Episode #10: Decenary threshold guardians, the totem of aloneness and my distant uncle who was a happy little stomach on a stick

In this episode I try to resist doing anything special for episode ten but end up going down a decenary rabbit hole, I reflect on the difference between aloneness and loneliness and rethink the brain’s role in creativity through getting to know a primitive sea creature.
