If we’re all in a room together and we laugh together, 

we’re temporarily in agreement.

 We’ve also sounded-out our thinking. We make

a noise that shows what we’re thinking, so

laughing together is a way of thinking together.

Just as dancing together at a wedding is a

way of thinking together, or walking together

through a field is a way of thinking together. It’s

immediately sociable and participatory.
