This is a great lecture, there must be some kind of way to promote people on the internet to watch this. The point is, the answers are not more important than the questions themselves. Being led to the different possible answers is the key to arming ourselves with tools to navigate life and its complexities. Great lecture!

Gosh I hope Dr. Beard reads my comment: Dr. Beard, i have throughout my life tried to argue to importance of the technology of language, but you've given me weaponry to argue against techno-feudalism. Thank you for knowledge in the form of entertainment, but thank you for also for allowing us to access so much more, cognitively.

Phenomenal lecture by Mary Beard. She always brings her A game.
