High place without virtue is an evil, not a good. Power is an empty name. Philosophy lectures Boethius on the false promise of power, and **George Orwell** answers her on whether the powerful can indeed get to the rational man (I read a **passage from Orwell’s 1984**). Happiness, honour, power, and the relation between the virtuous and the powerful.

<p>Philosophy takes Boethius to task for his love of glory. She reminds him of the fleeting nature of human life, and the impermanence of fame. This is the last of the four false pursuits of happiness: wealth, power, pleasure, and honour (as Aristotle would have called them). We get a visit from Carl Sagan, at the end, echoing Philosophy's counsel on the foolishness of glory.</p>

Fame is a thing of little account when compared with the immensity of the Universe and the endlessness of Time. Philosophy takes Boethius to task for his love of glory. She reminds him of the fleeting nature of human life, and the impermanence of fame. This is the last of the four false pursuits of happiness: wealth, power, pleasure, and honour (as Aristotle would have called them). *Bonus Content: We get a visit from **Carl Sagan**, at the end, echoing Philosophy’s counsel on the foolishness of glory*, in his famous “Pale Blue Dot”.
