    We are so, so close to 10k subscribers! I’m thinking about doing a Q&A then, and maybe even a book giveaway. What do you think of the idea?
    Thank you for joining in this video! It was a really fun one to make, linking mythology, history, and philosophy, and I think that the resulting wisdom is very practical.

    Lol, Robbie Robertson used to call me the Oracle. He and his friends often wrote songs inspired by our meetings. Turns out, they knew a secret that I didn't. The term Know Thyself was just as pertinent to me as it was for them.
    Thanks for this. Perfectly timed. Lemlmts Sean.

      Wow, what a connection! Any songs in particular? I’ve listened to a lot of The Band.

      @@mythosandlogos Most of Robbie's songs tell my story. He has been a shadow in my life from before I was born. Listen to his catalogue from the perspective of a father whose first born was raised by another man.
      Most of the times we meet, he was simply my dad's friend Jaime. In 1997, I was hired to interview him.(I'm not an entertainment reporter and actually argued with my editor that I was the wrong reporter to send.) Contact from the Underworld of Redboy was the result.
      (My mother Cleo is mentioned in his first memoir. And his last song with lyrics, Still Standing, implies that the rest of the story will be in his second post-hummus memoir.)

      Wow, what a perspective indeed. I haven’t listened to much of his later catalogue, but certainly will. Thank you for sharing.

    You know oracles came from Ireland 😂😂😂

      Herodotus does offer one explanation of the first Oracle as being a Hyperborean, from the far north. Ireland is definitely a possible candidate! As are the Norse areas. I didn’t want to get too into the Hyperboreans here, though, since that would be a whole other potential video.
