This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "...and if you are common, you can dress up as a woman, show you behind or write poems: there's nothing offensive about a naked behind if it's everybody's; each person will be mirrored in it." in the context of "p. 463" to mean that wisdom is timeless.
