Eddie Izzard offers to step in for Prince Philip.

 



I am appalled at social media pundits willing Prince Philip to die before the Oprah interview so they can suggest that Prince Philip died of a broken heart.  It's the sort of insanity that indicates how dysfunctional and unhinged society has become.  Musing about this and 'The Emperor's New Clothes', it occurred to me that people will believe anything if enough people around them are agreeing with a bad idea.  That's how social justice works.  Create enough traction around a fallacy on social media and the world just goes along with it as Gospel Truth.

That's why stand up comedians are so important in society.  They must call out this sort of nonsense for the bullshit it really is.  Eddie Izzard is perfect for this job.  Sure he is trans, but he is more of a man than 80% of the males on earth.  The guy is an Adonis, a Superman, an Ubermensch, but happily acknowledges he is a transvestite.  Stand-up comedians don't consider themselves too seriously, yet seem to be the only sane people left in the political discourse.  Political activists on the other hand, take themselves very seriously and yet frequently spew unintelligible nonsense.

George Carlin once quipped: "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups".

Precisely.
