Anthony Scaramucci

I grew up in your neighborhood.

See, that was a Wednesday for us out on Long Island.

Okay, so let's go to Eastern thought, because one of the things that maybe we both believe, if I could have a presupposition here, is that maybe the cycle does end when the lesson is learned, as you're surmising in the book.

And so what was it about the Arcadian?

What was it about Telamon?

And finally, he's being asked to learn something that he couldn't learn in Thermopylae.

He couldn't learn in, am I pronouncing it right, Hydaspis?

How do you say it?

Right.

So he can't, he doesn't learn it there.

He doesn't learn it on the road to Corinth.

So what is the breakthrough here?

Where is the breakthrough?

Yeah, it's a lesson learned for him, but it's not a lesson learned for mankind because we just seem to always have... Not yet.

Not yet, exactly.

So that's my question.

Can violence ever truly end?

Or does it simply change form?
