The Fool is one of the most dangerous archetypes. They are socially in tune, able to read the room and their audience. Masters of self deprecation, and also able to change the tone of any situation with their wit. But they also have hidden ambitions and desires. Beneath the mask of the fool could be hidden anything from fatigue to utmost contempt. The Fool who wields the blade will surprise their victim the most.

it occurred to me recently how laughter and tears are perfect mirrors of each other. In their purest forms, both uncontrollable outburst of sound and movement. One an expression of joy and the other sorrow, but seem fundamentally the same somehow. One can laugh themselves into tears or cry themselves into laughing at its absurdity.

[@jamesbyrne9312]

Maybe it's because the meaning we create in life is malleable.

[@jacquelinepayne2012]

Repressed sorrow and grief when allowed to be expressed through tears and crying can be a catharsis which when spent can lead to a deeper appreciation of life with feelings of relief, joy and laughter. This grieving over losses of all kinds is an essential part of recovery and healing.

Within the realm of psychology, being a fool meaning, a mind without thought, is actually extremely powerful. A person who is without thought often seems like it sounds, sort of thoughtless. However this person is also free of worry, anxiety and judgement. They are able to perform calmy. They can persue and achieve goals without resistance. They simply do... A thoughtless mind is also fundamentally content and somewhat happy. They're pretty in tune with themselves which seems counterintuitive however an active mind also actively neglects parts of itself while it ruminates about the past or fears the future of what could happen. Again, a mind full of thoughts is not present. They are in tune with themselves and also others. Lack of judgement is freeing in that way. A lot of buddhist teaching is about emptying the mind and being present. When we are present, we cann more clearly see things as they truly are. When our thoughts are active, we often interject our biases onto things. In that sense, while the fool may seem foolish, more often then not, they see a world more true and clear than others. They may not understand deeply, however they know all they need to know. In that sense, a fool is incredibly dangerous. While someone may dance around a topic, thinking of the best way to do something, or the best way to avoid some form of suffering, the fool simplu chooses what seems convinient in that moment. Therefore the fool is extremely mobile in many facets of life. They are more experienced then most because they are much more willing and much more active where others are cautious. Definitely learn to be a fool. Learn which moments in your life are convinient not to think.

[@deangajraj]

The concept of the fool archetype is indeed a timeless one and can be traced back to a number of cultures throughout history. Psychologically, the archetype represents the impulsive and instinctual aspects of human nature that are suppressed in modern society. When folly is present, freedom is allowed to express itself and to be creative, offering a temporary escape from social norms and constraints. The wise fool figure illustrates the intricate relationship between reason and emotion present in humanity. Many professionals in areas like psychology, philosophy, and literature believe that individuals who can take advantage of both their wisdom and foolishness possess a special outlook leading to inventive solutions and increased imagination. Hence, what may seem insignificant on the outside is actually quite important for comprehending human thought processes.

I think The Fool is so revered because he doesn’t put rational and reasoning at the forefront of every decision, but rather follows through on pure and honest intent. Our rationality is what has elevated us above the rest of the animal kingdom, but it also holds us back. Just as we can reason ourselves into doing what is right, we can reason ourselves into doing what is wrong. Many people use rationality as a means to keep themselves from doing what scares them. The fool has no inhibitions here. He is unapologetically himself.

Summary: Embrace the fool archetype and develop the sage archetype to achieve balance and wisdom in life, as seen in various literary works and the Fool's Journey in Tarot. 🃏 Embrace the fool archetype and develop the sage archetype to achieve balance and wisdom in life, as seen in Erasmus' In Praise of Folly. 00:00 🤡 The fool can be clever and serve as a warning, but the sad clown paradox highlights the dark side of comedy and its association with mental disorders. 05:18 🃏 Embrace the "fool" within yourself to bring fresh ideas and prevent a sterile inner landscape, as the court jester's role was to entertain and ward off evil while speaking the truth and ridiculing the king through humor. 08:38 🏰 Parsifal's journey to become a knight leads to the realization that the Holy Grail is the center of meaning in human life. 14:41 📚 Don Quixote warns of the dangers of delusion, while The Idiot explores themes of corruption and redemption, and Ivan the Fool becomes a hero through his spontaneous wisdom and kindness. 17:33 🃏 The Fool's Journey in Tarot represents a lifelong process of psychological and spiritual death and rebirth, with the Fool symbolizing innocence and purity. 24:48 🤔 💭 Don't overthink, embrace the unknown and take the first step towards self-discovery with a beginner's mind. 31:59 🤔 The fool archetype represents both initiative and resistance in the journey towards self-realization, embodying an undeveloped aspect of the psyche and possessing the courage to be oneself in all circumstances.

