I enjoyed this greatly. I'm grateful that it reminded me that Justinian is the sole speaker in the sixth canto of Dante's Paradiso, and of one of my (MANY) favorite tercets:
Diverse voci fanno dolci note;
così diversi scanni in nostra vita
rendon dolce armonia tra queste rote.
~~~
Differing voices join to sound sweet music;
so do the different orders in our life
render sweet harmony among these spheres.

Always fun to review some medieval history with Dan Jones!

I struggled to finish this book. My mindset alternated among three states: 1) This is obvious, accepted, and no, there is no need to spend all this time on it (e.g. attention impacts learning); 2) This is plausible, but irrelevant (e.g. pupil dilation); 3) This is unexpected, surprising, potentially interesting, but I don’t see any evidence here that is convincing (e.g. priming and many others).
