in the context of that interview my point was that a lot of the greek myths that focused on individual mythic figures probably had lessons for individuals, but had less to say about larger group social dynamics, which is of greater interest to me.

I think this is telling about where we differ; social group dynamics are something I'm not particularly interested in. I prefer more introspective or existential themes. And when we're getting political, I'm more interested in stuff that cuts to the root of the issue.

Or "cut!", or "and that's a wrap!"
or "stunt cock!"

This won't be considered a success unless this thread passes the Joey one in number of pages

No
You never really defined 'good' yourself in the interview. How do you define the word?
I'm not convinced there is such a thing as objectively "good." Personal ideology plays too heavily into interpretations and responses. We can reach a degree of faux-objectivity when debating individual elements, how they're executed, and whether they jell with other elements, but that doesn't always ultimately indicate quality in a larger sense.
This makes a good amount of sense to me, and I think I tend to lean toward this way of thinking. I just inferred some unspoken element of objectivity from your conversation with Stip. And that surprised me coming from you. But obviously, that was all on me.

I don't know. Based on everything I know about you... I wish I'd had a professor like you in school.

Eurydice, The Bacchae, Electra and Medea are the ones that really spring to mind. And also anything involving Dionysus. Obviously.

I think the subtext of this is that stip views himself as a citizen in a society, while I view myself as a god