Kanye described fool in a way too with his example: If a shirtless guy runs in the middle of highway, he is looked at as he is insane. But if 100 other men follow him,it’s a marathon. Simple yes but in a way anything out of the ordinary is looked as a foolery first

I'm not even joking this is now my kost favorite channel in KZbin ever for how much knowledge relations it sits within me. I'm not joking it's taking me 30 mins or more to comprehend an feel an inner relationship between everything that's said about these old therianthropic theories? I hope that's the right words I'ma look that up after. But it literally takes 30 mins to comprehend 1 minute of information from these wideoz. It's absolutely wild an I commend you for making these videos an if there's any way I can support the channel personally I would love to know how cuz you are doing such great work with these videos putting together such high intelligent content that no one else but you that I've seen that does it in the fashion that's presented in such a knowledge an straight to the point. Ive fallen deeply in love with all your videos for how much this topic has related with me before I ever new this was a topic... Before watching these videos today I literally felt that this was only inner knowledge I felt an thought others might think I'm insane even though I knew this was only for certain individuals who choose to look high an deep for soul purposes.anyway thank you .

A tricksters acknowledges and changes the cage it finds itself in. The fool carries the cage and shares its remarks into the cage. The fool is free from everything. Its free from expectations, free from responsability, free from norms, free from people, free from his thoughts and truly embracing its desires and flow of mind. A fool knows without thinking and treads with no caution. Always moving and bearing the ever changing cage. The step of a fool is a step of the world.

"Sometimes you have to fool the fool who thinks they're fooling you"

[@Blacknarock]

I'm from Romania and we have a story about a character like this. We call him Păcală but in English would be The Tricker. One of 3 brothers and the small of the 3. His actions all the time seem fool and yet everytime like a mastermind despite messing everything up he always wins something or gets the advantage from something. He does stupid things like when his brothers told him to grab the door refering to closing the door while he grab the literal door and started to carry it with him. He does a lot of things that don't make sense for the people around him and yet everytime those stupid things end up helping him somehow. I never thought about the character fool in itself is a state of being something that makes us keep the balance. Untill I saw this video.. I'm gonna subscribe cuz I love the presentation so much. The story with the Tricker I always loved it since despite not knowing anything and not knowing to do things how he should he always gets something out of doing the wrong or the stupid thing. Is like the luck is fully with him always no matter what he does. While he sounds like you described the Trickster personality. He is not evil or wants to manipulate the people for his amusement but rather that's how sometimes tricks people without intending to trickt them. He is very believable and people tend to belive in his foolishness without second thought.

I was tripping on the subject of the fool as the beginning, the center, and the 0 which represents the potential to become any number, point from which everything emanates, last year around May. It just kept expanding the more i thought about it and this video touched on a lot of what i was thinking about and some topics that didn't occur to me at the time. Anyway imma shutup.

The fool is perception, for we are all the fool in effort to further appreciate the purity of existence itself. To accept the fool, is to accept the willingness to free oneself from limitation, from belief in the stead of knowledge gained. Belief came with denial of the fool, which was perfectly timed for us to learn how to accept without understanding. These videos are quite wonderful, thank you to all the people who spend effort making these videos. **wrote this at the beginning of the video, and am now laughing at how perfectly life aligns when you truly accept self as life and truly love unconditionally**

Wisdom is not a static endpoint - like admitting you're a fool, but rather a dynamic process. It evolves with you, shaped and enriched by the unique tapestry of your life-your failures, successes, relationships, and even your follies. If there were a "highest form of wisdom," it would be difficult, if not impossible, to encapsulate it in mere words.

[@HowardARoark]

Very very interesting, and very erudite, much appreciated. I guess being like this is most feasible when one does not have the responsibility to support children. But it is vital that we have this kind of person in our society, otherwise we will become grid-locked psychologically, and life would be rather dull.
