I understand you may specialize in ideas, or politics, or something else but PLEASE equip yourself with a basic grasp of how material conditions change over time.
I had to learn Pindar and Aristotle and Hobbes and Rousseau, you can learn how prices work.

whom Theban maidens celebrate
all the night through,
singing of her and of Pan
not far from where I dwell.’
