Why funny? Though I think this topic reached ad nauseum on lbotalk some time ago, it is interesting that people keep talking past each other.
It seems to me that Carroll is saying "heart of the heartless world" is the kind of moral/utopian trope that he considers worse than not useful. Why is it funny he would name the thing he's arguing against?
