Fear prevents completeness: A Comedy about text-messaging. That was on Conan.
"So you never feel completely sad, or completely happy. You just feel kinda…satisfied with your product…and then you die."
- Louis C.K., explaining why confronting the essential loneliness / sadness of being human is preferable to compulsively reaching for something (a text-message, food, whatever) to kill the pain.
I could make arguments against Louis' generalizations of technology here, but the important point is that this is insightful talk about human emotions made funny and accessible, and whether you understand it or not yet, it's good to hear it put so simply (and on TV no less). Enjoy!
