Why the fuck do people care what comedians and actors think about anything?
Most of them barely got out of high school.

Didn’t he go perform for the Saudis?
Shut the fuck up, Jimmy.

Bad take for two reasons:
-
Being consistently funny requires intellect and general cleverness. You can't be quick witted if you're stupid.
-
More importantly we are all mostly ignorant. You could have a PhD in 3 topics and have spent years in higher education, and you still know only a tiny speck of all that there is to know.
I'm not a fan of Jimmy Carr, especially after the Saudi shit, and I fucking hate AI. But the idea that we shouldn't value the opinions of artists is pretty dumb. There are plenty of smart artists with interesting things to say and unique perspectives.

“Carr studied social science and political science at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, graduating with first-class honours in 1994.” en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jimmy_Carr#Early_life_and_e…
There are interesting clips from his stand-up when he takes questions from the audience. Usually he wants to fuck their moms, but occasionally there are very intriguing and intelligent answers.

The list is too long to remember, and I don’t look it up every single time I mention a comedian.

Bill Burr was the biggest disappointment. He went from based to a total piece of shit, gas lightning his fans.

he’s always been a piece of shit, he was just a broken clock sometimes.

I’d honestly consider this a war crime.
