Humor as a defense and as a weapon
"I have found that the BEST way to destroy a silly viewpoint is to use
satire- satire makes people laugh, and when you point out the
silliness in a position in such a way as to make everyone laugh at it
you have won the hearts and minds of the people... humor is a powerful
defense and a devastating weapon... I believe it exists as a result of
evolution... chimps have a sense of humor."
