Synopsis
A list of clutter in Joe's house. The futility of cleaning. Joe exchanges witty dialog with his mother, describes her life. Saving bugs in a pool. Saving baby ducks from a badger. A synopsis of "the incredible shrinking man." Intellectual discussion of the film at a party. Problem solving and linear progression taught in childhood - nihilism and soap operas.
