0:00.0	Third eye drops are intended for open-minded adults.
0:03.6	Now the Ministry of Third Third eye drops. We've got some priorities to straighten out before we hit the era of on-demand hyper pleasure, my friends.
0:30.0	Because if we don't have our ethical techno ducks in a row, we will be tweeting orgasms and
0:38.5	live streaming our taste buds while we eat pork chops for a Satoshi a second or something.
0:45.0	A Satoshi is one 100 millionth of a Bitcoin for the non-cripto-currency initiates among you.
