Who is ready to study Zen? Dave Chappelle

I just watched Mr Chappelle's 2017 show Equanimity & The Bird Revelation. He raises some questions that have come up again and again in this forum that touch on the limits of philosophy and conceptual thought.

I don't know that I'd recommend it to everybody. It's funny, but it's also tragic. I'd say he is ready.

If people can't laugh, and can't stare down tragedy, how can they be ready to study Zen?

Wumen:

Xiangyan is really sloppy;

His wicked poison hasn’t exhausted its limit;

It still mutes patch-robed monks mouths,

And smooth [flesh] break out with demon’s eyes.
