I think you bring up a great point about Louis C.K. The dialectic here is that he's done some messed up things, but at the same time his speech about George Carlin shines a light on Carlin's method; his way of creating new content that was raw, present, and ever expanding.

Prolific to me is creating new after new after new. In https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLXmE_hxCcg, Carlin talks about bridging this generation war which sounds terrifying. But he did what scared him and that's when he says he found success.

You say "excavation", which is a form of expansion. So I'd say keep digging, yes and, don't fear a new method of expansion.

This is a fantastic essay. I too want to write more. And write better. And find my purpose, possibly through writing. I'm anything but prolific though. Great piece.
