Henri Bergson, wearing a silly hatTime and Free Will (circa 1889)
–>slide 99

  • human experience is a continuous flow
  • not events in succession, as physics would have it

  • intuition not analysis reveals the real world
  • intuition transports you to the interior of an object and allows you to know what is inexpressible about it
  • such as, what is happening within the confines of my silly hat.
Alltop and humor-blogs.com both have an intuition that laughter is an infectious process. I was reminded of Henri Bergson while watching a documentary about Monty Python last week. Originally published in 2006.

Alltop and humor-blogs.com are the ugly savages that ERB’s hero is about to kick the crap out of. In honor of ERB: I read most of his books when I was a kid, until I figured out it was the same story over and over again. Little did I know that is the secret to success in the literary world.
