“Was not their mistake once more bred of the life of slavery that they had been living?—a life which was always looking upon everything, except mankind, animate and inanimate—‘nature,’ as people used to call it—as one thing, and mankind as another, it was natural to people thinking in this way, that they should try to make ‘nature’ their slave, since they thought ‘nature’ was something outside them” — William Morris

Neat. Do you have a link to that doohickey? I wouldn't mind one myself.

Me, I don't see it. But if I could have a computer cantilevered over the bathtub . . .

There is, of course, is simple and profound issue here: the relationship between physical posture and thinking.

Beyond that, I have nothing to say.
