Or did we finish that one?

LOL, A-G -- who could ever "finish" that one! :^)

Before all this stuff hit the fan, I was intending to write to gore3000 about Plato's political thought in the Republic. But I'm not sure -- is gore still here?

Thank you for your reply and for the chuckle! Indeed, the question of man's autonomy will never be decided to everyone's satisfaction!

It seems to me that the political thought in Plato's Republic would be relevant to most posters, whether actively posting or just lurking. Your insight would be particularly helpful since many have only been exposed to one point of view from the academia.

I see you also pinged Pietro and Phaedrus. That's great! I don't believe we fully discussed Pietro's resonance musings and I'd love to hear Phaedrus' take on the possibility and what has been tabled thus far.

Also, I see we have some scientists and mathematicians lurking on the thread who may have ideas on the resonance musings or Einstein's "reality is an illusion, albeit a very persistent one" which may be applicable to this more narrow question, "What is Man?".
