Im beginning to see the evil in humor.
The bin laden family used to ban laughter in their household. Smiling was ok, but the baring of teeth was forbidden.
On my drives and walks where I get to observe what makes people smile the most, and it is usually:
-feeling superior to something they just observed: an uglier person, or someone slipping or similar misfortune
-delight from flattery or being the object of attention
Freud also wrote that laughter was an evolutionary release valve and had aggressive undertones...display of teeth and dominance
All in all, I am now waging a jihad against idle banter and malevolent humor. The stand up comedian is one of the most depressing professions for a reson.
