correct me if I am wrong, but according to my notes you covered this in quite some depth in your early lectures which I attended (back when we were both on a budget and they didn't even serve food afterwards)Quote from Joe Doaks:
As Smaranam is to Kurgan? I love your faux pauvre orthographe. Very creative. A more apt analogy is Plato's Allegory of the Cave in The Republic. Which sans doute as a well-educated person amusing himself slumming, you know. But a better analogy is celestial mechanics in a complex orrery.
So now it seems years later you are changing your tune a little?
Will you be acdressing this in your next lecture series?
Or is this just another one of those little mistakes you made in that past and will sweep under the rug?
otherwise, I'm a lot more skeptical than I was when I first started attending, but I must admit the food has gotten better. (especially those Asian ribs, and don't tell anybody because supposedly I am kosher.)
