 Were the ancient Egyptians enlightened at all? They appear to have substantial amounts of knowledge and achievements under their belt for such an early culture. Did they have any influence on Greece? Do you guys know much about? They definitely had some influence on Greece. There's no question there that some of the things discovered, particularly mathematical and geometry began, at least the Greeks themselves, people like Aristotle, think of geometry as having begun in Egypt and some degrees. Whether they were enlightened, I mean, when we talk about enlightenment, we're talking about a particular period and a particular movement, that wasn't going on in Egypt, but they learned some stuff and that was good. There was definitely a civilization there. There was an advanced certain things, but it was also pretty, I mean, I don't know. Yeah, go ahead, Uncle. I mean, there's, I think of it like this. There's two great periods of human progress that are on a scale that you don't see. So Egypt, we're talking about centuries and centuries and centuries and it's not that much development. It's more sophisticated than if you go back 5,000 years from that, but it's not that much development, but you see an ancient Greece, an explosion and a progress in 150 years that is unbelievable for where they start to what they're doing at the sort of height of ancient Greece. And you see that the scientific revolution into the enlightenment. And I think what's distinctive is, it's what there's a shift from just the content and acquisition of knowledge and skills to the pressing concern of how do we know this and how do we do this? So there's a explicit focus on methodology. And when you get that, and when you get that in a good way, that they're asking how do we know this and how do we do this? And you see this in all, in the ancient Greece, in all the things they're doing, in history and art, in architecture, there's a real focus on and like a conscious focus on the method by which we do this. And that's what the scientific revolution is the scientific method people think it's, now we're taking conscious control of how we're approaching it. And when you get that, it's that's progress. And you can think of it as a Greek enlightenment in a way that I don't think of it as an Egyptian enlightenment, precisely for that reason. Yeah, I mean, there's a, even though they influenced, there's a sharp break between Egyptian, the separtanian and then the sharp break with Greece. What we need today, what I call the new intellectual would be any man or woman who is willing to think. Meaning, any man or woman who knows that man's life must be guided by reason, by the intellect, not by feelings, wishes, women's or mystic revelations. Any man or woman who values his life and who does not want to give in to today's cult of the stare, cynicism and impotence and does not intend to give up the world to the dark ages and to the role of the collectivist broad.
