Interesting thoughts... reminds me of the fool at a medieval king's court: His job is to make fun of the king, in a way everyone feels, but nobody dares, as any commoner, but even a lord, could expect a death sentence for it, if they tried. So instead, they laugh at the fool, and indirectly at the king, so their troubled minds are somewhat appeased. At the end of the day, the king pays the fool, and may even thank him, as it was his jokes about the king that averted the uprising and thus strengthened the king's power.
