>The world is like a ride at an amusement park, and when you choose to go on it, you think it's real, because that's how powerful our minds are. And the ride goes up and down and round and round and it has thrills and chills and it's very brightly colored and it's very loud. And it's fun, for a while.
>Some people have been on the ride for a long time, and they begin to question: 'Is this real? Or is this just a ride?' And other people have remembered, and they come back to us and they say 'Hey! Don't worry, don't be afraid -- ever -- because... this is just a ride.' And we kill those people.
>'Shut him up! We have a lot invested in this ride! Shut him up! Look at my furrows of worry; look at my big bank account, and my family. This has to be real.' It's just a ride. But we always kill those good guys who try and tell us that -- ever notice that? -- and we let the demons run amok. But it doesn't matter, because... it's just a ride, and we can change it any time we want. It's only a choice. No effort. No worry. No job. No savings and money. Just a choice, right now, between fear and love. The eyes of fear want you to put bigger locks on your door, buy bigger guns, close yourself off. The eyes of love, instead, see all of us as one.
>Here's what we can do to change the world, right now, into a better ride. Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world, which it would do many times over -- not one human being excluded -- and we can explore space together, both inner and outer, forever. In peace.
This guy was brilliant.

Yeah man, if idiot Romans had just given all their money away to barbarians and Africans instead of defense, all would've been so much better for everyone!

He's an asshole.

I was with it until the last paragraph
funny how abstract rants are appealing until it's apparent that they're just preaching love (fair point but I just want more about the ride, or his perception of it)

i'll give you a break, because i don't expect everyone on earth to keep up with the bits of every single comedian from over 2 decades ago, but...
~WHOOSH~

>>80871861
~WHOOSH~ as in went over my head? then explain it
I want abstract, borderline psychotic rants, not tired, recycled guidelines on earthly wellness

Denis Leary was well known for ripping material off from Bill Hicks. Their bits on smoking are practically identical, except Hicks did it first and was much funnier. The "It's just a ride" speech is very famous among Hicks fans.

goddamn this is so cringey. I'm glad we've gotten to the point where most realize what a hack Hicks was

>Hicks did it first and was much funnier.
it's ok to like Hick because of his teenage pseudo-philosophy but at least be honest about. the guy was not funny. he didn't even attempt to be funny, he just bitched and complained

>Take all that money we spend on weapons and defense each year and, instead, spend it feeding, clothing and educating the poor of the world,
a lot of millions were spent on that and all we got is a demographic nuclear bomb and more poverty to feed

Hicks was way ahead of his time, and any serious young comedian that hasn't been influenced by him is normally shit.
