        It’s a known fact that comedians are inherently intelligent in an altruistic, categorical or savant-esaue kind of way. Comedy is important in establishing a “hypothetical within philosophy. You must be able to argue, even in the most ludicrous theory, against your own point.

        I give you Mike Pence, but pretty sure he wouldn't walk into a bar. He would talk about creating a new, unnecessary branch of military to patrol an endless vacuum. That is pretty funny.

        Can’t we teach robots to be improv presidents? Comics have enough competition and let’s face it improv sucks.
