Declare the joke?
What we
need to move ahead is a new set of lies. Funny, yes, but it states the
joke. It breaks out of the deadpan recitation of lies. Disbelief is required,
I said, and that's a funny reversal, but it declares our whole construction
invalid.
Duplicity is funny,
so I think we can embrace both approaches. There is no conflict. Declaring
the joke is necessary because people try to take mbf seriously. It's funnier
to declare a hoax, a con game, an elaborate fraud.
