how highly I regarded their thinking

There's a lot in The Republic we'd find repulsive, but the Greeks, especially Plato/Socrates did advance human thought, at least for the fortunate few who could afford to pay someone to copy out the scrolls.

that was what I think, which means our kids are doomed!

If that is the case, you can profit bigly with gold and silver.

Or a family condo in Sam Alman's secret bunker.

I will keep my hopes:

The next No Kings II March on October 18 could be a revealing and colossal day-- though I think Trump wants violence to jerkoff to like January 6 -- he will blame ANTIFA and Biden. Everyone will be filming.

All of my college courses sounded like Greek to me! That is why I looked forward to all tests being 4 multiple choice answers. At least I knew I would get 25% grade and with luck k I might make it 50% and my mother's dream for me having a career, she prayed that I got a 75% grade.
