Thanks for the kind words. Congratulations on your epiphany and new bone. :-P Philosophy can be daunting and some is either too esoteric or I'm simply not smart enough. I'm looking at you Wittgenstein. I had my epiphany in my mid 30s and the obsession never stopped. I talk about it in my introduction essay which you can find on my channel. I took early retirement several years ago and just moved to Athens where it all started. I can see the Parthenon every day from just down the street. The irony is that my Hellenistic obsession began years ago and my last four cats were Socrates, Plato, Perseus, and Cassiopeia. You can even see my email name for more evidence. And guess what? Coincidentally, I fell in love with a Greek doctor and have been with her over a decade. And yeah, I love Aristotle, but he was pretty much wrong about everything but he was writing over 2,000 years ago. Now trivia for you. Pl;ato was allegedly Socrates protege and in turn Aristotle was his but who was Aristotle's protege?.
