Will Dilbert take the Atlantis pill?

Huh? The absolute need for a material explanation lead to a wrong diagnosis for years? Huh.... that's so weird? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

True story...

"Moral excellence is destroyed by defect and excess. ... For one can see this at once in the case of gymnastic exercises. If they are overdone, the strength is destroyed, while if they are deficient, it is so also. And the same is the case with food and drink. For if too much is taken health is destroyed, and also if too little, but by the right proportion strength and health are preserved. The same is the case with temperance and courage and the rest of the excellences. For if you make a man too fearless, so as not even to fear the gods, he is not brave but mad, but if you make him afraid of everything, he is a coward. To be brave, then, a man must not either fear everything or nothing. The same things, then, both increase and destroy excellence."

Aristotle, Magna Moralia 1185b1
