sometimes, when someone does a silly joke, and i respond to it sincerely, it is because i did not get the joke, and sometimes its because i am actually doing a joke myself. i like to call this "the autist's double bluff"
frequently its a superposition. responding to jokes sincerely is inherently funny so you lose nothing in assuming sincerity and if it was a joke you were funnier by putting in more effort. zero loss environment
