A New Theory On The Optimal Level Of Traffic
About this episode
Is it possible that an increased level of traffic on the roads can actually make the driving experience more enjoyable?
In Episode #205 of 'Meanderings' Juan and I discuss: how I discovered that there might be a dip/spike in the middle of the traffic to driving pleasure graph, why this same dip might exist in cheesecake quantity/temperature/women's looks, how the world is turtles stacked upon turtles, what stigmas we agree with and why they are useful, a recitation of my poetry and how anyone's stories might be improved with a little bit of LSD.
As always, we hope you enjoy, Mere Mortals out!
