Comment on Conspiracy theories (final): the confirmed, the plausible and the busted by Tony van Loon

Hello young Dylan.
So there was this young lad wandering around a nursery in Wallington, one could see that his heart and soul belonged elsewhere. He did well enough to finish his apprenticeship.
Then I hear he was at Uni, and next I hear he teaches philosophy, all this in the blink of an eye. Well done Dylan, and hope you are well.
Tony van Loon.

Hi Dylan,

Have registrations for Chomsky opened yet? I’m not on Facebook. Where else can I get my updates about the lecture?

Best,
Briony

Comment on Notes from Underground by Fyodor Dostoevsky by The Raskol

Does anyone know the original Roman source for this reference to Cleopatra’s supposed sadistic habit of poking gold pins into breasts? I’ve been searching Strabo, Plutarch, and Dio and have yet to find this reference. The only thing anywhere close to it I can find is that she tested poisons and snake venoms on prisoners condemned to death, but that not out of sadistic delight but rather to determine which would be most painless for use in suicide. If anybody can post a legitimate historical account of this, I’d like to see it.
