I think I am a newbie to the classics, and so, ya know, thinking about what
they said, and how nothing ever changes, and how so maybe there is
something to be gleaned from 'em, however white and
patriarchal-misogynistic they were, their *intentions* were, historically,
honourable. So.
I currently think that Kant rocks, man! ha ha
but relevance is missing here, so 'scuse the interruption.
