I've known about this line for a while "we used to laugh at comedians and take our politicians seriously but now we laugh at our politicians and take our comedians seriously"
I couldn't figure out why exactly - hypothesis: ce comedians are (by accident or design) brave, and they need to look deeply at the world for their craft. While significant numbers of politicians aren't brave based on their need for party and constituents acceptance. The culture is also more about how they appear rather than what you know. So one is brave and knowledgeable, the other is afraid and lost in their goals.
