Definition Of Insane - Relation To Humor
Koos Nolst Trenite
5 February 2003
The definition of Insane:
Assigning the wrong causes to things.
From this - 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.*

Note on a respondent:
Instead of thanking me for my contribution - as his mother certainly
would have taught him to do if he gets something for nothing - a
respondent liked to suggest, that "I would not be well-read," or such
similar unvoiced execution of his envy and to divert the reader's
attention away from his lack of education, which had become obvious by
the abundance of mine.
To further expose that suggestion of his, I refer to the above post of
mine, which covers a whole range of publications on the subject, from
very recent to thousands of years ago - again, too many, and entirely
beyond this scope, to list, but they will be obvious to those who know
them.
So actually he is the cause that I refer you to the above-mentioned
Human Rights Issue 'How Do You Face Evil? - A Questionnaire' with
examples and explanations on 'Definition Of Insane - Relation To
Humor.'
For causing which, he should be thanked.
