  • Have you seen the price of gas?

    Also, Iran has been striking at neighbouring countries, including UAE and Saudi Arabia, and not limited to the military. US owned, or related, assets are juicy targets.

    Logistics in the whole region is a hot mess, and holding 2 racing events with the size and viewership of F1 would not only be impossible to organise, but more importantly, do you really want to host such events in the middle of an active war zone and tempt fate?

    This is an often overlooked aspect indeed. I’m amazed at how much people underestimate the impact that being dead has on one’s humour.

    Delivery becomes impossibly hard. Having a working respiratory system and vocal tract is often expected by the audience, and typical physical humour becomes a stiff challenge.

    “Resolving incongruity” is often a key component of humour, but the brain struggles to make sense of something that is out of place when it becomes completely electrically silent.

    Gallows humours, hilariously ironic to the living, loses some of its impact when you become the literal subject of the joke.

    After dying, our audience is notorious difficult to read, and don’t really offer laughter.

    More importantly, humour carries a dopamine reward, which is greatly reduced to zero, which further disencentivizes it.

    It’s rather grim, really.
