Harmontown - hate is a lack of imagination 

Philosophical Dan Harmon pairs absolutely perfectly with Pete Holmes

"I'm being angry for fun" is the perfect clarification of all i have felt but couldn't express to people

1:35 Reminds me of the John Mulaney line "I don't know what my body is for, other than taking my head from room to room."

There is something pleasantly ironic about the line "It's my choice, or the illusion of my choice...It's up to you"

Pete is absolutely right. It is pleasent to be angry. In German they say a choleric person is "streitsüchtig" which means addicted to arguments.

These two men’s therapists are having conversations through these two.

Dan is visibly so drunk right now which is the absolute best time to have a philosophical conversation.

never did I ever think these guys would hang out. I didn't know how much I needed this shit 😭😭😭

its interesting how the most silly ppl are actually very smart and wise

Now that htown is over we need these clips to survive! Thank you!

Beautiful conversation! In this moment everything is okay. Thats my mantra for the day. (:

This is a smorgasbord of like watts mckenna and david foster wallace god damn there be big thinks in here

One of my favorite kinds of youtube videos are two people just having a conversation trying to figure things out.

Like 3-4 years ago I was lost. These two I credit with accepting who I am and the adjusting the way I think. Still not sure it’s for the better, but I am infinitely more self aware. I miss being dumb and oblivious. So I think 5 stars?

they perfectly balance eachother out. two crazed existential seekers

"And if you can convince someone there was a leapord you'll still get laid"

Clicked on the video and then put my phone down and then got super excited when i heard Pete’s voice

"Some gods are assholes." Oh Pete, I love you almost as much as Dan.

"Your brain is telling you stories that create your suffering." -whistles-

For the true Bros that cut me off, Good job you passed one car and now we're both looking like jackasses at the stoplight.

Graham Greene said that

Pete basically found his way around the fundamental attribution error.

Pete Holmes needs to have a TalkShow again. asap.

This was enjoyably deep

Damn, this was literally GOOD for me...

The quote is attributed to Graham Greene, the guy who wrote The Power and the Glory.

I love it when Dan references Campbell

Wow Pete has some good philosophy

We probably fixate on the story because it was advantageous for our ancestors to figure out potential solutions to future problems which resemble the one they just experienced.

I've been trans-rational basically my whole life and this guy has just put it into perfect words

1:36 Alan Watts said this to portray the prevailing perspective of modern man, not as its own piece of wisdom. If anything, he disagreed with this perspective and would probably say that the contrast between consciousness and body is as imaginary as the contrast between a book and the pages which make it up.

Thinging should have been the word of the Year.

OMG HARMONTOWN AND THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT ZEN!!! *explodes in samsara*

Interesting that Pete is a Hindu or at least follows a Swami/Guru like Ram Dass who is a Hindu and I believe is a Hanuman Devotee and learned under Swami/Guru named Neem Karoli Baba. I find that really interesting and just cool!

I fucking love drunk philosophy

is there a full video interview somewhere? this is a beautiful conversation

I fucking love Pete's Transrational explanation.

Graham Green

I want Pete Holmes as a best friend!

Holy shit, I didn’t expect this level of deep-ness

I get road rage because the idiot in the other car almost caused a collision. I don't want to get hurt or them hurting other people because we could leave a quadriplegic. It's hard to stay calm when they're so flippant when a simple turn signal could avoid any discourse.

All I see is Bruce Wayne! I've been fighting crime-no. I'm not that batman!

This was fucking great? Anyone have any recommendations for these kinds of convos?

And here you stumble upon the fundamental human problem: a real lack of imagination.

IT'S PETE!! 😃

'Don't be paranoia's bitch'....I like it.

I know a little bit about dan harmon, and watched a couple of these, but I genuinly CAN'T tell what tell what they're talking about

At 2:10: Who else was reminded of Todd from the wedding scene of Community Sn6 Ep12 ? 😅

Virtual riot told me to watch this

Imagine a conversation between Dan Harmon and Neil Tyson

“The first step to enlightenment” oh thanks

you are a soul, you have a body. And: DILLIGAF only works for so long. Caring makes all the difference. Zen's really great when you feel overwhelmed, but you can't build anything on it. It's far too solipsistic.

I think hell is what happens when monks take remedies like Datura and think about death too much

Pete Holmes is a determinist? Cool.

Yeah I just got bored so I made all these bodies for me to live inside of so I could have someone to argue with.

More this. How can I have more this? Who are these men?

Pete Holmes gets rattled.... he isn't Ron Funches for crying out loud, I don't think anything could make that man get rattled.

They're approaching the Jim Carrey tier of ego

Evolutionary biology in theraphy

That's a beautiful idea! What if more than one person is god?

A certain Christian Valentin Brunn has brought me here.

I know a few people like blue-car god

I didn't even finish the video yet but I sure the title of the video should have been "some gods are assholes"

hell is a lack of imagination? ... sorry dante 🥺

Eckhart Tolle

Literally the concept of Gnostic Christianity.

Pete Holmes is like your enlightened cousin. His words hit all the right chords but he still annoys you.

naw man, talk to a hateful person, you'll find they are full of imaginations of why their hate it justified.

i hate spiders

Wtf did I just become a better person.... nope just gas.

passive aggressive ??

This guy does too many shrooms

this is what a fool sounds like

Imagination is lack of attention and missing serious time contemplating goals

ugh

Humans have invented notions of pluralism thus we are culpable to the irreducible human trait of recalcitrance in the id. Tarkovsky ascribes the human condition, that is to receive, as in atrophy. *Tarkovsky despite being bogged down by the consensus oriented compound polity ruining his livelihood. I think Tarkovsky was in the right about the fact that all autochthones are capable of autocephaly or at least that expression. That autocephaly does not have to subscribe to the tenets of moral rearmament. It can be be a burden as it was with Rainer Fassbinder a long suffering artist or it could be on the nature of being alive like Andre Gregory. To paraphrase Todd,... 'Any of these people could be God."

Read it as "hate is a lack of immigration" which is also true.

I find Pete Holmes willingness to champion the "fuck it, I don't give a shit about reality" stance dishonest af.

On ayahuasca.. I thought we are all God and we should be ...explain...I meant to say ashamed but ... Can yu here the listener

Nah, I disagree. I can imagine Nazis and Nazism and my hatred increases.

I think it's funny we call smart devices a "phone" considering how much more shit they do than make voice calls.
