“How Epicurean Science Saves Humanity”

Too bad one person can't use multiple reaction icons -- I would have used a thank you AND a LOL icon

I look forward to hearing comments from you Pacatus as you read Lucretius. It's a common situation -- lots of people I have come across who say they embrace Epicurus have never bothered to read more than a line or two of Lucretius.

I really think Lucretius is helpful. What he's writing about are the issues that he saw in his time and world to be important, and he was much closer to the original texts than we are, so through him we have an excellent check on what was really important to the ancient Epicureans vs what we think today is important after 2000 years of indoctrination and filtering through Christian and Stoic commentators.

So please if you start reading through it don't hesitate to start new threads on whatever topics interest you in it no matter how small.
