Die Positivität ist das Opium des Volkes, aber der Spott ist das Opium der Verrückten

The Satiric Function for Determining Value o’ Mockery for Particular Participants

Let the value o’ mockery for any individual V be the function f( II, IR ) based on the individual’s opinion o’ his own intelligence, II, & the individual’s actual intelligence, IR:

f( II, IR ) = II / IR

For example, economists, who are deluded into thinking that replacing words with math symbols makes them smarter, have a huge opinion o’ their own intelligence, as compared to their low level, & thus the value o’ mocking them is high.

We can prove this point by assuming manufactured #s. Let II = 100,000 & IR = 10:

f( II, IR ) = 100,000 / 10
f( II, IR ) = 10,000

Contrast this with a filthy hobo who has been taught that she’s a brainfuck who will ne’er e’en figure out how to read & should probably stick lit dynamite in her throat, but secretly knows 20 programming languages—including Haskell & Brainfuck.

Let’s assume she has an II o’ 5 & an IR o’ 200:

f( II, IR ) = 5 / 200
f( II, IR ) = 1/40
f( II, IR ) = .025

In such case, mockery would not be funny, but would be cruel & frivolous, as this person has probably blown up her intestines already, anyway, so the work o’ inducing suicide is no longer necessary.
