Very interesting, but my red flag went up a little bit when I looked into this guy. Someone who is big into old white classical philosophy and has a website called reasonio, and is big into the misogynist R. Scott Bakker sets off my libertarian alarm. But I checked his Twitter and he seems to be clearly a Democrat, so flag goes back down for now.

Oh no, he pronounces it Akmanian.
WHAT. I had to get the book off the shelf to confirm. It’s spelled Achamian. WTF is he getting a second n from, and why has the m moved to the left?
He probably just misspoke. He says the name again around the 32:07 minute mark and he pronounces it like it’s written.

Ok. Sigh of relief.
Finally got around to this. He goes over R. Scott Background for a while. Starts talking about TDTCB itself around 29:30.
Today I learned about Sejanus and his political rival Drusus:
I just got an email from Amazon, notifying me that The Great Ordeal is now available to order.
… What?

Wait. you’re confusing me now. This isn’t the new book. This is the old one.
Yeah, why did I get a notification 5 years after it came out?
