I think I remember you posting Can't Get You Out of My Head part 1 some time back. So far, I've finished all of that series through part 5 (part 6 is age restricted and YouTube wants to card me). It is definitely interesting with a bent towards viewing human society as a great bundle of neuroses.

Regarding advice, I'm not really sure that offering it would be constructive. I figure it would have more potential to alienate a (possibly large) segment of viewers from his documentaries in exchange for conveying ideas that are secondary at best. However, given his presentation, it doesn't seem too hard to trace back attributions of causality which could then be used to piece together solutions. Of course, some solutions would be easier said than done.

With Simmias's concerns answered, Sokrates now addresses Kebes's analogy of the body to a coat and the soul to a weaver with the idea of the Form of Life. Afterwards, the remainder of the dialogue details Sokrates speculations on the nature of the world, the heaven, the other world, and finally is his departure.

Meet In-Q-Tel, the CIA’s Venture Capital Firm (2011)
https://odysee.com/@corbettreport:0/flashback-inqtel:a

Publicly, In-Q-Tel markets itself as an innovative way to leverage the power of the private sector by identifying key emerging technologies and providing companies with the funding to bring those technologies to market. In reality, however, what In-Q-Tel represents is a dangerous blurring of the lines between the public and private sectors in a way that makes it difficult to tell where the American intelligence community ends and the IT sector begins.

Genesis (Biblical Hebrew: בְּרֵאשִׁית‎, romanized: Bərēʾšīṯ, lit. 'In [the] beginning') chapters 1 - 21 by Moses (according to tradition or multiple authors according to modern textual criticism)

I think I will put classical Athens on the back burner for a while in order to get the ball rolling on what has been described as the most consequential book in human history. The first 21 chapters of Genesis should take just over an hour and thirteen minutes when read by Alexander Scourby at normal speed, and cover the first and second creation accounts, the story of Adam and Eve, Cain and Abel, Noah and the flood, the Tower of Babel, the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, and much of the story of Abraham, and a some genealogies.

The King James Version used here is chosen for its special significance in the history of the English language, and perhaps for using a slightly less partisan translation than many other alternatives (of course, this is still highly subjective). Its Old Testament (Tanakh) translations are principally from the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Rabbinic Bible by Daniel Bomberg (1524/5) according to Wikipedia sourced from The Authorized Edition of the English Bible, 1611, its subsequent reprints and modern representatives by Frederick Scrivener (1884), with exceptions where the text is adjusted to conform to Greek Septuagint or Latin Vulgate translations in passages to which Christian tradition had attached a Christological interpretation, again according to Wikipedia sourced from Wide as the waters: the story of the English Bible and the revolution it inspired by Benson Bobrick (2001).

The Epic of Gilgamesh (Standard Babylonian version) tablets 1 - 5 by multiple authors, compiled by Sîn-lēqi-unninni
Audiobook: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IPYf8AwNvKg
Text: https://archive.org/stream/TheEpicofGilgamesh_201606/eog_djvu.txt

The Epic of Gilgamesh posted here is the Standard Babylonian version that was compiled by Sîn-lēqi-unninni during the Kassite Dynasty of Babylon c. 1300-1000 BC. The story (or rather stories) are older still, with an Old Babylonian version that is less well preserved from around 1800 BC, and several poems recounting events in this version and others besides that are from the Sumerian Renaissance of the Neo-Sumerian Empire of the Third Dynasty of Ur around 2100 BC, when legendary tales of old were promoted by the state and actively spread amongst the public.

As I go through various readings, it's interesting to use the events and places covered therein to segue into discussing parallels in history or other literature of contemporaneous or relevant cultures. In this case, we see mention that Abram, the common patriarch of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam is said to have been born in Ur of the Chaldees (ʾŪr Kaśdīm). There is indeed a historical Ur, a major city of southern Mesopotamia, prominent during the Sumerian civilization, which eventually came to be settled by a group called the Chaldeans, although this happened relatively late in history, probably not before around 1000 BC, which might put pressure on the amount of time available between Abram's departure to Canaan and the historically identified events of the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament.

This week is relatively short at just under 43 minutes; it covers the first 5 of 11 tablets (excluding the 12th which is an addendum that does not fit into the narrative of the first 11, but does appear to be based upon one of the oldest poems), through the events around Humbaba. I will post the remaining hour next week(?), picking up where the goddess Ishtar attempts to court Gilgamesh...
