Louis CK on Consumers and Capitalism (part 1/3)

February 24, 2011: Louis CK on the Opie and Anthony Show discussing how it is our own short-sightedness as consumers that is bringing down the quality of our products, services, and way of life because they no longer care about their neighbors and their neighbors' success. The clip ends with Louis remarking that the 2nd place competitor always wins in the end because he is more vicious.

Part Two continues here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zR1jTuGm7ok

Also watch CokeLogic's animation of the Donald Rumsfeld interview which immediately followed this conversation where Louis CK asks him if he is a lizard: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz_gy7-bOoo&feature=related

I agree with Louis. If corporations now run the world, not governments, then you vote everyday by deciding who to give your money to. Vote with your feet, people!

@pretorious700 You're a peice of shit, there's no need to be cursing at a stranger out of nowhere like that. You're clearly part of the human problem that Louis is hinting at: people being assholes to each other. Go suck an entire swimming pool of dicks!

why is Bleached Shrek in the middle of an artistic airbushed photo depiction of Opus+Anthony. How dare Jim Norton show his pancaked face on Louis CK time-stick to RedEye w/ demented Bill Schulz. Demand more people.

@mmtna I disagree. Advancements of digital technology and the advent of the Internet have merely coincided with a temporary cultural decline. Certainly, misuse of contemporary technology has exacerbated this decline, but in a sound society, its effect will likely be opposite.

Personally, I feel that technology needs be exploited to promote sound, intelligent alternatives to so much moronic, degenerate content defecated by mass media outlets.

there's no such thing as progress, only change

@wes1087 Fuck you faggot, the philosophy of doing better, making human interraction preferable to automated bullshit, quality as opposed to ignorant quantity, is a quantitative argument. Fuck you and your dumbass pejorative bullshit.

@antichris78 Yeah, you've got it, but it's cooperation between government and corporations

that has put us all in this condition.
