This is an outstanding lecture on a play that has renewed relevance during this pandemic. I first read Dr. Faustus in 1976 and was immediately struck by its central theme. Professor Vidya-mirta gets right to the point when she says, "But the play, as we read it, also demonstrates to us that even as you can question, as you can be skeptical, there are also limits to how much you can question and how far you can go in your pursuit of learning." Now, let us consider Dr. Anthony Fauci and his ilk, academics who condone and financially support the gain of function research on bat viruses, etc. Why in the world are we trying to create more transmissible and virulent strains of already dangerous viruses? So that we can develop new vaccines and stay one step ahead of nature? And that's just the tip of the iceberg. There are other disturbing experiments funded by the NIH, ones involving beagles - and too sickening to describe. And yet, we are continually told to "follow the science," as if science were absolute and unchanging. But not following the science isn't the problem; it's the unbridled hubris that leads scientists to venture into the unethical and inhumane - experiments that inflict incomprehensible pain and suffering on the innocent, or that may even endanger our very existence. Dr. Fauci is the modern-day Dr. Faustus, celebrated by the elites and worshipped by the fearful. He has been given untold powers and yet has told us nothing: don't need a mask; wear a mask, two if possible; inside; outside; not children; yes, children; no vaccine mandates; by all means, mandates; celebrate Thanksgiving and Christmas and New Years; but celebrate alone. To his credit, Fauci has achieved all the fame and power that only the Joe Bidens of this world can can dream of, but as Marlowe reminds us, fame is fleeting and power illusory. Like Dr. Faustus, Dr. Fauci will soon be remembered as a fraud, an arrogant fool who worships at the feet of modern "necromancy." We can at least feel sorry for Dr. Faustus. I feel no sympathy for Dr. Fauci. Let us celebrate instead the millions of doctors, nurses and health care workers - all around the world - who are doing their best to save lives, despite a suspicious lack of government funding in the development of effective, affordable treatments. In other words, let us celebrate a younger Dr. Fauci, not the one we now see. I apologize for this lengthy rant and hope that it has not offended any readers, most of all Professor Vidya-mirta. I am eternally grateful that I studied classic literature as a young man because the lessons endure, and that is why I commented. Lastly, I pray that you and your loved ones get through this pandemic in good health and that you succeed in all your academic endeavors.

@@spaghettisauce-zk2vg Excuse me? I am not a racist. I married a woman of a different race. I taught students from every corner of this world. Wrote and directed plays with and for multi-racial casts. I am sick and tired of people like you who are so quick to judge others and who buy into the propaganda that is put forward as truth. I could say some mean things about you, but I know better than to stoop so low. You are a better person than that.
