Today on It's Okay To Be Smart, we're gonna do a little bit of spring cleaning.
[cough] I just cleaned that!
It's all stardust anyway, right Carl?
[MUSIC] If I had to sum up the human experience in one activity it would be our constant and futile struggle to move dirt from inside to outside.
It's like the legend of Sisyphus, constantly rolling his boulder up the hill, only to have it roll back down again, forever.
We're constantly moving dust from one place to another, only to have it replaced by more dust.
Entropy always wins.
TS Eliot once wrote "I will show you fear in a handful of dust" by which I assume he meant these guys.
How many live in my bed?
Ten million?
