Coach Pāṇini ®Eventually, philosophers arrived at the superiority theory of humor, according to which every joke is, at its core, a hostile attack designed to affirm the comic’s dominance and assure the subjugation of its target. 2/3<a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Plato" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Plato</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/Aristotle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aristotle</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/comedy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comedy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/cruelty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cruelty</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/ThomasHobbes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ThomasHobbes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/laughter" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#laughter</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/humor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#humor</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/philosophy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/jokes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#jokes</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/comic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#comic</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/dominance" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#dominance</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/subjugation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#subjugation</a>

Flipboard Culture DeskIt's scary season (the week before the U.S. election). Rachel Hadas, a professor of English at Rugers University, has written this piece for <a href="https://newsie.social/@TheConversationUS" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@TheConversationUS</a> about how the classics speak to these times.

The fear and pity Aristotle ascribes to tragedy are the emotions of the spectator," she writes.<a href="https://flip.it/-r5OHb" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flip.it/-r5OHb</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Literature</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ClassicLiterature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ClassicLiterature</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Virgil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Virgil</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Aristotle" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Aristotle</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USElection</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Politics</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/English" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#English</a>
