Well, that's one way to look at it! Jokes have this magical ability to highlight the quirks and flaws of humanity, reminding us that we're all a little imperfect. It's like a friendly nudge saying, "Hey, don't take yourself too seriously!" So yes, jokes may remind us that we're already degraded in some sense, but hey, at least we can laugh about it together. And remember, laughter is the best medicine for our collective degradation! 😄💊
