Classical #comedy itself is etymologically associated with Greek kōmōidía, commonly understood as a “revel-song” or party-song; early comic performance grew out of revels involving teasing, ridicule, and making fun of public figures.

Sanskrit poets embedded philosophical arguments in puns that worked on two levels.
Nahua orators criticized their rulers through wordplay, one layer was politically safe, the other seditious.
A listener who caught the double meaning knew the speaker’s actual position without triggering retaliation.
The skill lay not in #humor but in plausible deniability.

The Whole Boodle
People keep asking me one question, so here is the answer, whole: the history, the intention, the meaning, the being, and, at the end, the me. "What's a Boodle Boy?" I get the question at dinner tables, in podcast mail, in the pause after a lecture when someone has finally worked up the nerve. My business cards claim the title. My websites announce it. A consultancy of my own wears the name. The asker usually half-expects a punchline, because the phrase sounds like something a vaudeville comic would shout while falling off a stage, and some people assume the whole thing is a pun on Boles. Those vowels help, I admit. History does the heavy lifting. The honest answer needs a Sunday night in 1974, a Dutch probate record from 1699, a safe-deposit vault stuffed with bribe money in St. Louis, a candy raid at West Point, and a banana leaf piled with garlic rice somewhere on Luzon. It also needs a teenaged cadet holding a pot of coffee. Pour yourself a cup, and I will lay the whole boodle on the table. […] -

Certain framings assign weight to individual choice while obscuring broader conditions. Comparisons emerge between different positions. Language choices shape perception of need. Vulnerability occupies space between acknowledgment and discomfort. Recognition exists alongside resistance.

The Cost of Being Easy to Love
There's a kind of doubt that doesn't feel like doubt at all. It feels like good sense. You have a feeling, a real one, and before it's even fully arrived some part of you is already checking it: is this safe to say out loud? That check happens so fast most people never catch it working. What they catch is the aftermath: I don't really know what I want. Except that's not quite true. They know. Something just got there first and talked them out of it before they noticed. That's closer to what […]https://getawaywithhamza.wordpress.com/2026/08/15/the-cost-of-being-easy-to-love/

Due to its impermanence, there is nothing in this world truly worth doing, except working to escape.
(According to Buddhism, neither salvation by a deity nor physical death/suicide is an escape from rebirth. Meditation is the only escape.)

The Spanish word negocio means #business.
It comes from a Latin word that has a really interesting #history.
The Latin word negotium was made from two smaller word parts:
• nec means “not”
• ōtium means “free time” or “relaxation”So when you put them together, negotium literally meant “not free time.”
It described what people did when they weren’t relaxing: the work, the duties, the jobs.
The business that kept people busy.
