The 20’s, The Many Evils of Beans, and Soleimani


It’s the 20’s again! Meaning it’s no longer hipstery to wear fanciful hats. Where’s my flatcap?

The Pythagoreans thought consuming beans an evil. I think this idea of sin and many ideas of sin in general, as well as the whole drive to mysticism via asceticism has to do with homeostasis. I expand on this via fart jokes.

I also give a few impressions of the Suleimani situation due to all the ethical ramifications it, and the region, presents.
