幽默的秘密源泉不是欢乐而是悲伤。在天堂是没有幽默的。
妙极!
.....
其实,不少西方现代艺术,都有点玩深沉、没事找事的味道。要说它们的那些构想,最合适的对象倒是我们中国。荒诞是当今中国社会的常态。生活中的任何一个片断,再平常不过的,只要被聚焦,就成了讽刺,就成了艺术,就震撼,就惊世骇俗。
.....
非常同意!有人不断贬低当代艺术,甚至不屑,其实是因为他们缺少幽默的神经。胡平一语中的,解读了当代艺术的技巧与特征,在最没有艺术的地方,艺术就开始显现,剥离那些苦难的硬壳,幽默如青橄榄。
这篇写得好。

老胡又讲少儿童言了。所谓幽默笑话,黑色也罢,黄色也罢,还是英美最盛行。英国社会和政治幽默更深刻低俗尖锐一些,美国更温和和理性一点点。我觉着,主要是美语发音比较缓一点。
中国这十年才跟上。网民也很有创意。黑色幽默是民意力量和觉醒的体现。对国家而言是好事情吧。意识到自己的不幸,才可能有幸福在前面。 - posted on 04/02/2010
Almost every sentence that the collectivists uttered is a joke. To see that it is joke, one needs not only a sense of humor but also an understanding of the inherent fallacies in the collectivist thinking. That understanding cannot be based on the so-called "common sense" and intuition because some so-called "common sense" does not make sense at all and a lot of fallacies are intuitive. Eyes need to be trained in order to see the usually unseen jokes. To trained eyes, the current existent reality itself is made of lots and lots of jokes. One with trained eyes cannot help but laugh. But actually the laugh cannot hide the frustration, anger and despair; and it is just a way of escaping from the reality not a way of fighting. The fighters are true heroes. Heroes are very few. - posted on 04/02/2010
Talking about fighters, those fighting in the politics arena are less efficient than those who write in their study rooms. The politics fighter receive the spotlight. But the true force in changing comes from those who write in their study rooms. But there is a time lag between the writing and the change. That time lag may be as long as many decades or even centuries. Most of the writers in that sense do not get recognition in their life time because of that time lag. That time lag is caused by inertia in the thinking of the masses and even the intellectual "elites".
Thinking in that way, I do not view those so called democracy fighters with dazed eyes any more. Most of those so called democracy fighter are actually still collectivists. They are still under heavy influence of the anti-liberty thinkers. The masses are even worse.
The existence of the current reality can be explained with such thinking. The classical liberalism ideas have not gained its deserved preponderance in the minds of the intellectual elites yet, not to mention the masses.
Opportunism is unwarranted. It takes centuries. - posted on 04/02/2010
The classical liberalism ideas do not appeal to emotion but appeal to reason. But most persons, even the so called intellectual "elites", are not equipped with enough reasoning abilities. Most persons like those ideas that appeal to their emotion better those that appeal to their reason. That is the main reason of the dire reality. In that sense, classical liberalism will never gain its deserved preponderance in the minds of the human beings. And thus this reality will more or less remain the same in centuries to come. - posted on 04/02/2010
The acceptance of the classical liberalism ideas requires that the acceptor have reasoning abilities. But the classical liberalism ideas themselves are not based on such abstract constructs as "rational" "economic man", etc. The classical liberalism ideas are based on reality. But most persons in the existent reality and future realities do not want to accept the classical liberalism ideas because their lack of reasoning abilities. In the end, the classical liberalism ideas will only remain in the minds of some true intellectual elites with a little bit of spillover into the reality world.
