Across the Curriculum
What makes us laugh?
What makes us cry?
What makes us invent?
Create? Innovate?
All three: symptomatic
responses to crash,
& collision...
...of two or more matrices,
Koestler calls it in his big
book The Act of
Arthur Koestler was a
biologist and novelist.
Some hoity-toity politician
in high hat steps out of a
limousine, and ooops slip-
sliding away, on ice now
dancing slow motion: arms
flail, legs askew, down &
down he goes round &
round he goes ooo myyy
gawd butt against a hard
sidewalk, damnit. Hard,
I said: the sidewalk. .
The bi-sociation (Koestler’s
word for it) of two (or more)
matrices:
x) matrix one: distinguished high
society on the one hand;
z) matrix two: twinkle-toes &
tumble like a clown on
the other hand
Generating laughter
OR sympathy OR
the invention of ice
grippers for the soles
of your feet so this
will never ever
happen again; we
can never let this
happen again. .
Ha Ha
oh my
aHA!
Comedy, Tragedy, Creativity
(innovation)
all driven by the Clash of Contextual
harassment: bump & grind somabitch
ouch ooo hurts I'm not kidding: a
rock& a hard place & foe dichotomies.
It's all relative, all related.
Relationship uber alles.
IT, I said.
Rigor & Innovation.
Laughter and Tears.
