Why should a student of the 21st century read Plato and Aristotle? @StephenPiment explains how Greek philosophy helps us to see past the conceits of our own era.
0:01:16 - Should you read the ancient philosophers? 0:04:24 - The first thinkers on regime foundations
0:23:40 - Dialectic—the method of philosophy
0:33:41 - Every regime rests on taboos
0:49:30 - Justice as proper order rather than equality
1:08:19 - Philosophy as cognitive accelerationism

Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune have all been visited by space probes (Pioneer 10 & 11, Voyager 1 & 2).
