Call me the Man who wishes to plant Ideas with Leaves, not Seeds #KPL01

I first became aware of the site of the future #GardenofReadin about 5 years ago.
I #clinkd on a short article about a property for sale by a #Silverlake celeb I admired.
It was just a few pages long w/ some photos that focused on the interiors and #pool.
I noticed little info about the other structures on the property, the #terrain or location.
The outdoor photos of #cactus and the main structure did not pique further interest.

I knew that Elliot's house from #ET and a special old #cemetery were also in that area.

Even then I knew nothing about my ancient namesake despite my interest in #philosophy.
#Epicurean was just an adjective for a fancy feast or extravagant meal for over 50+ years whenever I noticed its' use in conversations or text and NEVER to signal a #spartan diet.

I've spent the last few weeks trying to remedy this ignorance by watching a number of video features like

Who Was Epicurus? (Famous Philosophers)

Please indicate below when you first learned about who Epicurus was and the site of his Garden.

Don't be surprised if you, like myself just weeks ago, merely believed he was an ancient Greek.

I believe there has been a #conspiracy of #ignorance to shield a number of #vested interests.
