Russell Brand's Spiritual and Political Awakening

I've always loved Russell, even when he was a seriously annoying twat because he is a genuine twat. And his unique intellect, coupled with having dragged his arse through the depths of the barrel, have begun to show how important his views and the motivation behind him talking about them to anyone who will listen are.

Could really do without the music though.

Love the video! But I would honestly pay money if someone would remove the music. I really don't get why people do this. If the volume of the music is the same as the person speaking, obviously that's a problem. Especially if the whole point of the video is to present the very meaningful words of the person speaking.

His tenet is an old one. And, like so many pseudo intellectual thinkers, his "solutions" are wishy washy, glib, and infantile. He offers no practical answers to serious questions. In fact, he appears to be as clueless as the politicians he derides. Oh, and he said all he had to say in the first two minutes, making the remainder of the video somewhat surplus to requirement. Right, I'm off to meditate, which will put me on a level where I can say; "F*ck work, bills, responsibility and commitments........"

He is offering as practical an answer to a serious question as can be digested or objectively considered. Deriding politicians is a universal license and you don't have to approach intelligence to decry the futility and decay of that profession. He's got bills, commitments, responsibilities and a shit-load of work chum, to stay imbedded in media as he has been doing lately.
I used to be down on Brand for his sophomoric humor until he started blithering about the nature of existence and telling the world about his personal rock-bottom-

Most of his solutions are idyllic like any artist's and in-kind, some are quite simple and universally practical. He's sharp and witty, and much more charming when he's not doing straight comedy.

When he dumped Katy Perry like a brick is when he began to appeal to myself-

Er, no. He is NOT offering a "practical an answer to a serious question as can be digested or objectively considered."
Jeez, you really love the sound of your puerile, thesaurus, based arguments. What, exactly, is he offering my friend? You two should get together for a drink, you sound informed but say nothing.

Loaf of pseudo-intellectual bollocks.

Yeah Russell, we have limited ranges on our senses (there are more than 5 by the way). That's why we invented tools to detect things outside of our perception.

Meanwhile, he prattles on without offering a single useful suggestion.

I think he probably went much further in his explanations but the person who edited the video wanted it to be easy enough to swallow. We aren't all capable of grasping as much as you

Lol, I never claimed to be a genius, but what I absolutely am is a pragmatist.

Give me solutions.

Hell, even Brand does this when he knows his subject. Listen to him talk about drug treatment. He's eloquent, impassioned and clear.

Whereas in these clips and others where he's talking about something he doesn't have a solution for, he's full of this kind of Chopra-esque hand-wavy nonsense.
