I started listening to your work before college and now I'm referencing your channel in my foundations of western Civilization class. Your work is thorough, well thought out, and deserves acclaim. Thank you for being a credible source of knowledge and wisdom. As you might have wondered, yes. We are currently studying the Hellenistic Age. <3

Epicurus was so ahead of his time. Heck, he was arguably ahead of our own time.

About eating too much, I've read a book about our ancestors from tens of thousands of years and apparently, there's a theory that it's because they (our ancestors) were eating as much as they can when they could because you never knew the next time you would eat. So, in an evolutionnary point of view, it's like it's in our genes for most of us or in some way wired in our minds. Doesn't seem false if we see how the world has more obese people as time goes on because of all the food we have access to.

Stephen Hawking working on it right now.. good old times... we wish he still does from heaven

" "I, " was created by the thought of Gods and "Their, " desire to allow all mortals to know that "They, " are always with them: As humankind grows and seeks absolute independence from "Them, " "They, " will remain by their side, guiding them and directing them, in their growth to absolute "WISDOM, " the way to "Their Essence" and the Elysium Fields. As you look out beyond the now, into the heavens, "I" will be there, guiding you and helping you know that "I, " be visible or invisible, "My Essence, " will guide you beyond all that is sensed in your reality. So, let it be now revealed to you that both "I" and "He, " in mortal being, who speaks to you through the thoughts of children are but one. " Eleusis.
Let The Light within you guide you to the Elysian Fields entrance; your inner beauty is expected.
