Oops you must have uploaded the original, with the old Intro/Outro and faster time. Please try again.
Sorry about that! I think what happened is that I exported the wrong file because I could not find the right one. Here, at 16:39:

Section 2 is also here at 15;14 with fixes

Chapter 2 is PL OK.

Chapter 3 still has a time of 15:40, so you must have uploaded the wrong one again. Please try again.

TIP: Years ago I opened a unique folder called LV Audio Files. Within that folder I create other folders for holding the files of any project where I'm the BC or DPL, and when reading sections for other people's projects, I store them in a folder entitled Miscellaneous. If you form the habit of always saving to the correct folder, you should always be able to find the right one. :)

Preface is PL OK. Thanks!

PL Notes 13
There is one tiny flaw that you can choose to correct, or leave as is (because I don't think anyone listening will notice, but I'm sure Von Mises chose the word carefully.)

3:12 sacrifice the concerns of his petty egoism, you say egotism
"Egoism" is a preoccupation with oneself, but not necessarily feeling superior to others.
"Egotism" is an inflated sense of one's importance; it's being conceited or vain.

If the wrong chapter 3 is still uploaded I am not 100% sure what the solution is, because I have only a 16:38 length file on my computer and when clicking listen in the MW I am seeing a file that is 16:38 long.

PL Notes on Section 3, and Section 2.

I downloaded the 16:38 minute file this time for Section 3, but the Intro/Outro needs to recite the Title:
Chapter 1: The Human Mind (Continued), and end of Chapter 1: The Human Mind (Continued)

I confused you by mistakenly referring to Section 3 as Chapter 3. It is confusing when Section # and Chapter # are not the same.

Alas, I discovered the same Intro/Outro mistake appears on Section 2, which should say Chapter 1, The Human Mind (Part 1), and end of Chapter 1, Part 1.

PL Notes Section 5. Thank you, Paul. Very well paced and enunciated! Just a few notes:

11:00 The physicist G himself, delete G
23:15 missing sentence (in bold) on page 42: "of the same phenomenon. In this sense we may apply to praxeology the dictum of Empedocles xxxxxxx. Some authors have raised..."
You could read xxxxx in English (if you can't read Greek) as: “nothing comes into being and nothing perishes.”, often referred to as the “dictum of Empedocles.” Or, you could go to Pronunciation Help, cite the text page, and ask for someone to pronounce it for you in Greek. I personally prefer knowing what it says, as almost nobody will catch the meaning if said in Greek. Or you could provide both!
Outro should say: End of Chapter 2, Part 1: The Activistic Basis of Knowledge

05 is PL OK!
Now, for consistency's sake, how about confidently reading Part 2 (Section 6)? Then I'll take on Section 7, we'll muddle thru confidently together, and you can PL mine?

On the upside, I didn't see any quotes in the original Greek in Part 2. On the downside, it isn't hard to understand why P.G. Wodehouse didn't pick him as a writing partner for any of his plays or musical comedies. *And* no space battles in Part 2, either, a major bummer from my POV.

But, if you aren't troubled by my nearly-total ignorance of the topic, I can do Section 6.

With confidence, if not understanding.

I've gone ahead and put us both in, for 6 and 7.

Corrected. That's so weird. I took special note of "egoism" versus "egotism," and thought I said the right word! Habits!! Anyhow, here it is with von Mises' term:

Section 13 is PL OK. Thank you!

PL Notes Section 14

4:35 and reject any kind of a-prior-ism, you say ap-por-ism. Apriori being one of Mises most used terms, I guess it would eventually become an 'ism.
