The philosophy of a joke

How is possible that people laugh on certain jokes and simultaneously not all of them? What are purposes and meanings, such a terrific and quite important human act called a joke-laughter? Our reason works together with personal dynamics very closely. The process that culminates to the laughter is principle of misinterpretation of qualities that the imagination of an imagination is situated and soaked into a chaos of reason, its unrecognizable paradox inspired by certain system of faked representation of phenomena. Basically:

• 1. We have strict opinion about things and thoughts are just the same as we think about them.

  2. Human mind is naturally gifted by reason; we can recognize reason simple, pure, sharp or bright, wit or poor; and so on, you name it. This analysis shows that nature sees extreme seriousness in the conception of reason.

  3. Thus the reason is also considered as one of most radical and influential quality for human that we use and critique all the time, in every day life.

  4. According to these fact is very easily possible to invert the meaning:

     1. 1. our reason finds everything recognizable and already finished and done

        2. suddenly when the mechanism of the joke comes to the mind we are simply under suspicious meaning which is, indeed, ridiculous and thus breaks the usual group of connection with usually deeply considered facts about the reality

        3. thus the change from serious facts (e.g. mathematical axioms) to ridiculousness makes a characteristically confusion based on senseless examination of the mentioned phenomena. This process is very easy, and it is a part of human reasoning.

End Note

You can easily recognize certain qualities of reason of a random person according the very process of a joke. A subject that easily laughs on the most idiotic jokes consisting of human sexuality, for instance, which can be easily consider as persons with a poor morality. Same as a complexity of a joke, therefore its mechanism – therefore the most easiest attachable topics can speak of person’s intellectual qualities, and as quoted morality; for it just proves that in sexuality dwells one of the most pregnant and potent meaning that nature prevails and make us to believe for life’s sake.
