all right we're continuing to learn the m al I think this is our fourth class I'm not going to give an extensive review because if you want to really go through what we've learned before you can watch the recordings but I'll just set us up as far as context at the end of class two we had just finished chapter five of the mimer and we were understanding this concept of Lottery from a perspective that really made it seem like wow hman was really on to something what an evil genius he was this Lottery thing is going to actually work and then in the previous class where we studied chapters 6 and S we didn't answer that question we sort of added to it and said yeah really this Lottery thing seems like it's really going to work and we still haven't explained why it well thank God it didn't work because it was an attempted annihilation of the entire Jewish people so thank God it didn't work but we still don't have an answer to why it didn't work and and I I I love the fact that we don't have an answer to that question and I'll tell you why because it's a question that none of us had before we started learning the mimer if were we to say why work well you're right well we're not going to
