Julian Gough — The Egg and The Rock (Infinite Loops Classics)

A storm is coming! You know, cosmology is gonna get turned upside down by this when they finally realize it's an evolved universe. Is it behaving like a bag of chemicals randomly chosen? With random properties, or is it behaving like a fucking dog? It's behaving like a dog. It grows up, it bounces around the place, gets more interesting and funny and complicated as it goes. We're the point where the universe gets to know Who it is, what it is, and what it's gonna do next, it's an amazing moment to feel. He everyone, Jim here. We're taking a short pause on new episodes through the end of August. We'll be back at the end of the month.
