  The dramatic nature of Plato’s dialogues is delightfully evident in the Symposium. The marriage between character and thought bursts forth as the guests gather at Agathon’s house to celebrate the success of his first tragedy. With wit and insight, they each present their ideas about love—from Erixymachus’s scientific naturalism to Aristophanes’ comic fantasy.
   
  The unexpected arrival of Alcibiades breaks the spell cast by Diotima’s ethereal climb up the staircase of love to beauty itself. Ecstasy and intoxication clash as Plato concludes with one of his most skillful displays of dialectic.

  What if the greatest mystery of Nutrition… has gone unnoticed? 
  For generations we have accepted tidy explanations: 
  Eat this, avoid that, follow the rules. 
  But beneath the surface, something just doesn’t add up. 
  The human body thrives without our conscious control: 
  Meals disappear, nutrients are sorted, and energy appears out of nowhere – with no chef, no control tower, no captain. 
  Which really begs the question: how does it all work? 
  The Engineered Primate is a journey into the logistics of life. It is an exploration of the hidden mechanisms that shape us from the inside out. Each chapter peels back a layer: 
  Why does digestion even exist? 
  What was the environmental pressure in deep time that made a digestive system necessary? 
  How does order arise in a body with no conscious overseer? 
  …and why have we rarely asked these questions when creating our nutritional models? 
  This is not another diet manual. 
  It is a trail of clues inviting you to reconsider what you thought you knew about the very act of eating.

  When God created the world, he considered everything to be good, and when God created man, everything was very good. With the fall into sin, evil entered our world. That was the beginning of mankind's misfortune.  The song, 'Wonderful Grace' sung by Chey at the end of the sermon, gives the listener an opportunity to reflect on the sermon.
