You ever think about what you’d be at various points in history? Like what would I be doing in 1475 Europe? I mean, because meritocracy and class mobility were entirely non-existent even as concepts, random chance says I’d just be some serf, but I’m talking about ideally here

Giveaway Contest: We’re giving away fifteen vintage, ‘60s-era Penguin Classics by Homer, Sophocles, Herodotus, Voltaire, Plato, and others!
