Episode notes

The mere name of philosophy, however quietly pursued, is an object of sufficient scorn. Do not wear too fine, nor yet too frowsy, a toga. One needs no silver plate, encrusted and embossed in solid gold. All men should admire it, but they should understand it also. Our life should observe a happy medium between the ways of a sage and the ways of the world at large.
