Dear Keith,
In the first sentence of my last post, I should have written, "_Some
of_ you may not like his [GK's] style of writing..." While I replied to
posts from four people, only three commented on GK's prose, and only one
made comments on his person. You did neither.
Instead, you offered a short meditation on the etymology of culture and
cultivation.
I nevertheless remain concerned about your Pythagorean leanings. When I
have collected the rooster and eggs you owe me, my concerns will be
significantly reduced. I now retire to the kitchen to slice the cold
chicken we cooked last night and -- since I am not myself a Pythagorean
-- I will prepare a bean salad to go with it.
Your colleague in the sacred mysteries,
Ken

In talking about cults we need to remember that “cult” shares its
origins with “culture” and “cultivate.”
