Laughter Is a Tool to Promote Social Vitality and Health

Laughter is a self-administered antidote where people pay a minor social price for the sake of having the most vital society possible. Bergson's theory seems to account for the discrepancy we talked about at the end of last episode. The question of why it is that we can laugh at both comedy that speaks truth to power and comedy that's just completely absurd? Maybe somebody that can offer some insight here is Aristotle. He has a section in his work where he talks about the function of eyesight.
