1. Not what alpha means in this situation
2. The Iliad wasn’t written between 1870 and 1930
3. It was meant to be sung in performances, not spoken
4. “1.25x is best” is so narcissistic
5. That’s the wrong fucking bookThey’re giving this dipshit 1 trillion dollars https://t.co/nfNhJwOX4i

Penguin audiobook at 1.25x speed is best. It was meant to spoken really fast, not spoken normally.
