The meaning of the title "Twoism"

Post by chzi »

I had an idea the other day, that I'd like to reflect on. I come from a counter-culture background and I am used to finding out that things are the opposite of what I first thought. So I played around with what we have here, what if Marcus & Mike actually aren't usual brothers but just share a parent, would explain the Eoin / Sandison thingie, and this led me on a thought train of Twoism, that we humans, accordingly to Christ strive after having man-woman communes, or as Islam where a man can have 4 wives right and I though, hold up, what if this 1-on-1 bizniz is fabricated and it's more naturally to live as two or three couples together sharing everything. Poly, but not open outside the boundary, for example a family could be formed by two men and two woman who all share all together, wouldn't that be a better and more sustainable format for humans to live in than the lacklustre always close to breaking 1-on-1. To cluster each other like this, more options, enough drama, everyone wins. Kinda. Oh well, just thought it was a funny idea that I wanted to share. How things could be if norms and rules went out,

I always figured it was a play on Dualism, yin and yang, etc. Or some malapropism of taoism.

How does the titles of the tracks etc fit in with that theme of taoism..?

Sixtyniner would be an obvious choice in support of my theory, the twoism of relationship between people..

I wouldn't say it's a direct reference, but almost like a play on words that could've come from someone pronouncing taoism incorrectly, changing the meaning of the word entirely back around to dualism? word games
