I arrived in Washington, DC on Tuesday morning, and yesterday I did something that I have not done in over a decade: I went to the National Zoo! I did this with S3 (improvedhuman). The Invertabrates exhibit took all the awesome in the animal kingdom - jellyfish, octopi, giant spiders, stick insects, nautili, cuttlefish, noble cockroaches, gigantic 20-armed sea

The Iliad is the best piece of literature, of storytelling. So much love.

Extremely different values! Extremely different way of setting up the axes. No such thing as good/evil, only honorable/shameful. But Achilles, the star of the show, rather counter cultural! All the standard arguments for how one ought to live (and gloriously die in a battlefield), and what values ought to motivate your actions, he soundly rejects.
