“What was that? Heh, heh! The weather. Pbbt! Very peculiar, don't you think?” -“Yeah. Looks like the winds are changing.” “Ah, change is good.” -“Yeah, but it's not easy.”
I've been thinking about this with cartoons. Cartoons get away with a lot without getting cancelled too (e.g., South Park, Family Guy). The medium seems to bypass the usual censors. Edit: Bah! You touched on comics near the end!!! Nice.
I really noticed this in Adventure Time. It pretends to be a cartoon about goofy boy and dog brothers living in a goofy land doing silly things rescuing princesses from the Ice King, but then by season 3 or 4 it sneaks in something serious. And then you realize they're very serious about their world building, lore, magical symbolism and character arcs and real evil shows up, and everything turns out to be really serious and tragic at times. Although they are pushing a bit of LGBT by series finale, but it's still a very interesting work of art if you follow it.
Thinking of the Fool as an archetype from the beginning of humanity, he represents the individual nomad who wanders into a tribal village and mutates the genetic code and also shifts tradition. The energy of the fool is one of a conquering King, meant to shift culture. In a sense😊
Interesting because there are multiple examples on the fool. In Ukraine Zelensky was a comedian and now he is the "king". In Brazil the biggest radio show is a bunch of comedians who are now the only ones in media who are speaking the truth about the world we live in. Strange times indeed.
Surely your turning of things _upside down_ shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
The fool: • In the picture he is flipping the king over; the fool is not taking the king by the hand but the arm; it is against the will of the king; the king has no power; the fool is the leader. • The fool is able to cut through the laws of language. The fool can critique the king because he is “just joking”. “Are you joking or not” - if there is no certainty, it is “a serious joke”. • Memes - ironies and double ironies are very powerful, because there is no certainty if they are meant to be a joke or serious. • Saint Francis is a fool in a way. He undresses in public for example. • Intellectualism: they are authorities. The fool is always undermining authority. • The fool can really shock, because no one expects something serious, when there are people joking; through a joke one can purvey a serious massage more powerfully, because it is not expected. • Today, as there is this authority of intellectualism, the smartest questions you could ask sound to people like the dumbest questions you could ask. There is so much confidence in the scientific explanations: “But why are there living things at all; where did the first living things come from? (Sounds stupid but is not).
This made me think of an interesting thought experiment: Try and come up with an image that caricatures or demeans the image of Christ on the Cross. I couldn’t do it. I don’t think it’s possible. This is the amazing thing about the Crucifixion, it’s the lowest and most humiliating death that Christ could have suffered, which means that you can’t really subvert it or usurp it. The Fool cannot “flip” that image.
I don't think that's true. There are many ways you could make Christ's crucifixion more humiliating. I see your point, but I just don't think it really holds.
'The jester can even critique the king because he's quote/unquote "just joking" '
When they talk about king not wanting to return I have an image of Simba not wanting to return. And Rafiki is surely a fool, so on point 🙂

...and the Fool on the Hill sees the Son coming down and the eyes in his head sees the world spinning round.

Wonderful talk and image. Thanks!

This is profound!
Lovely description of the fool
Surely your turning of things _upside down_ shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
The Lord preserveth the strangers; he relieveth the fatherless and widow: but the way of the wicked he turneth _upside down._

The fool:
• In the picture he is flipping the king over; the fool is not taking the king by the hand but the arm; it is against the will of the king; the king has no power; the fool is the leader.
• The fool is able to cut through the laws of language. The fool can critique the king because he is “just joking”. “Are you joking or not” - if there is no certainty, it is “a serious joke”.
• Memes - ironies and double ironies are very powerful, because there is no certainty if they are meant to be a joke or serious.
• Saint Francis is a fool in a way. He undresses in public for example.
• Intellectualism: they are authorities. The fool is always undermining authority.
• The fool can really shock, because no one expects something serious, when there are people joking; through a joke one can purvey a serious massage more powerfully, because it is not expected.
• Today, as there is this authority of intellectualism, the smartest questions you could ask sound to people like the dumbest questions you could ask. There is so much confidence in the scientific explanations: “But why are there living things at all; where did the first living things come from? (Sounds stupid but is not).
The fool is the intellectual, the king is the fool, the rest are either a mob or the critics.

Nice try, Satan. ;)

The cult of intellectualism, That word has been used to define the culture of the young pseudo-intellectuals in Iran for many years.
That cult is very powerful in Western universities.

Why do humans work? What is a human? Can I trust you?
No
"Human is a stretched out rope between the animal and the 'beyond human'"
Trust the overall totality of experience but not individual interactions or first contacts with humans. They represent an information based hazard.
