Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
This evolutionary and cognitive theory of humor seeks to reveal the complex science behind why we crack up.A sophisticated analysis . . . written with clarity, good cheer, and, of course, wit. Steven Pinker, author of How The Mind WorksSome things are funnyjokes, puns, sitcoms, Charlie Chaplin, The Far Side, Malvolio with his yellow garters crossedbut why? Why does humor exist in the first place? Why do we spend so much of our time passing on amusing anecdotes, making wisecracks, watching The Simpsons?In Inside Jokes, Matthew Hurley, Daniel Dennett, and Reginald Adams offer an evolutionary and cognitive perspective. Humor, they propose, evolved out of a computational problem that arose when our longago ancestors were furnished with openended thinking. Mother Natureaka natural selectioncannot just order the brain to find and fix all our timepressured misleaps and nearmisses. She has to bribe the brain with pleasure. So we find them funny. This wiredin source of pleasure has been tickled relentlessly by humorists over the centuries, and we have become addicted to the endogenous mind candy that is humor.
By changing our most important processes and
products, we have already made a big leap forward. This ranges from the
increased use of more sustainable fibers to the use of more
environmentally friendly printing processes to the development of
efficient waste management in our value chain.
