Why this matters
Comedy matters when "A form of entertainment that uses humor to make people laugh" has to become more than a sentence someone agrees with. It becomes visible when dignity, care, or participation has to be protected in public. It becomes concrete when someone chooses to amuse and lets that action carry the value. That is where the value earns trust: in the gap between what someone says matters and what they actually do.
