Plato and a Platypus Walk into a Bar… Understanding Philosophy Through Jokes - Thomas Cathcart, Daniel Klein Audiobook

The Roman satirist Juvenal famously quipped “Difficile est saturam non scibere” — it’s difficult not to write satire. It was difficult nearly two millennia ago, and Thomas Cathcart and Daniel Klein prove it still is today.
Satire provides a profound examination of an idea. Aristotle wrote “Humor is the only test of gravity, for a subject which will not bear raillery is suspicious, and a jest which will not bear serious examination is false wit.”
It’s been said he identified a very compelling reason for using humor: it’s a test of ideas. Humor is a challenge to the very core of an idea — its gravity, its seriousness. If an idea can’t withstand humor it will crumble under intellectual scrutiny.
In a section on Aristotle contrasting between “essential” and “accidental” properties, Cathcar and Klein offer this illustrative joke:
When Thompson hit 70, he decided to change his lifestyle completely so he could live longer. He went on a strict diet, he jogged, he swam and he took sunbaths. In just three months’ time, Thompson lost 30 pounds and reduced his waist by six inches. Svelte and tan, he decided to top it off with a new haircut. Stepping out of the barbershop, he was hit by a bus.
As he lay dying, he cried out, “God, how could you do this to me?”
And a voice from the heavens responded: “To tell you the truth, Thompson, I didn’t recognize you.”
We laugh - why? The answer to the question ‘why’ gives us understanding about philosophy, ourselves, and the world around us.
