2 Ideat strategisena huumorina - Strategic humor An exercise of wit, or a skillful articulation of a foolish idea, that fundamentally changes the way a particular situation is inescapably viewed, and relieves the pressure of having to view it in a particular, inapt or self-serving way. It thus creates an opportunity for innovation.

7 The Shakespearean fool: The Fool does not follow any ideology. He rejects all appearances, of law, justice, moral order. He sees brute force, cruelty and lust. He has no illusions and does not seek consolation in the existence of natural or supernatural order, which provides for the punishment of evil and the reward of good. Lear, insisting on his fictitious majesty, seems ridiculous to him. All the more ridiculous because he does not see how ridiculous he is. But the Fool does not desert his ridiculous, degraded king, and accompanies him on his way to madness. The Fool knows that the only true madness is to recognize this world as rational.
