This is amazing. I’ll need to reread it a couple times to take it all in.
As an aside, a Stoic once commented online that postmodernism wouldn’t surprise Aristotle because it’s really just a reboot of academic skepticism (“it’s all just like, your opinion, man”) and sophistry (language games in pursuit of power). It seems as if today we are rehashing ideas the ancient Greeks trashcanned for good reasons.
Extremely well done!
