Time to Evolve Annotated

Folks, it's time to evolve ideas. You know evolution did not end with us growing thumbs, you do know that, right? Didn't end there. We're at the point now where we- we're going to have to evolve ideas. The reason the world's so fucked up is we're undergoing evolution, and the reason our institutions, our traditional religions are all crumbling is because they're no longer relevant. Ha ha ha ha! They- they're no longer relevant. So it's time for us to create a new philosophy and perhaps even a new religion, you see, and that's okay 'cause that's our right, 'cause we are free children of God with minds who can imagine anything and... that's kind of our role!

How do you evolve ideas? I'll give you an example right here. By the way, there are more dick jokes coming, please relax. I know I'm starting to lose 'em a little bit here with this shit. I'm like digging a fucking hole right now. And another thing! "Where the hell did Bill go? He dug himself right through the planet." I can hear people heckling in Chinese right now. "Why you no do dick joke? Do dick joke! Win crowd back! No one want to hear your philosophy! They want to hear dick joke!" Wow, what a completely rational heckler, hmm. "They pay to hear dick joke, not to hear you talk about President Bush!"

Here's how you evolve an idea. I'll give you an example. Why is the drug czar of this country- well, let's go back. Why do we have a drug czar in this country? A. B: Why is he a cop? Why isn't he a guy in recovery who's had an alcohol and/or drug addiction and overcome it, and why doesn't he help people with the same problem with compassion rather than condemnation? Why do we put people who are on drugs in jail? They're sick! They're not criminals. Sick people don't get healed in jail. See, it makes no sense! And if we evolve the idea, you see, the planet might become more compassionate and something like heaven might dawn.

I want everyone here to take the five dried grams I taped under your all chairs right now. Under your chairs, check 'em out! Check 'em out, under your chairs. Let's go, man. The fucking UFO's are waiting in the fifth dimension, let's go! We'll do it later. We'll do it as a closer. Shit, man.

Mushrooms grow naturally on the planet. They're against the law. Marijuana grows naturally on the planet. It's against the law. Do you think making nature against the law seems a bit, I don't know... unnatural?
