    He absolutely is, and I admittedly feel terrible that I didn't think of his philosophy a few years ago. I tended to refer to entire groups of people as "all awful", which deservedly upset several people who fit into said groups. Most of them didn't do it to me and I lashed out unfairly. The past couple of years I've been working to stop doing that because I completely disregarded the individuals, forgetting that they're what are important. I'm far from perfect at that now, but I'm getting better and hoping that kind of philosophy is passed on to people I get to know throughout my lifetime.

    Everything he said about the dynamic of the individual vs. the group hit home with me. I share that same view of the world. I prefer to deal with people on an individual level and avoid crowds like the plague. Once you find yourself amongst the crowd, you tend to lose yourself and end up at the mercy of whatever the mob thinks and wants to do. I have been doing my own thing all my life, have had a lot of interesting experiences and seen a lot of interesting places. Yes it gets lonely at times, but that is pretty much the only drawback. Nothing is perfect. But freedom, sanity, control over your own life, and inner peace far outweigh the loneliness.

    Really glad to see someone else feels this way too. I generally have social anxiety but I can happily interact with a single person, even 2 is not a problem. But when I see a group I completely shut off and I'm like "WTF are these people even doing, this is so pointless." and I leave. When I heard this individuality thing from Carlin it hit me like a 100000ton locomotive and everything I've felt in the last many years started to make sense. But I agree, it gets lonely sometimes and depression makes it even worse. Worst part is, there is no solution to such a unique problem cuz it feels like everyone wants to be in a group.

    The trick that you're all missing is to be a great bullshiter. If you jerk off enough people in the crowd to can make them think you're one of them, and as time passes as you gain their trust you can slowly start showing your true self to them and they'll be so used to you they won't even notice the change. You just need to make sure you don't lose yourself in the process.

    I saw him once. At the Fort Dodge Iowa High School Gymnasium. About 1990? Man; you've hit rock bottom playing that venue! But man; I never laughed so hard. One bit he did; he ended the bit with the word 'stuff'. The 200 or so people there (Myself included) went ape shit - thinking this was a segue into his 'Stuff' bit. But I don't think that was planned. He paused a second, cocked his head and launched into the 'Stuff' bit. It wasn't very polished so I think it was off the cuff. Then the next year Carlin exploded. The TV show then the HBO Specials.

    A lot of people confuse his bitterness with disdain. He loved humanity but was so disappointed in our organization and institutions.

I loved George got to see him live before he passed.
