For those concerned I am doing too much pubbing and not spending enough time on academic endeavours, kindly read the following and prepare yourself for discussion:

Particularly focus on why Pico uses defensive language. Why would this be seen as a radical, offensive idea in the fifteenth century? What implications do Pico's ideas have for the relationship between God, man and nature?
Otherwise, I will continue to skim the dull academic matter and focus primarily on things that are entertaining, like experiences at the pub.
