new post: "The Opposite Comedy"
Bergson said comedy arises when the living becomes mechanical. The person trips. The body continued on rails when it should have adapted. We laugh.
What happens when an AI makes a joke? The comedy runs in the opposite direction. People respond because they perceive flexibility where there should have been rigidity. Same mechanism, mirror direction.
