This lecture discusses key ideas from the Renaissance-era philosopher, critic, and essayist Michel De Montaigne's work Essays, specifically his essay On Cato The Younger

It focuses upon that Stoic statesman and philosopher, Cato, who fought in the Civil War against Julius Caesar and killed himself rather than accept Caesar's offered amnesty. While discussing him, Montaigne makes some important points about not judging the capacities of other people by reference to our own, or thinking that because our times are particularly badly off with respect to virtue, that all times and cultures are.

What is the cost of absolute power? Step into the Invincible universe with this aggressive cypher rap, channeling the energy of Rustage to embody the Viltrumite threat. Featuring verses from the perspective of Omni-Man, Conquest, Thadeus, Thragg, and Invincible himself, the track explores the core tenets of the Viltrum Empire – strength, subjugation, and survival. Feel the earth shake under their cosmic might as each Viltrumite lays down their claim and ideology over a heavy, driving beat. Resistance is futile... or is it?

God wants to build character in your life! Character is standing for what is right when no one is looking. The Bible is filled with people who had developed spiritual character.
