Logos is what you are saying, pathos is the way you say it, ethos is what people think you are. [Showing a video of self-depreciation. I obsessed over seeing how the subtitles didn't match up.] "It's not just British people who can do self-depreciation."

(Oh hey this talk isn't recorded. So this will be your only exposure! Look how civically mindful I am) "Most speakers want to show how clever they are." Often we use laughter to show we understand a topic. Examples of SOA, XML jokes. #gotochgo

"We laugh to show we belong" Apparently mathematics in her university wrote math jokes all the time. A study found it was mostly to establish themselves as a group. (My favorite "funny equation" is ` sin x = 2 x = -2i / (s * n) `)

"Humor can push people apart" "Who here has bullied someone as a child." (Only two people raised their hand, and one of them was me) Sexist humor can make men more tolerant of sexism and sexist beliefs

Humor can pull people together. "We think funny people are more smarter and more attractive." Nobody really knows why we do this. Maybe an indicator of "mental fitness?" #GOTOchgo

Men and women "want people with a sense of humor". "Men like women to laugh at their jokes, and women like men to laugh at their jokes AND make their own." (I definitely look for both) Fake smiles and real smiles use different parts of the brain (Broadman's area 24 vs 4)

She said something implying that area of the brain only fully develops when you're in your thirties. [We're now watching a video of a woman looking sad] We unconsciously mirror people's faces when we see them

[Showing a happy video of kids. I'm forcing myself not to enjoy it due to paranoid fear of mindjacking]

We find surprising connections funny. She's showing an example of google autocomplete making unintentional jokes. Some more examples I'm not writing down because they went by a bit quickly to provide full context

"Things I find funny: Blackadder, Seinfeld, xkcd, Dilbert, Anti-jokes, Sarcasm, Irony, Satire." ( nooooo on xkcd :( NOOOO on Dilbert D: ) (Antijokes are good though)
