Bataille notes that if you try to ascend the mystical summit, God demands that you start to kill people. It's far better to rest in your insufficiency, not to try to be a perfect ape for God, because you'll end up unsufficient and wanting to kill yourself anyway.
To laugh, however, is to pull the rug out from yourself and others: It is to enter the realm of insufficiency and enjoy oneself doing so.
My memoir is somewhat on this level, at least it ultimately became so, even though it began as a search for sufficiency and an ascent to the summit.
