But can you first give me just this golden nugget please? which is >> yes >> is people think that in ancient Greece sometimes uh in discussions I have um that they were like kind of illiterated like uh people at that time doesn't know how to read how to how to write you know and and so what do you think about that that idea >> if if people were illiterate or largely illiterate we would not have thousands upon thousands upon thousands of pages of Greek. If they were illiterate, they must not

Have been going to the libraries they were building and they must not have been involved in education because onethird of the earliest Greek education is language. So um to say that they're ill were literate is just it's usually the monists who do that Christian people who have a Christian education western Christian education tend to float that stupidity out there. But it's not true. We wouldn't have all these documents if we'd if they didn't. And they just haven't read anything from antiquity because that's all dude that's

All the kids education is. They have to be able to read Homer Dog, right? And there's music involved there. And when we're done with that, we're going to go get naked and wrestle. So, welcome to the ancient world. Beautiful.
