3 timestamped sections using the same paragraph analysis.

Section 1: 00:00:08,240 – 00:00:50,389

00:00:08,240 → 00:00:10,950 But can you first give me just this

00:00:10,960 → 00:00:12,950 golden nugget please? which is

00:00:12,960 → 00:00:13,509 >> yes

00:00:13,519 → 00:00:18,150 >> is people think that in ancient Greece

00:00:18,160 → 00:00:19,670 sometimes

00:00:19,680 → 00:00:23,029 uh in discussions I have um that they

00:00:23,039 → 00:00:25,590 were like kind of illiterated like uh

00:00:25,600 → 00:00:27,509 people at that time doesn't know how to

00:00:27,519 → 00:00:30,550 read how to how to write you know and

00:00:30,560 → 00:00:34,229 and so what do you think about that that

00:00:34,239 → 00:00:35,430 idea

00:00:35,440 → 00:00:39,110 >> if if people were illiterate or largely

00:00:39,120 → 00:00:42,150 illiterate we would not have thousands

00:00:42,160 → 00:00:45,510 upon thousands upon thousands of pages

00:00:45,520 → 00:00:47,350 of Greek.

00:00:47,360 → 00:00:50,389 If they were illiterate, they must not

Section 2: 00:00:50,399 – 00:01:28,630

00:00:50,399 → 00:00:53,430 have been going to the libraries they

00:00:53,440 → 00:00:55,910 were building and they must not have

00:00:55,920 → 00:00:58,150 been involved in education because

00:00:58,160 → 00:01:01,510 onethird of the earliest Greek education

00:01:01,520 → 00:01:03,189 is

00:01:03,199 → 00:01:06,149 language. So um to say that they're ill

00:01:06,159 → 00:01:09,590 were literate is just it's usually the

00:01:09,600 → 00:01:12,870 monists who do that Christian people who

00:01:12,880 → 00:01:15,109 have a Christian education

00:01:15,119 → 00:01:18,070 western Christian education tend to

00:01:18,080 → 00:01:20,310 float that stupidity out there. But it's

00:01:20,320 → 00:01:21,749 not true. We wouldn't have all these

00:01:21,759 → 00:01:24,550 documents if we'd if they didn't. And

00:01:24,560 → 00:01:26,070 they just haven't read anything from

00:01:26,080 → 00:01:28,630 antiquity because that's all dude that's

Section 3: 00:01:28,640 – 00:01:47,200

00:01:28,640 → 00:01:31,510 all the kids education is. They have to

00:01:31,520 → 00:01:34,630 be able to read Homer Dog, right? And

00:01:34,640 → 00:01:36,789 there's music involved there. And when

00:01:36,799 → 00:01:38,310 we're done with that, we're going to go

00:01:38,320 → 00:01:42,310 get naked and wrestle. So, welcome to

00:01:42,320 → 00:01:47,200 the ancient world. Beautiful.

A note about YouTube auto-transcripts:

Problems:

people mumble or stutter a lot, causes errors in the youtube auto-transcript
people end sentences with e.g. "right?" a lot (may be nice to remove for readability)
youtube can't understand foreign-language words (e.g. Greek, Latin, etc), often resolves them incorrectly
youtube doesn't mark WHO is speaking, so you can't follow who said what.

Each one of these is worth the time in hand correction...
