was extremely powerful and terrifying in that power actually and perhaps because of her being a singular example of the phenomena that you're describing that if it becomes a plethora if it becomes a multitude is terrifying one powerful woman margaret thatcher what a brilliant and interesting anomaly

A cast of women in new bureaucratic positions given power that the state or the empire say we should all crave, political power.

Its results are interesting.

And, yeah, I'd like to expand on what you're saying there about George Orwell saying they're the most ferocious.

As Rudyard Kipling wrote, the female of the species is more deadly than the male.

i'm one of them men that didn't grow up getting an apprenticeship or learning i could have done actually because they were doing it in my school metal work woodwork they were doing all that stuff and all that time all i was thinking about was smoking weed i missed out i was an idiot it's my own fault there's no one to blame i could have those skills but it does feel precarious and it does feel vulnerable
