1: I wouldn't say better but...
* e.g., ... Hym "Oh, I'm not much of an orator but you know what they say about orators: 'As long as they are poor the state and the people can only praise their uprightness; but once they are fattened on the public's funds, the conceive a hatred for justice, plan intrigues against the people, and attack the democracy' ~ Aristophanes. Not that I'm the biggest fan of democracy... But I am an archetypal figure and multiple people have been intimated into the culture in their peripheral association to me. And, as a diagnostician, I'm like 2 for 2 over here. So, I wouldn't say 'better' but I'm sure I would do a pretty good job." 🤷
