0:00.0 | Radio Manu, Papa Tzango. |
0:30.0 | My thought of the day is what the fuck is up with toilet brushes? |
0:34.3 | I mean, how have we advanced to the point where we're manipulating jeans and |
0:39.6 | splitting fucking moon megons or whatever the hell it is? |
0:44.2 | We're splitting under Swiss mountains and particle accelerators. |
0:49.2 | And yet we still have a brush next to the toilet to wipe our shit off the side of the |
0:55.0 | bowl. What is up with that? No one has come up with a toilet design that doesn't require |
1:04.1 | us to wipe our shit off the side of the bowl. I don't know. I do know actually. Those |
1:10.0 | of you who haven't traveled the world as I have probably think all toilets are the same, |

2:02.5 | the fashion for everybody else. By the way, a paraphrasing that. I don't know about the actual |
2:08.0 | dates, but I do believe that's the origin of the throne that most of us use these days. |
2:14.4 | What was my point? Oh, right. So we were trying to fit our bodies into this weird design. Now |
2:24.1 | that's a metaphor for most of what I talk and think about in terms of civilization, how we're |
2:30.6 | trying to fit ourselves into this civilization that has been designed according to principles, |
2:38.0 | many of which are contrary to our organic evolved predisposition. So I've talked about |
