~In The Mind Of Louis CK~

In this interview and episode with Conan, Louis CK clearly states (and is in fact what the title of this segment is denominated) that we live in this remarkable world, yet people do not see it as so.  CK specifically declares that "everything is amazing right now and nobody's happy."  CK is effective in making his point comprehensible because he talks about things people can patently relate to whilst making it humorous.  For instance, take the esteemed phone and picture the refinement it has gone through these past one hundred years or so. CK speaks about using rotary phones in his time, and how lucky we are now to have efficient, compact, and mobile devices. However, even with such a significant transformation, and what I believe CK is trying to portray, is that people have become these individuals who are not thought worthy and grateful for the things they have in life.  Another instance that CK discusses, and what I can relate to most, is the faster wify that planes have to offer. How people only enjoy and expect it to always be quick, but when that is not given they become upset and angry because something they were told to happen or be provided isn't delivered.  When really, they could be seated in the plane thinking about their childhood dreams of flying to have become a reality... me! In these cases, we see that someone's discomfort and complains become this astounding platform to promote awareness to such a universal issue.  It becomes an appealing topic to all as there is some relationship people have with context, and it is this relationship that make people second guess their actions and look at the bigger picture at hand. All in all, it is evident that the changes in the world from the past to current day are phenomenal; however, despite that, people are ungrateful and seem to never be pleased.  A change has to happen, and the use of satire here in this video, hopefully, will get us one person closer to that change.
