Honest question: how does one read something like this? Take the time to research each obscure reference in each paragraph? I found it to be quite impenetrable, and boring.
- scwoodal 10y agoI felt the same way after reading the first few paragraphs. I came to the comments hoping for a TLDR.

- rubidium 10y agoHonest answer: I didn't come across any obscure references. You may not be the target audience. If you've gone through a great books/ classical education these characters and themes are all familiar. Very familiar if you read >=2-3 books a week.
- le-mark 10y agoYou can read a lot and not get the references. So that's an arbitrary measure. Classical ed, sure.
