'
The definition of Insane:
Assigning the wrong causes to things.
'
And from this - from assigning the wrong causes to things - irrational
behavior results,
which we experience as being Insane, and we experience that
usually regarding some activity, or on some subject, or in and
regarding certain circumstances.
And indeed, if you find the right causes and act on those,
the activity or subject or reaction to circumstances stops
being Insane - and happiness returns on all faces (on all
faces that want fast and lasting remedies and progress for
all).
'
'
The definition covers the whole scale,
from mildly insane on a few subjects - as also the wisest
amongst us are -
to cripplingly insane on one subject, or maybe on many subjects,
and very much further down, to the intention and practice of
wanting to make and to keep others insane on as many subjects as
possible, by assigning wrong causes and enforcing the inability
to perceive or determine the right causes.
'
'
The definition of Humor is related to the definition of Insane.
To put it all in one sentence:
According to the intention with which others recognize such
insanities - or fail to recognize them - there is humor and the
various types and flavors of humor.
And you have of course also insane and ugly humor from
some individuals, who try to make "fun" of the correct
assignment of causes, and who do so in order to have
those correct assignments of (themselves being detected
for instance as) cause not accepted as true and correct.
'
'
I will talk a little bit more about the connection to Humor:
It is hilarious to assign very obviously the wrong causes to
things, and to go about it very seriously, as if you really do
not know better at all.
It is so popular with people, because it matches reality - it
matches the world we live in,
immersed as we are in all kind of Insanities,
immersed in the continuous assignment of wrong causes to
the things that are happening to us or that are happening
to others in the world.
'
'
All comedies and funny acts, all comedians, are about this
- assigning the wrong causes, or acting with very wrong
importances which result from assigning wrong causes -
and when you play as if those wrong causes are right and impor-
tant - while your public knows, or suspects so, or finds out -
and if you are being very serious about it, then you have people
roaring with laughter in no time!
Actually, you are making them saner.*

and very great insight,
and a breadth of understanding
as measureless
as the sand on the seashore.'
