This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, in particular one of the arguments for the existence of the gods presented by Balbus, which we can call the argument from cosmic arrangement, which might be classed as a design or teleological argument. The general idea is that we observe order and arrangement to the universe, which presumably would need to come from very powerful and intelligent being, i.e. the gods.

This lecture discusses key ideas from the ancient philosopher and statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero's work, On The Nature Of The Gods, which critically examines Epicurean, Stoic, and Skeptic perspectives on matters of theology and cosmology

Specifically it focuses upon the presentation of Stoic cosmology and theology by Quintus Lucilius Balbus in book 2, and in particular on the sequence of arguments that he provides, drawing from the works of earlier Stoic authors, intended to make the case for the world itself being God.

This version should have less high-frequency issues, which should make it sound better on a wider variety of devices.

Original description:

This track is a part of the upcoming space journey, of storytelling set of tracks.
After dreaming about the space travelling, we are finally here. Cosmos. A place where we wanted to be is here.

Now we are exploring the world that is bigger than we could ever imagine.
Feels like this world is boundless, so we can use the full power of our spaceship to experience the freedom of travelling.
Who knows where this journey will lead us this *time*?

The cover for Barely Me by Dream3 explodes with cosmic energy, setting a surreal, dreamlike mood. A rainbow-colored nebula swirls across the background, scattered with bright white stars that give the scene a galactic glow. At the center, Dream3 appears in a bold red-and-white space suit, piloting a sleek UFO that cuts through the vibrant colors of deep space. The spaceship radiates retro-futuristic charm, while the nebula trails illuminate the journey with luminous, shifting hues. The bold title “BARELY ME” sits above, with “DREAM3” below, grounding the celestial artwork in a striking, eye-catching design.

Barely me
