Last summer, Francis and I spent a week with Rolston College students and professors in Greece, and learning about the roots of Western civilization in the very place they emerged was genuinely moving.

If you like trigonometry, you'll love the fact that Rolston runs a one-year MA in Humanities for anyone with a bachelor's degree or equivalent in any discipline

and there's genuinely nothing else like it today.

The program begins in Greece, where students spend two months learning to read and speak ancient Greek while studying the foundational works of the Western tradition, starting with Homer.

From there, it continues in Savannah, Georgia, with small serious seminars on the most important works of the Western canon.

What is the difference between the nuclear weapon as it originally was and the second generation, the hydrogen bomb, et cetera?

Eric, welcome back to Chickenometry.

It's great to have you back on.

We've had three previous conversations, all of them extremely popular with our audience.

People loved it.

But the one thing that we've always felt that they've missed out is some of the conversations we've had with you in private.
