I know I am very dense and too literal minded, but what are the three words?

I don’t know. I pondered what they could be for a long time after the essay was originally posted, but never figured it out. Perhaps someone else has some idea. A maddeningly brilliant literary technique, to be sure.

that all men’s behavior is guided by phobos, kerdos, and doxa,” said the Time Traveler. “Fear, self-interest, and honor.”

Three words.

Fear, self-interest, & honor? If this really happened, I'd be much more receptive and accepting, although I want more proof of the time travel, I'm willing to wave that and listen. My first action, if it was me, would be tell him to wait for a sec while I get my 1970's era tape recorder and shove a tape and 4 C batteries into it and then talk.

Wish I had resources, I'd let him take a few crates of M1 Garands, M1911A1's and ammo with him.
