      <itunes:summary>After a ridiculous hiatus, here is the last of my three reads of the famous letters of the philosopher Epicurus.

In his letter to Pythocles, he discusses what can be observed in celestial phenomena, including the sun, moon, stars and weather. Throughout the text he makes regular mention of the need to keep one's mind open to other possibilities, while multiple possibilities remain to be disproven.

I do believe I'm answering a question that, quite frankly, no-one ever intended to ask.

There are no effects on this track. Enjoy the horror.</itunes:summary>
