One of the funniest in the last couple years.

Anti semitism aside, this is probably one of the clearest examples of how much humor is *not* about cleverness.

Tension and release ONLY.

“I’m not gonna say what race .. it was this race.”

First phrase builds tension thru expectation. Second phrase subverts expectation and releases the tension thru excellent timing and delivery. That’s it. It can be THIS dumb and be funny. Okay now listen to this. This is so so succinct - a fully contained joke within itself. Perfection.

Just 15 words. But the last two words transform the ENTIRE first thirteen - the absolute essence of what “punchline” means. Learn from this.

the important thing to realize is
A) ayn rand captures something very precious about being alive. she respects the ineffability of life experience and thus naturally connects with brilliant, misunderstood, sensitive and neurodivergent folks.

B) she really hates most of humanity and many people who thirst for A, don't realize they are swallowing B in the process.

and it's not their fault because Rand literally connects them together ALL the time.

"one can't love man without hating most of the creatures who pretend to bear his name" is a literal quote

Kindness makes a person feel good in a way no other quality really approaches.

Talent won’t do it. Status won’t. Money doesn’t. Having emotional vocabulary doesn’t. Therapy speak won’t. Even a history of prior interactions.

Kindness + calm has an unmatched emotional signature. When you’re with a truly large hearted and kind person, a part of you just relaxes and opens up and *feels good* in a way that leaves an indelible impression on you.

It’ll bring a smile to your face to even think of this person.
