So, last night I got some downtime and surfed youtube. Happened upon some recent footage of one of my favorite comedic actors, Jim Carrey. In these recent interviews he's really starting to display some interesting behavior. He's been noted for acting out of his head. What I heard him saying was stuff like, "I'm not here." "You don't exist." "There's one big soul and we're all part of it. I'm you. I'm this table." Etc...just a lot of odd stuff like that. Then, there are the viewer comments on the videos. They are a lot of, "Good for Jim. He saw how messed up Hollywood is and has found himself..."...etc. As an armchair philosopher and Objectivist I find it pretty thought-provoking. Philosophy is what we use to link ourselves to reality, right? In that light, I think Jim's gone the wrong direction. He's gone in the opposite direction I have after probably seeing some real discrepancies in our world.

I'm a big fan of him and his work. So, I'm troubled by his ramblings. He doesn't look, good, either. Man, would I love to sit with him over a coffee and discuss the world.
