…occurred in less than 50 years. It's eerie to read his examples of contemporaneity, because there's stuff like Marilyn Monroe, Perry Como, James Dean. I mean, he's writing from another era, and yet, from his point of view, he's firmly embedded in a kind…

…his niece in the 15th letter and so forth and so on. And the task is to hold it in your mind. I think it was James, I think it was William James who said, if we don't read the books with which we carefully line our apartments, then we're no better…
…passage in, I think it's Luke. It's the morning after the entombment of Christ and the three Marys. Mary the mother of James, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the mother of Christ, go to the tomb, and Christ is there standing beside the rolled away stone.…

…They lie as much as they tell the truth. So it's a little puzzling as to why, but definitely, that's right. That's right. James calls the cognitive imperative that things happen because we believe. That's right. So a lot of the use of all these things…
