GENIUS FORUMS

I like Carolla. He's obviously no Buddha, but he's surprisingly non-egotistical. If a person speaks the truth then any other faults they might have are small by comparison.

And Carolla often speaks the truth, unlike virtually every other person in the media.

I found him all ego. His rap is worthless. What a waste of time.

Very funny in places.

I grew up listening to Loveline with Adam & Dr. Drew, good times.

Carl,

I found him all ego. His rap is worthless. What a waste of time.

Carl, you sound a little hateful toward Adam. Didi you have some sort of past on his radio show that we don’t know about? maybe, you called in one time and defended the supernatural…?

Actually, some of his criticisms are quite accurate, but Adam’s main problem is that the truth often affects him emotionally, as he tends to get upset just thinking about parts of it. It shows a certain degree of consciousness, but he is caught in a sort of limbo state, where he can understand parts of the truth intellectually, but his ego is still present to some degree. And also, there are many mental blocks in his understanding that allow his ego to remain intact. Ironically, his ego protecting itself from certain subtle truths allows his limbo state to continue. It is unfortunate that the unconscious activity of the ego to protect itself ultimately guarantees the individual keeps experiencing psychological suffering.

I actually think he has a bit of potential as a philosopher. Moreover, if his wife suddenly turned on him, took all his money, and left him to the wolves, and he seriously started reading the work of some enlightened philosophers, he just might have the goods to go all the way, who knows, that is if he could get away his neurological addiction to anger, and his other emotional attachments.

Adam's use of language is also a problem in his maturation process. The slang and vulgarity often reinforce the ego's unconscious desire to avoid too much subtlety of understanding. Because on the one hand, he can keep feeling the egotistical reward from what I call "greedy" language, and on the other, the language itself prevents one from understanding many deeper relationships. Many intellectuals have a difficult time dropping what I call superficial hipster lingo, in favor of something less comical and more serious. However, with such a commitment, comes the full extinction of the ego.

However, on a positive note, when truth is mixed with a bit of deluded character, the affects are often quite entertaining, and so I suppose having Adam in the media is a good thing, as he acts as a sort of transition figure, for those who don’t have the seriousness for philosophy that goes all the way.

If given a chance what I wonder mr Adam he would say about YOU, mr ryan?
You think he maybe say in a joking way...how full of yourself you are?
or will he say you talk from both side of your mouth to avoid to defend your self?
surely he would want to know WHY you bother to speak at all, to the glory of God or to the glory of Satan?
Would he think how cowardly are you, that your deluded self-perception prevents the posibility of personal progress??
maybe he would weep for you too, feeling that your heart is as filty as his mouth.
or pray you are still a young man with time enough to cut thru the darkness you cannot yet see.

mansman,

Arrogance is the inevitable affect of knowing something to be true, it comes with the territory. This Adam character actually has a lot of arrogance himself, if you listen carefully, and it allows him to stand up to people, and challenge them.

Part of masculinity is having the courage to challenge someone bluntly without any concern for their feelings. The feminine within us always wants us to cater to people’s egotistical emotions, but that is a game that I refuse to play. I know where that road goes…nowhere productive.
