No he doesn't. He jumped into the septic tank and then devoted his life's work to disinfecting as much as he can. But I don't see the point in jumping into the septic tank if you want to get clean, other than as a spectacle for others that want to study cleaning techniques.

Septic tank maintenance, as you put it, and legitimate tantra that doesn't mind hanging out in the charnel grounds and embraces the fullness of human experience...how can you be sure you know the difference?

tfw some of the most interesting people I've recently encountered on twitter are all in the same thread... this is the birth of a new Illuminati. When are we taking over the world? There's no God but meta-rationality, and Kegan is his prophet?

I can barely keep my own life organized, let alone take over the world. Though I am Jewish, so I'm particularly qualified to do so.
