00:00:01.520 --> 00:00:04.320 align:middle line:84%
This is called Outside
Atlanta Cancer Care.

00:00:04.320 --> 00:00:09.360 align:middle line:84%
And I am obsessed with a
couple of scientific things.

00:00:09.360 --> 00:00:13.070 align:middle line:84%
And this is one of my scientific
things that I can't get over.

00:00:13.070 --> 00:00:15.240 align:middle line:90%
Outside Atlanta Cancer Care.

00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.080 align:middle line:84%
I returned to this
point of wonder.

00:00:18.080 --> 00:00:24.230 align:middle line:84%
What kind of animal began
to stand on such small feet.

00:00:24.230 --> 00:00:25.920 align:middle line:90%
And only two?

00:00:25.920 --> 00:00:27.930 align:middle line:90%
What vertical absurdity.

00:00:27.930 --> 00:00:30.210 align:middle line:90%
What upright madness.

00:00:30.210 --> 00:00:34.470 align:middle line:84%
Perhaps we were imitating
the trees, lifting our arms,

00:00:34.470 --> 00:00:37.280 align:middle line:84%
wishing for roots,
and then just forgot

00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:42.300 align:middle line:84%
to set ourselves back down
on for more rational feet.

00:00:42.300 --> 00:00:47.430 align:middle line:84%
Our longing grew our fingers
longer, twigs into branches.

00:00:47.430 --> 00:00:49.340 align:middle line:84%
For if you long
hard enough, do you

00:00:49.340 --> 00:00:52.410 align:middle line:90%
not find fruit in your palms?

00:00:52.410 --> 00:00:56.900 align:middle line:84%
I return to this
point of wonder.

00:00:56.900 --> 00:00:59.900 align:middle line:90%
And think about kangaroos.

00:00:59.900 --> 00:01:02.180 align:middle line:84%
Kangaroos are also
bipedal, but have you

00:01:02.180 --> 00:01:04.110 align:middle line:90%
seen the size of their feet?

00:01:04.110 --> 00:01:06.120 align:middle line:90%
They are enormous.

00:01:06.120 --> 00:01:09.470 align:middle line:84%
The amount of pressure we carry
per square inch in our feet

00:01:09.470 --> 00:01:11.370 align:middle line:90%
is stupid.

00:01:11.370 --> 00:01:15.720 align:middle line:84%
There's a reason we're all
walking around with back aches.

00:01:15.720 --> 00:01:17.610 align:middle line:90%
I'm over it, maybe.

00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:19.160 align:middle line:90%
