we are now separate from animals in a
[TS]
00:41:29

way that is not entirely necessary in

i recently went to comic-con and and
[TS]
00:41:36
◼

comic-con is an extension of this larger
[TS]
00:41:39
◼
►
problem that I used to see an indie-rock
[TS]
00:41:40
◼
►
quite a bit which is the the mistaken
[TS]
00:41:44
◼
►
idea that everyone is an artist and they
[TS]
00:41:46
◼
►
just need to get if we just clear out
[TS]
00:41:48
◼

all the all the things in the way of
[TS]
00:41:50
◼

certain people that they are the art
[TS]
00:41:53
◼

that they make is beautiful
[TS]
00:41:55
◼

you know what I mean like everyone's an
[TS]
00:41:56
◼

artist and and it's just that we are
[TS]
00:41:58
◼
►
inhibited and we are we are locked in
[TS]
00:42:01
◼

our small little world and we need to
[TS]
00:42:03
◼

keep going to be free
[TS]
00:42:04
◼

we need to get free and then art will
[TS]
00:42:06
◼

pour forth and I think that that is a
[TS]
00:42:07
◼
►
terrible idea
[TS]
00:42:08
◼
►
it is not true at all not everyone is an
[TS]
00:42:10
◼
►
artist it's a kind of existential
[TS]
00:42:12
◼
►
alchemy because not every piece of metal
[TS]

can be made into gold

[TS]
00:42:39
◼

that it's our own people are encouraged
[TS]
00:42:41
◼
►
to congratulate them for it it's like

i am a grackle living inside of a man
[TS]
00:49:05
◼

mask but here's my thinking on this and
[TS]
00:49:07
◼

and I just want to get back to the big
[TS]
00:49:09
◼
►
bacteria or whatever in a second but
[TS]
00:49:10
◼
►
here's the thing i think if you've got
[TS]
00:49:12
◼
►
cat a cat that's fine
[TS]
00:49:14
◼
►
it's really good if you kind of tidy up
[TS]
00:49:16
◼
►
after for all of our sakes if you find
[TS]
00:49:19
◼
►
yourself getting closer and closer to
[TS]
00:49:21
◼
►
the 10 cat level I think I think it's
[TS]
00:49:23
◼
►
time to start thinking about some stuff
[TS]
00:49:25
◼
►
I think when you get to the greater than
[TS]
00:49:28
◼
►
10 cat level your operation is slightly
[TS]
00:49:30
◼
►
higher level
[TS]
00:49:31
◼
►
no here's the thing i think at this
[TS]
00:49:33
◼
►
point first also John are you aware that
[TS]
00:49:35
◼
►
scrapbooking when people say scrapping
[TS]
00:49:36
◼
►
units code for hoarding right
[TS]
00:49:38
◼
►
scrapbooking is code for hoarding if you
[TS]
00:49:40
◼
►
ever go show me somebody
[TS]
00:49:42
◼
►
this is like this is like Dennis and
[TS]
00:49:44
◼
►
Kirsten if you show me somebody who is a
[TS]
00:49:46
◼
►
quote-unquote scrapbooker who's not a
[TS]
00:49:48
◼
►
hoarder
[TS]
00:49:49
◼
►
I learned this the other day Hugh Hefner
[TS]
00:49:51
◼
►
has been keeping scrapbooks since his
[TS]
00:49:54
◼
►
teen years and he's up to like 3,000
[TS]
00:49:58
◼
►
scrapbooks he's not likely to the ladies
[TS]
00:50:00
◼
►
underwear or like what I don't know he
[TS]
00:50:03
◼
►
clicks eclipse his newspaper articles
[TS]
00:50:06
◼
►
any that's the four years said okay
[TS]
00:50:07
◼
►
there was clear the rest is flowers and
[TS]
00:50:09
◼
►
stuff i don't know what is
[TS]
00:50:10
◼
►
doing in these but he has he's got a
[TS]
00:50:12
◼
►
room in that the the Playboy Mansion
[TS]
00:50:14
◼
►
involved scrapbook she's been keeping
[TS]
00:50:16
◼
►
since the thirties right why I made this
[TS]
00:50:18
◼
►
might be the category error i'm gonna
[TS]
00:50:20
◼
►
have to figure all this out better stuff
[TS]
00:50:22
◼
►
yeah but here's what I'm saying I mean
[TS]
00:50:23
◼
►
there's a commonality and all these
[TS]
00:50:25
◼
►
things i'm sorry to say
[TS]
00:50:26
◼
►
all I'm saying is when you get to the
[TS]
00:50:27
◼
►
point when you have greater than n cats
[TS]
00:50:30
◼
►
whatever that number is the thing is
[TS]
00:50:31
◼
►
when they die you have to get rid of
[TS]
00:50:33
◼
►
that's I think the big problem is first
[TS]
00:50:35
◼
►
you start cleaning up the poop and then
[TS]
00:50:36
◼
►
you stopped getting rid of them when
[TS]
00:50:38
◼
►
they die and i think when you have more
[TS]
00:50:40
◼
►
than safe 540 cats and they are dying
[TS]
00:50:43
◼
►
and I think if you're not getting rid of
[TS]
00:50:46
◼
►
the bodies on a fairly regular basis
[TS]
00:50:48
◼
►
it's time to start looking at yourself
[TS]
00:50:50
◼
►
that's what I'm saying I think that's
[TS]
00:50:51
◼
►
well past time that you should have been
[TS]
00:50:53
◼
►
looking I'm trying I'm not trying to
[TS]
00:50:54
◼
►
judge i'm not judging or you're dead
[TS]
00:50:56
◼
►
well you know what happens in the thing
[TS]
00:50:58
◼
►
is according to this bacteria or
[TS]
00:50:59
◼
►
whatever theory is affecting the poop
[TS]
00:51:01
◼
►
that poops in the house you and now you
[TS]
00:51:04
◼
►

[TS]
00:51:07

there's obviously you know one it's your

seems crazy to me not to leverage the

way this could benefit everyone

especially the people that you
[TS]

eventually want to smite but that's the

thing i cannot at this juncture as much

have into these creatures and I cannot

can I do not have the power to command
[TS]
00:53:13
◼

them and they don't that they don't seem
[TS]
00:53:16
◼

to mean they definitely want to engage
[TS]
00:53:18
◼

we have long conversations but then they
[TS]
00:53:22

they do their little bow and put their

little hands together and do the little
[TS]
00:53:27
◼

like the same phenomena state bow and
[TS]
00:53:30

then they are often to the darkness and

that that that someone will take me out

that you poop you you should you should
[TS]

learn and grow yourself but at the same
