It's the second time this has happened, I think.

So his theory, which I'm sure he has spoken about on this very show, is the idea that you go, okay, so violations are like how things are meant to be, right? If it deviates from that, it's a violation in life. So death, disease, famine, all of the worst stuff in the world. It's like, it's a violation. And he's saying, okay, if you imagine a Venn diagram, that's one circle.

And then overlapping that is kind of humor. And you go, if you joke about something, you're kind of, you're re… you're recoding it in your mind to say, no, no, this is okay. We're putting a bit of distance between this.

So just by joking about something, you make these violations in life, these terrible things, whether it's death, disease, suicide, whatever the terrible thing is, you're making it okay through laughter. You're filtering life's hardships through laughter. the charcoal of comedy and kind of making it palatable.

So it's like, you know, I often say this, I feel sorry for the people that are easily offended. Or like offended because laughing at difficult things is, it pays out on the worst days. So like when you're having your very worst day, you go, yeah, but at least we can laugh.

Like those things of like, if you've had friends die or, you know, they're in palliative care and you can sort of get a laugh out of them and it's just eases everything.

Just how you react to it We don't have any control but we have a lot of influence and the idea that Disposition is more important than position is one of my kind of core beliefs like I know some pretty fucking miserable billionaires And I know some people that are just you know, so what's happiness? It's like it's your current situation minus expectations and
