The Delphic Podcasts by Michael R D James, Copilot, Athens, Sparta and "Know Thyself" Season 17 Episode 1
from Delphic Podcast by Michael R D James · host Michael R D James
An argument with my AI servant Copilot over who the Ancient Greek Oracles supported in the Peloponnesian war. Thucydides suggested that the Oracle supported Sparta but this is unlikely given firstly, their view of the importance of "Know thyself" and the wisdom of Socrates and secondly, their view, reported in Plato's Republic, "everything created by man will lead to ruin and destruction". Co pIlot begins by arguing for the relativity of morality and not seeing the humanistic heritage we received from Ancient Greece, but changes its position when challenged, just like a politician eager for your vote.http://michaelrdjames.orgDelphic Podcast
