science has entrenched itself in stating that original humanism is an idiocy, science believes that only scientific humanism can suffice, and original humanism i.e. humanism not schooled in science is a waste of time, man's development watching paint dry, i.e.: i feel dumber writing a poem and not an equation to align to einstein's relativity.
the english don't recognise long-term humour, a bit like the polish not able to recognise old school migrants of their mutual organic constituents speaking their tongue, they play it dumb, with statements like huh? what? om? the english are smart, let's not disagree, but their intelligence is short-lived, like their appreciation of humour, quick wit buckle stiletto (meaning an easy girl), they're intelligent in terms of how quickly you colt-drawn a six-shooter into conversation for a pick-me-up, the english have short-term intelligence exercised for humoristic attention, their long-term humour is used in defending democracy... the english have no long-term humour parameters, i'm guessing because of the celts... it's all short-term, i.e.: how quickly can i retort to a joke and choke on a whimsical mushroom that's an umbrella? hence the many innovations... steam engine... the umbilical cord attached to arabia... joke is quick... joking is quicker... tense social parameters of having a drink... laugh it up... drink alone.
they make slapstick damnable and satire exceptional, but their satire requires canned laughter, it's called satire but i call it lazy humour... look what slapstick gave us... charlie chaplin gave birth to adolf ******* ******!
