<p>Perhaps with comedy as an "art form" we might adopt an anything goes mindset?</p>
<p>Should we destroy/abandon/diminish art from a 1000 years ago - or learn from it - by trying to understand the "truth "of that time vs. the "truth" of the current time?</p>
<p>Is it safe to assume that the "truth" of the current time is always more true than the "truth" of the past?</p>
<p>Does that mean that the "truth" of today will be less true in the future?</p>

<p>To abandon comedy would be an apocalyptic act. Consider, though, the way stand-up comics develop and continuously refine their material. It is an "agile" approach in which they take their writing to the stage and let audience reaction to the content and delivery determine how or whether they move forward with a particular joke, story or routine. But, times change and so do audiences. So, even if they drop a joke from their line-up today, they keep a storehouse of these for later review…</p>
<p>To abandon comedy would be an apocalyptic act. Consider, though, the way stand-up comics develop and continuously refine their material. It is an "agile" approach in which they take their writing to the stage and let audience reaction to the content and delivery determine how or whether they move forward with a particular joke, story or routine. But, times change and so do audiences. So, even if they drop a joke from their line-up today, they keep a storehouse of these for later review and possible resurrection. At an even more micro level, comic writers and humorists are reductionists. Within any one joke or routine, they seek to eliminate any word, intonation or gesture that doesn't add to the joke's impact. The best are like Michelangelo who chiseled away everything that wasn't the sculpture. Great comics chip away all that doesn't serve the laugh. It seems that these are readily translatable lessons for business and organizational problem solving.</p>

<p>I decided to remove the Carol Burnett video and most of the other humor videos related to this conference to increase the potential for objective reactions to the humor "idea." I will connect the names of the entertainers to Wikipedia articles. Here is a quote from the article on Carol Burnett:</p>
