Carlin's entire schtick was anti-intellectual platitudinous. He reminds me of Trump with a sense of humor.
Which jokes of his are anti-intellectual?
For starters, his famous "think of how dumb the average person is, half of people are dumber than that."
Only a small percent of people would be perceptibly below average. Like single digits. It's circlejerk humor.
And as far as humor goes, I think he's great. Just not a genius nor a prophet.
It's not though. But I like your take on it, except you butchered it lol
Or can you substantiate that claim with broader context? I can't remember the setup to the premise.
I guess we could ask Carlinbot.
In a scenario where the average IQ is 200? Do you understand what you're talking about? You realize that the majority of people are exactly average, with a bit fuzziness, right? No? Then I guess Carlin is for you.
