@mattyglesias yesssss

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@SwannMarcus89 Love your takes and now a Helen reference!! Wow honestly I can die happy - the discourse has reached peak classics

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@uhshanti @ArmandDoma You still get credit for doing the reading I guess!

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@TheStalwart @mnolangray Isn’t that because by definition YIMBys are less likely to live in that particular community?

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@MattBruenig @JHWeissmann Maybe im just hoping!

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@MattBruenig @JHWeissmann The university question is actually a good one to sit with for a while in this context. I basically agree with you that AI tutoring is going to be huge but I think we may find the value add of school is people being in rooms together.

@rose_rsj Agree big Yglesias wiff. Serious lack of theory of mind there.

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@DKThomp Whats interesting is that there are many many characters in Greek myth who could/should/do feel guilt shame trauma etc (hello Oedipus??) but I wouldnt usually put the Odysseus of the Odyssey in that class. Just my opinion

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@isosteph Ithaca = Mountain View? Hades = Colma? Troy = Jersey City?

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@sentdefender #Odyssey

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@FlintDibble 💯 this is the way flint. Too many people think it’s one way or the other other. How could we relate if they were 100 per alien?

@ArmandDoma @MJameson01 I havent seen the movie yet but in my recollection the pun is the μη τισ noone-wisdom. I don't really remember much about his name - not sure what the hullabaloo is about.

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@RichardHanania Great topic you should look into how hoplite warfare is reflected or referenced in the Iliad

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

@besttrousers @marthagimbel There is a long history of transforming the grave of your vanquished enemy into a holy spot to ward off evil.

@tszzl Grow a pair?

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

Thank you! 🙏

[Aaron Schachter @aaronjbs]

I know everything about THE ODYSSEY. In fact I was there when it happened: Ask Me Anything!!!

Drop your best questions and I will try to tell as best as I can how the story goes 👇

@wrasslecore @romanhelmetguy @esjesjesj Fair

@romanhelmetguy @esjesjesj I don’t mind your takes usually but this is off off off base. John Wick is about a man reclaiming and owning his real genuine destiny in the face of divine enmity made manifest attempting to erase his legacy.
