I like George Carlin, but this is a comedy routine and not philosophical advice. It doesn't mean we should go around stepping on daisies because "screw daisies, destruction is WHY WE ARE HERE!"
- bena 4y agoIt's comedy and it's asking a philosophical question. It can do both. He has another bit about how we're not really concerned about saving the planet, we're concerned about making sure the planet remains a hospitable place for us to live. Which, one again, is kind of a perspective shift. No, we cannot "destroy" the Earth, all we can do is fuck up our ability to exist on it.
