divine principle, joy at the destruction of incongruences

is typically subverted into to soldering over those ruptures in the world in order to make oneself feel more comfortable again, bad faith humor that sees the rupture so that it can more comfortably assert it in the comfort that one's world is complete and whole – and beyond this it turns into cliché, where the humorous content is repeated while the rupture that gave it its power is no longer even present; the humorous isn't tied to a subject matter but to its destructive effect. humor self-effaces and tries to make everything humorless. the world and its rulers are inherently humorless and hate comedy – comedy is always destructive

when this latter impulse is embraced true comedy threatens the destruction of everything in hideous laughter, always a spasmodic, pre-metaphysical response
