One warning: there are not a small number of sovereigns who retain the Eurasia group, and take what he says about his own clients with about a billion grains of salt.

I was just joking. I would need to read Augustine in the original Latin before I could truly understand free will, and before I do that I'm going to learn Ancient Greek to better appreciate the Odyssey. And before I do that, I have a whole life to live.
The dude doesn't sound wrong, but I would just like to be realistic that it may be a while before I am in a position to have a conversation in which I have read that book. And, podcasts: I don't listen to them. I like the idea of them, but I find that I either space out and miss things, or I pay close attention and find the best bits thin. And when I'm going home, I prefer to listen to the Red Sox.
