Yeah. A lot of, like you say, thought experiments. If you're into that thing, dude, go for it. Right? Go for it. It's good stuff. And it's got enough facts about Socrates, who was a great person, that you can pick up kind of a background of who this dude was. Really, the only thing that matters about Socrates, and I will offend many of my colleagues, but I'll go ahead and do it.

The only thing to like about Socrates is nothing that Plato said. It is what the oracle at Delphi said. She said Socrates was the wisest Athenian, because he knows that he knows nothing. It was a big middle finger. It was a big middle finger to the Athenian intellectual establishment. Yeah. And it pissed them off. And what did they do? They fucking killed him. Yeah. Why is that?

He just leaves all of his stuff and goes.

And he'd live there all his life. Why would he do this, right? He was an old dude. Seriously? You know, the hemlock's not bad, baby. That stuff kills you pretty quick. You know what I mean? He had his thing, but he was there as a gadfly. And from the Oracle at Delphi, she was his muse. And she said, listen, you Athenian rich bastards, you know nothing.
