Experts may disagree
over what they actually said,

but there's no doubt these Greek pioneers
changed the way we [?].

Did a philosopher ever think of an idea
so big it split their head open?

Not that I'm aware of.

You know how the human brain
is full of pipes? Philosophers--

-I'm not.
-You didn't know about that?

-I didn't know about that.
-Okay, well, the brain's [?] of pipes.

You know how philosophers
have these thoughts,

and they try and push these thoughts
through these pipes?

When you're having a [?] idea,

is it best to break it up into lots of
little thoughts, about the size of peas,

and squeeze them through
in quick succession,

or just bite the bullet and force it
through your mind pipe in one huge clod,

like gritting your [?]
and thinking for dear life?

Well, that's a very interesting way
of describing

two general tendencies in philosophy.

One, the more analytic style,

which [?] cutting problems up
into bite-sized portions…

Peas.

…and the other a more synthetic approach

which takes on a larger perspective.

So your characterization is, in fact,

a [?] intriguing delineation

of two major strands
in current philosophy.

-Is that good?
-Excellent.

Great.

Meanwhile, ancient Greece was being
spread across the [?] by this man,

Alexander the Great.

Alexander the Great became a king at 20,

conducted a military campaign
throughout the Middle East,

and had an empire stretching
all the way from Greece to India

by the time he was 30.

What did his [?] look like?

I don't know.
