Currently reading through this stuff and the How To Live Your Life parts are like footnotes to page upon page of incorrect physics.
Lucretius De Rerum Natura (The Nature of Things) isn’t a terrible resd in translation for anybody who is interested in learning more about the ideas mentioned in the strip.
Not discussed: Lucretius holds Venus to be the greatest diety because she is responsible for propagation. There are some bits where he unabashedly celebrates the omni-horniness of nature.
Well, what is “nature” except the unfolding, in all of its bawdy fullness, of “life uhh…[finding] a way”?
Guess I’m Team Lucretius! Thanks for the recommendation.
