This blew my mind. The example he gives of the first style is Seinfeld, “It’s a show about nothing”.I guess an example of the opposite would be Macdonald himself, or someone like George Carlin who made comedy out of the biggest subjects, religion, war, and government.I’ve become fascinated by Macdonald over the last few years, a comedian’s comedian, someone who spent his professional life dissecting and studying comedy. The eternal questions - what is funny, and why?https://youtu.be/jmO6SNbE--k?is=539BbzlriTiBS29n

@EvoScale Two very different versions of a similar idea.You will live forever in an afterlife once you’re dead, so what you do now doesn’t matter.VsYou will live forever after you die in what you leave behind, so what you do now is important.
