In the Ancient Greek “to know thyself is the beginning of wisdom” said Socrates forever, and they made him drink poison because maybe biblical (even without a bible) I mean sexual I mean onanism I mean telling the world to masturbate I mean corrupting youth, a child trafficker, a man put to death (by drinking hemlock, smells like mouse urine) in spite of being a great thinker providing us with philosophy, a kind of Woody Allen/Harvey Weinstein/Jeffrey Dahmer/Bezos I mean Epstein of his time. I have a tshirt from my best aunt with an owl on it and the Greek phrase copied from the oracle at Delphi, the temple of Apollo, the idea of being blinded by the sun, the idea of being yourself can't happen unless you know who that is, so. The Perfume Society knows a drop of hemlock adds intrigue and depth in the smallest doses.
