De Bono's Thinking Course
It has always amazed me how little attention philosophers, psychologists and information theorists have paid to humor. Humor is probably the most significant characteristic of the human mind. It tells us much more about how the system works than does anything else. Reason tells us very little and we can devise reasoning systems with pebbles, beads on an abacus, cogwheels or electronics. But humor can only occur in a self-organizing pattering system of the sort we find in human perception.
