Joke point disclose
This Joke makes laughing scarsticlly by balanced antithesis.
- Philosophy: objective (yes) rule (no)
- Mathematics: objective (no) rule(yes) This joke makes sharp ironic contrast:
- Nomally, legitimate game should be not only having objective, but also having rule. But the two foundational disciplines each lack one half.
- Hits the nail on the head for insiders: Those who study philosophy often joke about its lack of fixed rules, everyone says what they want; Mathematicians frequently gripe about working with strict rules yet no inherent purpose The funny part lies in this sharp contrast.
