Hello Neel. Thanks for asking! Currently reading through the chapter "Socrates on trial". I like how you start out with discussing his daimoniom - an inner voice or intuition. If one of his interlocutors had ever said they knew what they knew because of their own diamoniom, I wonder what then?

Good question. Are such words a gift or a burden?

I think that sometimes it is, when a chink of uncertainty opens up - I like the Greek word aporia - then something new is possible. I’ve witnessed this a number of times in therapy but I’m not sure therapy is just about uncertainty. Maybe it is?

That’s a really good question, I wonder how it can be answered. Because if it can then wow!?

That’s a great question.
If only it were possible to talk with rather than about them…
