The psychology can do it again.
According to my findings, as thorough as I am, having fun should be made fun by this knowledge: that as long as you are prepared for the course, the process of learning makes fun what it is. Fun is added to by exploration and subtracted from by trauma; and the human experience with solving abysmal puzzles is one of a neural paid like a phantom pain. The more you know about the thing when you start fun: as you learn the more about that subject, the mechanic becomes intuitive and mechanically obvious. If you experience physical pain: no fun. If you experienced simulated death: great fun. 👍
Funny doesn't fall far from this definition. Funny is an experience that allows you to realize the differences between your expectations and your sympathies in a non-painful place. If you found a briefcase of unmarked dollar bills while taking your trash to a dump, then you'll have to ask how often good money gets thrown after the bad, but at least you'll have free money. The experience is horror without the trauma; understanding that the mechanics of what you see aren't your expectations of a good time. That's the experience of the Playboy story of Hugh Hefner - even among activists, nobody lives that free and I for one want liberation!
