Looks like there will never be an Ace Ventura 3 :(

Jim Carrey has aged fairly well, although he looks older than just 55. Otherwise I can kinda get what he was driving at.

Also, wouldn't it be less "officially gone nuts" and more "officially gone senile"? =p
---

What do you mean "gone nuts"? I thought he always was nuts.

He doesn't have the eyes of a sane man.

Can you give me a link or something for that?

I feel like his head has too much for him to handle

I loved his acting, but learning about how he was depressed only makes me realize that's probably why he was so good at "acting"crazy

I hadn't heard about it, but apparently he's going to to trial over it

REVEALED: The heartbreaking texts and letter which allegedly detail how Jim Carrey infected tragic lover with THREE STDs, tried to deny it, then labelled her a 'whore' and 'ungrateful b****' before she took her life

I loved his movies as a kid,but giving ur partner stds is just beyond messed up
---

We believe in nothing, Lebowski!

Kinda silly to kill yourself over the most tame and treatable STD out there that like half the population has.

Personally, I blame Jenny McCarthy.

I think some of the brain parasites she has eating away at her must have crossed over to him while they were boning.

At least he's interesting. Most celebrities are total bores.

And this could all be schtick. He's promoting something. Could be upping the strange factor to create buzz.

He's an artist now, and those guys are a mixed bag of both nuts and being grounded.

"Behind Closed Doors He's An Amazing Artist"

I guess it's true what they say. Art is subjective, because I thought his art was terrible. He should have stuck to comedy.

Says the guy who cites science yet rejects the scientific accounts in favor of the mad rantings of Alex Jones and other reprobates. The same guy who cites "for evidence" meme images put together by the Jones followers and the "I want to believe (in spite of the overwhelming evidence to the contrary)" crowd. And then insists because individuals in the US suggested a false flag -- which was later rejected -- not only does this mean this probably happened (despite all evidence to the contrary) but it also got JFK killed.

And acknowledging debunked, stupid, and/or insane theories doesn't make you open-minded, it just makes you gullible.

Man, I always forget I really don't like that mentality relating to art.

All of this sounds like unchecked mania. Bipolar disorder and insane amounts of money do not mix well. Dude probably hasnt done anything to treat it too.

Like one of the symptons of mania is making huge purchases. Burning an entire paycheck on online shopping in an hour. But if you have a ton of money there isnt any consequences.

He had/has bipolar disorder, and yeah, he was usually in a manic state when he was making his films. If you've ever been around a bipolar person going through mania, Carrey fits it to a T.

What in the fuck? I don't listen to Alex Jones, where do you get this crap? Do you just lump me in the category of amateur conspiracy theorists because all you see are the memes? Lol okay Erik. Those who fail history are doomed to repeat it.

You acknowledge the false flag operation brought to JFK's attention, yet you deny any plausibility that it could be a similar case with 9/11?

I offered input, tried showing you videos, and even professional viewpoints from physicists, chemists (thermite, white smoke), and demolitionists. You ignored them. Then you compared my mentality to that of a high school dropout. As a computer science major, I prefer an AI-like approach to conspiracy theories; I don't have a destination in mind when I explore angles/accounts (confirmation bias), and I use elimination and deductive logic. I tend not to dismiss cases entirely unless there is a massive amount of evidence stacked against it.

Example: I don't buy into flat-earth theories. However, if someone says they can debunk all the things that disprove round Earth, I would love to listen to it. Haven't found anyone who has been able to do that yet. (I tend to believe that the Earth is a sphere. It does get interesting when someone says something like we're living in a simulation-- look into Seth Lloyd's work on the matter.)

You remind me of my grandparents. They're hardcore Catholics, and if you try to suggest any other origin possibilities, they shake their heads and tell you that you're wrong, despite your case. To me, it sounds ridiculous not to explore options. Maybe they're right about Catholicism, maybe they're wrong-- for me personally, it feels wrong not to ask questions.

You, on the other hand, are locked into confirmation bias, and it's like arguing with a bigoted wall.

Edit: By the way, quit fucking telling PotD that I mocked 9/11. There's nothing funny about it. All I did was speculate the truth. If you believe in defamation, let me destroy my own character, then. I don't appreciate you spreading lies. Mocking 9/11 would be like posting a gif of Nyan cat crashing into the twin towers. Get your shit straight.

It's obvious that he's mentally ill or at the very least imbalanced in that interview. I just hope he goes back to normal. This existentialism bullshit he's on now is horseshit and once humans accept that the better off they are.

Things are what they are. You either conform to reality or appear to be a nutjob. I'm all for his freedom to choose, but I'd say he's going through a false awakening. He's covering up his depression with vacuous superstition and reverse legalistic practice.

At the end of the day, you still have to eat, drink water, get a job, pay bills.
---

He's not speaking normally and seems more erratic, but not everything he said is that crazy, he's just not explaining it very well. I think he means that identity/ego is an illusion and that he's realizing that now, so being free from that is actually empowering. But he has a lot of power/influence already from the time he spent investing into his identity and image in the entertainment industry which starts him off from a good place for doing whatever he wants. I would say his tone/demeanor was more disturbing than what he said

zeus actually isn't wrong there for once.

you mocked it by legitimately trying to prove it was a conspiracy by our government when it factually wasn't.

that's not mocking it and you can't say it factually wasn't when there is so much speculation that it could have been orchestrated by the government. just because you disagree with an alternative narrative with different supporting facts doesn't mean someone simply presenting that narrative is making a mockery of the situation.

Somehow I imagine you repeated history a lot while you were a student, which is what brings us here.

You're aware that you're citing something that undercuts your entire argument, right? They never went through with it. There are countless zany schemes and plans cooked up by somebody in government, but those ideas almost never come to fruition. As such, citing this as an example further discredits your argument. But don't let that stop from claiming that 9/11 and Sandy Hook were false flag attacks because reason has rarely stood in the way of an interesting-sounding conspiracy.

And you ignored the official report and word of actual experts in favor of a group consisting mostly of laymen. Your professionals are largely on the level of Leuchner, who sought to prove the Holocaust never happened and improperly carried out experiments which -- because he bungled them -- supported his conclusions.

Were you actually a comp sci major, you'd be rational enough to debunk them. Then again, you might be able to pass in your major while failing history.

At any rate, at least I know where you get your belief in the irrational from. Because you couldn't be religious, you had to shift an unwavering faith in nonsense elsewhere.

I haven't brought it up recently, but that's EXACTLY what you did. Your second topic, the one which actually got you warned, was a lot less in that direction but the initial topic clearly mocked it. More so, you're pretending to be open-minded now, but your first topic pretty explicitly mentioned your feelings and the second strongly advocated the same.

I have heard a few comics mention on their podcasts recently (Joe Rogan, Norm McDonald) that he is just playing a character from a new movie he is working on. Whether that's true, I guess we'll find out sooner or later. But I have a hard time taking that video seriously.

He was a really good Riddler

Are we absolutely certain he's not just being Jim Carrey? Dude's made a long and lucrative career out of portraying all 31 flavors of whackadoodle.

Or maybe he didn't stop playing Kaufman when Man on the Moon ended and the past 18 years or so has been Carrey playing Kaufman playing Carrey.

He never struck me as being wound so tight to start with but calling someone with genuine problems 'nuts' is a bit harsh. It's not uncommon for comedians to suffer from some sort of depression.
