Dirty Stupid Wisdom with Ben Keaton
I know a lot of things.
Correction. I have a lot of experience.
Moments of brilliance, tragedy, joy, success and poor decisions. A slop bucket of life.
These essays are an effort to make sense of that. It's supposed to make sense isn't it? We wouldn't be the only known living beings in the star system for no reason, that would be ridiculous.
I like simple things. And I like the pain we suffer. It cuts through the noise. And I like my confusion funny. Dirty Stupid Wisdom is my collection of funny, ridiculous, painful moments that suggest clarity and insight. They won't cure you but they might sustain you for a short while.

Nature, Our Greatest Enemy
We are told that Nature is our mother. That she nurtures us, heals us, calms us. But that's nonsense. In reality she shits in fields, floods towns, stings children, and nurtures mice that breed and eat their own. In this episode, Ben Keaton dismantles the myth of Nature. Based on his lifelong distrust of the outdoors, his conviction is total.
