hi nipuna,
the answer to your question effectively lies in unravelling the erroneous assumption implied in your post's first sentence, namely, that laughter is necessarily the result of an emotion; it is not. nor does laughter, moreover, necessarily result from any other instinctually passional occurrence, however subtle or simple (and regardless of whether or not it coalesces into an emotional form), for neither a sense of humour nor the capacity to express its appreciation requires an affective faculty. simply put, there is much in the actual world that a person may find funny (depending on one's non-affective tastes and sensibilities) ... and all it takes to discern this for oneself is a pure consciousness experience.
the purpose of my reply is not only to address your question, but also to point out that the 'actualism/actual freedom' forum category is intended for practically-oriented discussion regarding the actualism method (and the condition to which its effective practice leads). while speculation about the nature of either the method or its result is not categorically discouraged within the method's application, it does lay beyond the scope of this forum's focus. as such, should you wish to continue your curious and sceptical inquiry (and in particular, should you wish to continue it without a practice aimed at experientially verifying the matter for yourself), i ask that you please do so elsewhere (whether elsewhere on the dharma overground discussion forum or off-site entirely).
