This is my definition of the fool as well. The fool is he who has stuck his head outside of Plato's Cave to take a look at the real world. With this knowledge, the universal joke becomes apparent, and the fool can only laugh along with it. Thus, the fool does not get caught up in the games of the culture, where the trickster is dominating. When confronted with the trickster, the fool smiles knowing he has the joker up his sleeve.
