Entertainment is an industry :)

It would be unwise to filter out the fun people. We'd all become a bunch of unfun nerds.

Sir, this is HN. Being an unfun nerd is practically a prerequisite.

Don’t worry. Self-awareness is not required. ;)

While I know you wrote this in jest, you raise a very good point! A lot of people with STEM jobs unwind after a long day by watching or listening to comedy -- TV, film, stand-up, YouTube, whatever. I have no issue with it. Also, lots of them go home and play video games. That is another form of entertainment (fun).

The latter part is in jest anyway. The former is true! It would be quite boring to live in a world without a proper entertainment industry -- agreed.
