Isn't Athens a Good Place to Start?

En balcom has this language about proleptic nes gia, where you actually imagine a future in which you're feeling nestalgic about the past. And i call this actually retroactive for electic nostalgia, because they they retroactively imagine, nestalgically what athens was, and then project it on to that britain and the us. So there's a self awareness, kind of refreshing self awareness, about a lot of these engagements with the classics,. That it allows you to see kind of in color, the things which would otherwise be sort of unspoken or unwritten.
