After trying so hard to make a point and being trashed at every corner, his only defensive retreat is to find courage in humor.
Legend has it that shortly after Adam was created, he complained: ‘O, Lord! You have given the lion fierce teeth and claws, and the elephant formidable tusks; you have given the deer swiftness of legs, and the turtle a protective shell; you have given the birds of flight wings, but you have left me altogether defenceless.’ And the Lord said unto Adam: ‘I shall give you an invisible weapon that will serve you and your children better than any weapons of fight or flight, a power that will save you even from yourself. I shall give you the sense of humor.’
While humor is a wonderful coping mechanism, when it is misused to hide ignorance and shame, as in the current situation, it is akin to watching a suffering animal slowly die of oxygen starvation.He’s just wallowing in his own shit and blowing out pointless hot air. It’s actually sad to watch. He is clinging to some small bit of self-delusional ego preservation that convinces him he does not look like the other stupid fucks that visit the site and don’t have a clue of what they are talking about. It’s sad to watch.
