Well, when the Greeks are trying to figure out... So as the Olympics start becoming really, really popular, I should have said the Olympics are the thing that's most similar to the Coliseum that the Greeks have, but I think the theater is actually more important. But when the Greeks are trying to figure out a good philosophy for,
as to how to allow other Greek states or other people on the fringes of the Greek world to participate in the Olympics, the Greeks are trying to figure out, well, how exactly do we do this? And they couldn't figure it out. So they go down to Thebes in Egypt or Luxor in Egypt, and they speak to these priests there, or were they Egyptian philosophers? What was going on there?
It's invisible in Egypt. We don't know. Um, but we know that the, that the Greeks were going down there to get wisdom from the Egyptians and that, and that a lot of Greek wisdom is derivative of, of things that were going on in Egypt, but it's this invisible chapter of history. And I just, I just love that.
And man, like next time I come, we got to talk about Alexandria because Alexandria is a Greek city built in, in Egypt and, And so much, it's like its own little civilization where it's Greek genius fused with Egyptian, ancient Egyptian, like really ancient, ancient Egyptian knowledge. And it creates the most beautiful city that the world has ever seen.
Of course, it was ruled by a king, so it's different from Athens. But man, Alexandria, even Rome couldn't hold a candle to the city of Alexandria. Yeah, so that's something we'll have to talk about some other point.
Like we were saying, I love the direct essay-focused parts of talking about ancient history, and then I love just having philosophical conversations about how we connect to the ancient people. What I was saying is inside baseball as to how
where you and I sit in this little sphere that we currently live in that everybody watching is so invested in, you know, it's cool to be like, uh, I guess like self-aware, self-analytical of the space that you're in and talking about it. I love these kinds of conversations. Yeah.
Yeah, yeah. When does this take place?
I'm just getting snitched on everywhere, too.
And we've got a big day tomorrow, too.
I'm looking forward to hearing about the Kurt Cobain case.
Okay.
That's not very open-minded of you.
So yeah, it's gonna is gonna end up as a Netflix documentary. I might it might, it might. It's the perfect kind of thing.
Yeah,
So morbid curiosity. Okay. So he was shot in the head with a shotgun after he had passed. Yeah. Is it, do you think, or do most people think that it was his wife that did that?
I can't wait to see how this all unfolds. This is seriously cool.
Well, I mean, I'm sorry, it's dark, but it's obviously fascinating.
Yeah, man. Well, that's profound that you're taking the step to do this. That's really cool.
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Probably so. Yeah. Sorry to take a dark detour, but I was so fascinated in this. I wanted to, I want to learn something from you about it.
