The crisis at the border is that immigrants/refugees don’t have to get vaccinated which somehow violates her… amendment?? I think that left the interviewer speechless because he had no follow-up to her statement.
Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.

I do think it’s critical to keep track of what the stupidest of all political loudmouths have to say, but these articles do make me wish we had regularly scheduled, intelligent and informed prime time debates about the major issues of the day that were just universally followed. Something like the presidential debates, but regularly and without the winner-take-all stakes, and obviously not done by politicians. Even if it were competitive debate style but with intellectuals.

That one was a real head-scratcher. I’m not sure it even made sense to her.
To know and not to know, to be conscious of complete truthfulness while telling carefully constructed lies, to hold simultaneously two opinions which cancelled out, knowing them to be contradictory and believing in both of them, to use logic against logic, to repudiate morality while laying claim to it, to believe that democracy was impossible and that the Party was the guardian of democracy, to forget whatever it was necessary to forget, then to draw it back into memory again at the moment when it was needed, and then promptly to forget it again, and above all, to apply the same process to the process itself—that was the ultimate subtlety: consciously to induce unconsciousness, and then, once again, to become unconscious of the act of hypnosis you had just performed. Even to understand the word—doublethink—involved the use of doublethink.

I suspect that Carlin knew the difference, but also knew that having to teach his audience basic statistics first would make his joke fall flat. And he also wasn’t afraid of poking fun at himself.
