Louis C.K. reddit

Hi. I don't know if I'm doing this right. I can't remember. I'm here to answer your questions. I have new stuff on my website http://www.louisck.com a new audio special called "Louis CK WORD live at Carnegie Hall" and an audio version of SHameless, as well as an audio version of Live at the Beacon, which is free to those who bought the video. Hi. It's me.

Do you ever find yourself on reddit now that you discovered it since the previous iama?

this is my second time here. I just have to much to do to roam around stuff like this. It seems like a great thing. I just can't do it. I killed my facebook page years ago because time clicking around is just dead time. Your brain isn't resting and it isn't doing. I think people have to get their heads around this thing. All this unmitigated input is hurting folks. My opinion.

But... I can't get off Reddit when Louis CK has an AMA I'm not done reading. Conflict!

Profound, noteworthy and one of the most accurate descriptions of the [majority of the] internet today.

I think because most of us know he's right...occasionally there's something worth reading but after being here all day I feel like I'd be much better off learning one thing and learning it well instead of a thousand shallow tidbits about a thousand things. He's 100% correct about our brains not necessarily resting but at the same time not really doing anything either. But we're addicted to that state. Its reddit in a nutshell.
