It takes a strong ego to publicly admit to such a hole in your education.

Lying about my knowledge is an evasion of reality. I am not afraid of not knowing something because I cannot learn until I admit this.

I was being quite literal. You appear to have a strong ego. That's a good thing.

Thanks.

Roman history is amazing, we are basically reliving those times, the decline of the empire.

In read the Sovereign Individual on lockdown. Besides the Y2K jazz, the book was spot on. I suspect debasement breeds degeneracy. It makes degeneracy a requirement for survival, at least before humans could opt out in the digital age.
