Maybe only sociopaths are truly enlightened, being wholly free from the restricting chains of societally-engrained morality & empathetic weakness?

I think you could be onto something with the "societally-engrained" part.

Kupo said: “Stop thinking, and end your problems. What difference between yes and no? What difference between success and failure? Must you value what others value, avoid what others avoid? How ridiculous!
Other people are excited, as though they were at a parade. I alone don’t care, I alone am expressionless, like an infant before it can smile.
Other people have what they need; I alone possess nothing. I alone drift about, like someone without a home. I am like an idiot, my mind is so empty.
Other people are bright; I alone am dark. Other people are sharper; I alone am dull. Other people have a purpose; I alone don’t know. I drift like a wave on the ocean, I blow as aimless as the wind.
I am different from ordinary people. I drink from the Great Mother’s breasts.” — Lao Tzu
Is this from the dao de ching? I love that book!

Would you have laughed or giggled during the Newtown shooting, or the Jonestown massacre? I would agree with you that light-heartedness and the ability to laugh at the absurdity of it all is probably essential for one's happiness, but the ability to show respect for the pain of others through a serious demeanor is also crucial IMO.
i think this particular type of laughter is used as a reenforcing method where there is already said positivity-not like, when someones passed away and someone is mourning.

Laughter yoga. I don't know about this man 
Ok let's get rolling with it. On one hand we have humor. Things like comedy, satire, parody, standup comedy, Monty Python, WKUK and so on. Awesome funny people and art forms that result in natural laughter, cheery and wholesome. Stuff that works.
On the other hand, we have what people would do in Communist China, if they were ordered to laugh, had no reason, no imagination nor any jokes at hand, and a gun to their head. Laugh, peons, LAUGH! 
Why would anybody in their right mind want that instead of actual standup comedy? Do tell.
For people who dig laughter yoga: [LAUGH NOW. HA HA, HO HO HO]. Awesome, glad it worked for ya.
For the rest of us, here's some nice WKUK to hit the spot right:

Laughter yoga isn't for everyone. But compassionate humor is something we all need... Don't ever laugh at someone... the only good humor and laughter has compassion inseperable from it
