    “I laugh to discover I am uncomfortable, I laugh to discover something’s funny, I laugh to discover I am disoriented, that I have no idea what’s going on. This is the capacity of laughter as a physiological phenomenon, this is laughter as reflex as initiator of a complex, cognitive process. I laugh at the relief of hearing somebody else’s laughter to communicate recognition, alliance, empathy. This is the capacity of laughter as a physiological phenomenon playing into the capacity of laughter as a social phenomenon; this is laughter as reflex as initiator of a complex, cognitive process that itself initiates a social interaction.”
