Returning to the shop teacher briefly, Louis tells a story about a neighbor who borrowed a pot and wooden spoon to perform a spirit-cleansing ritual on her new house, marveling at the specificity of belief systems around evil spirits and sage.
- Tim explains comedy has no moral gravity—it sages out serious commentary that made people angry on both sides.
- A neighbor knocked on his door asking to borrow a pot and wooden spoon for a hired woman to remove evil spirits from her house.
- The hired woman used Tim's pot and spoon to extract evil spirits from the house, then returned them to him.
- Tim marvels at the logic: evil spirits supposedly can't stand sage and will leave a house if you burn it.
- People are proposing metaverse children as a solution to overpopulation since they wouldn't actually exist.
- Tim suggests anyone who wants metaverse children should absolutely have those instead, to prevent that DNA from spreading.
