We should give him a break

Seems like a very unbalanced take. Saying that if you’ve read X you have no need to read Y would eliminate most of the books in the world. That doesn’t invalidate them. Making ideas relatable to different people groups throughout time is not just tolerable, it’s desirable.

It takes less than 5mg of vitamin C a day to prevent scurvy when the body is not processing carbohydrates, which can be gained from meat, and benzos are commonly prescribed for panic attacks and sleep disruptions in people who are going through stressful life events, such as having a wife with cancer. I’m not sure why either of these things warrants mention in a discussion about his philosophical views. Maybe you just hate him for some reason?
