In a good absurdist comedy all the characters are typically awful people. Examples: Alice in Wonderland, Hitchhikers Guide. There are no admirable people. But it’s funny because they’re all usually powerless as well in the face of the arbitrariness of the universe.
It’s both! Huizenga’s Homo Ludens is classic on cosmic aspect. In my bloodcoin talk on YouTube I cover the transactional aspect.

Thanks--will check it out. I just didn't associate honor culture with insults about ignorance or stupidity so much as cowardice or dishonesty. But that depends on the specific honor culture and how well you can know the other people in it, probably.

It's in the subtext of *how* ignorance and knowledge are presented or not presented. Ignorance is hidden/denied. Knowledge is presented as "I always already knew everything I know now"
