Zhuangzi, beyond Authenticity and Sincerity with Hans-Georg Moeller

Rhizastance had the opportunity to speak with Hans-Georg Moeller about various aspects of humour in Zhuangzi, and we attempted to dissect the elusive nature of such humour as a way of life, as well as the philosophical and political implications of such genuine pretending. In this context, the distinction between authenticity and sincerity was also highlighted and used to underline the role of such playfulness in exposing prtence and hypocrisy.

(rough timestamp 1h12min-1h14min) What if there's an expectation of incongruity between the actors (in the end while talking to another we always have at least a vague un conscious sense of difference and a tension albeit small from it) and this is met by the presentation of congruity/harmony specific to their shared cultural/physical/personal environment? Wouldn't this expectation of incongruity which is met with congruity be an incongruity resulting in a cognitive evaluation of the situation as being humourous?
