Or it's just child-like imagination. Not everything needs to be over-analyzed until it's squealing like a stuck pig on christmas eve.

- ravenstine 4y agoYou're on a site full of intellectual types. Of course we're going to over-analyze everything. That's part of the fun! While you have a fair point, I see it as being overly reductive. Yeah, what's being stimulated is the child-like imagination, and that's certainly the most terse way of describing it, but leaving it at that seems to dismiss the inherent mechanics of that type of entertainment. It takes a lot to put a grown adult into that imaginative state, and most people can't do it effectively. If they wanted to, they might struggle because they are no longer children and don't know what it takes to really tickle that part of the brain. I'm not pretending like I would even approach the skill level of someone like Teller, but I like to think I can somewhat understand what he's saying in a similar way to appreciating the artistry of a painting even though I am a lousy artist.
