About this listen

DISCLAIMER: Video contains discussion of offensive humour. In this episode of The Lockean Diaries, we explore the nature of humour and its impact on society through philosophical understanding of laughter, examining theories like incongruity and how they shape our understanding of what makes us laugh. We'll trace the historical evolution of humour, from its roots to its role in modern society, including the newly emerging phenomenon of brainrot and the viral sensation of Skibidi Toilet, and the future-predicting episodes of the Simpsons. Our discussion will highlight the powerful intersection of satire and politics, while tackling the implications of censorship on comedy and inclusivity in humour. Whether you're a comedy enthusiast or simply curious about the deeper meanings behind laughter, this episode offers a rich exploration of why humour matters in our lives. Thank you to Alex (squared) for joining us in this discussion! And sorry to Cass who's face didn't quite make the cut (although, you've got to admit that's rather funny...)
