Ricardo Araújo Pereira is the guest on the most recent episode of the podcast "O Princípio da Inquietação". The Portuguese comedian addresses humor as a form of practical philosophy, describing it as a permanent exercise in skepticism that challenges certainties and dismantles solemnity.
In the conversation, topics such as freedom, politics, death and laughter are discussed. Araújo Pereira argues that laughing represents a way of looking at the world sideways, allowing one to never stop questioning reality.
The article includes a reflection on the role of the comedian, who confesses in public things that are unconfessable, and on the audience's reaction, who laugh because they also feel these same things but don't say them. The episode is available to listen to on the podcast.
