would jokes not being funny be enough to entail fragmentation, while jokes turning into offensive is a sufficient but not necessary condition for fragmentation?

You think professional stand ups are the arbiter of the state of humor. I’m beginning to understand where you’re coming from.

Humor is part of the fabric of everyday life, not a profession. I can see how far my own humor goes in different directions. Appealing to the authority of comedians for humor is like appealing to the authority of musicians for ambient sounds

Dude you’re the one claiming we’re at zero mean free path for jokes which is clearly not the case because I can *see* jokes traveling farther all the time. Pro comedy is irrelevant here. Stage humor does not determine cultural fragmentation levels.

Clearer example: are we in an obesity epidemic/healthcare crisis? By your logic, no, because Olympic athletes are healthier and fitter than ever.

I don’t know about you but I wasn’t looking for humor here. I have no trouble finding humor when I want it. I’ve had you tagged as ‘gloomy’ from our first interaction (which is fine, I like sentimental variety in my stream)

Dunno, but not zero. I’ve not personally felt constrained in writing the kinds of funny blog posts or tweets I’ve wanted to. What I think is happening is that some people are gaining and others are being constrained, with net increase in humor. Just not from the same old crowd.
