Humor and Philosophy by Duncan M. Smith
In a satirical dialogue a speaker asserts influence in a meeting while dissenters face social pressure to speak or leave. The piece mocks loud talkers and the blunt power of platform authority, ending with a wry joke about reform and heiresses.
Running a Risk
A speaker describes a risky situation with a person nearly living hand to mouth and a close connection that causes near self harm, implying precarious circumstances and potential consequences.
Supplied With His Kind Stage Temptation
A terse dialogue notes one man’s urge to perform on stage and societal restraint. The exchange reveals objections not from people but from lack of scene shifters, hinting at backstage constraints in a theater setting.
Adversity and Resolve Carve Paths to Prosperity
The passage argues adversity yields prosperity when faced with hard work and perseverance. It warns against false promoters of trouble and notes people judge others by their self perception. It humorously cautions about free offerings and social habits amid shifting incentives and the eggs ham paradox.
