Sure! Let the rich take all of the money that I paid into Social Security and Medicare. I dare them to try and see the reaction of the 68 million people when someone tries to take it from them.

A preliminary (AI assisted)
transcription & first English translation of John Locke's review of Newton's Principia
#HPS #philsky ⚛️
