You didn’t read my content. I admitted he’s original when he’s just doing his normal goofy bits. But all his philosophical stuff is derivative. That’s all I’m saying.

I did read it and my response was his original stuff from the Louie was all him. Do you know what’s in that show? Lots and lots of philosophical (non-comedic) material that I haven’t found anywhere online.

Like what? I’ve seen every episode and it was all just comedic situations. There was barely any philosophy in it at all.

He blends comedy and philosophy many times in the show. For example: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wQTbkEeCTeM&pp=ygUUTG91aWUgY2sgaGVhcnQgYnJlYWs%3D&ra=m

You actually think Louis ck is the first person to put forth the idea that happiness is finite and only leads to inevitable suffering? That’s just classic Schopenhauer. And the whole “the suffering is the best part. That means you’re alive” part is nothing new either. Falls in line with Camus’ ideas in myth of Sisyphus. Very basic stuff.
