Comedy, while an art, isn’t purely subjective. It has measurable psychological and linguistic components like timing, word choice, and audience response can be studied scientifically. Research in psychology shows how humor activates reward centers in the brain, and linguistics analyzes how syntax or phrasing enhances comedic effect. A professional in these fields could break down why certain jokes land, much like color theory explains why specific hues evoke emotions in paintings, as noted with marketing studies (red for urgency, blue for calm, etc). You dismiss this, implying comedy is too subjective for analysis, but that oversimplifies it. A scientist discussing color theory doesn’t dictate a painting’s quality but provides insight into why it resonates with people and same with comedy. Inviting Huberman’s cousin, a comedian, prioritizes personal perspective over rigorous analysis, which a psychologist or linguist could better provide for a science-based podcast.
