Louis CK - Of Course But Maybe

spoco2says...

I love how he points out the horribleness of the conditions of those that make the iPhone and the ridiculousness of what we're getting in return for their suffering... while holding his iPhone.

I mean that truly, I do love that Louis never tries to be holier than thou when pointing these things out, he's always ready to demonstrate that he's as bad, or worse, than the next guy.

Love it.

Sometimes you feel like a nut....and sometimes you die.
(I was not sitting on the toilet typing this comment into an iphone but I think my motherboard was made by Foxconn so I'm still guilty.)

"Dieter Wildung, a former director of Berlin's Egyptian Museum, said it is "common knowledge in serious Egyptology" that the pyramid builders were not slaves and that the construction of the pyramids and the story of the Israelites in Egypt were separated by hundreds of years."

Paybacksaid:

Other than, you know, the fact they exist and the ancient Egyptians actually wrote that into the sides of the things.

Yeah, common knowledge among so-called "experts" on anything amounts to variations of true, false, and meaningless. Slaves in a conventional sense of the designation in ancient Egypt the architects and laborers may not have been-The monuments remaining are still a testament to the influence of Pharonic power over the skilled-trades and the coordination of efforts. SOMEONE made SOMEBODY build the things, eh?? Giza doesn't look like a volunteer, community-beautification project somewhere in Seattle....

kymbossaid:

I just love the term "common knowledge in serious Egyptology".

Imagine being at that dinner party.

I like Paul Mooney's take on it in his, "Nigger History Lesson:(RACE album)

'Cause we built the pyramids. We built 'em so good, we forgot how we did it! Ask white folks who built the pyramids...."People from Maarrs...Space people, " "Fuck You!...."Niggers, and Jews, and Jews were our slaves then, let's be real, we made them motherfuckers---PICK THAT BRICK UP, GOLDBERG!!' ...until God and Moses double-crossed us, and they got away!

gorillamansaid:

Besides, jews are far too lazy for that sort of work.

People lived to 35 at that time. They feared the desert and every year the flooding of the Nile saved the people for another year. If your religious leader that makes the Nile delta fertile every year wants to build a giant monument to the gods and leaders that have a connection to the gods then you do it, no force needed.

Oh man, this is another instant-classic bit, IMO. Right up there with "everything's amazing & nobody's happy" "bag of dicks" or "7 dirty words", even.
He could have done 20 "of course, but maybes" and I would still be laughing...
