He isn't fluent in Latin and ancient Greek

It's not projection. I studied Latin for a long time and girls have laughed at me for it.

me on the right

>implying the average college sorority/frat dipshit knows anything more than the few greek letters by which they can identify other frats/sororities on campus

I'm curious, how did that come up in conversation?

Be honest, were you trying to gloat and it backfired?

Nope, just talking about classes. Lots and lots of people think that studying dead languages is a waste of time, and I'm kind of one of them now.

Talking about your classes in Latin could be conceived as being a ostentatious dick. So can using the word 'ostentatious'

This is at a top liberal arts college. Every class anyone there is taking could be seen as pretentious.

I only posted that in jest, m80. What college?

oh wow a bunch of old white guys talking about how great their dicks are, what an exciting canon of literature and philosophy

fucking pass

That's right. I wasted years learning Latin. I remember enrolling in the first course on a whim. In those days I was an engineering student. My parents were so proud. Even I was so confident about my future. I had an excellent well-paying job at the local computer repair shop. But then I enrolled in Latin. I watched as my career as an engineer fell apart. I lost interest in the courses. I became interested solely in the classics. I was fired from my job for reading Commentaries on the Gallic War during my shift. I was reading it in English that day. While I walked home with my severance in my pocket I read it again, in Latin. I watched as my girlfriend fucked someone named Chad from her French class. Even my childhood best friend abandoned me when she turned to the Spanish department. I didn't care. I had already ascended to the realm of the classics. I was, and am, euphoric.

>implying literature had evolved
Things Fall Apart is probably sitting on your shelf, read it for the 1,000,001 time until the book Fall Apart.

kek

Maybe you could be The Invisible user

ahahahaha
saved

>implying frat dudes can't major in classics

Fuck you

>implying i didnt learn the greek alphabet by majoring in physics

Nobody cares, you virginal number monkey

>implying you merely know how the letters are pronounced or what a diphthong is

i also majored in critical theory so i studied worthwhile modern philosophy instead of antiquated trash

>worthwhile modern philosophy

reminder that plato thought women were irrational because their uteruses literally floated around their bodies

tell me why i should take someone who makes such baseless and wrong claims seriously, with zero irony and full confidence, whatsoever

This was pretty good.

STEMfaggots, everyone.

I know ancient Greek. Is there a way I can type it?

phallogocentrism is a fucking plague on rational thought

>men are logical and women are emotional
>i have a penis
>therefore anything i say is right
>also if you object then ill just rape you because my penis can cure your hysteria

Now you're just fighting an enemy which you have pulled out of your ass. You have problems.

nope, im pretty sure the guy who came up with logos and pathos was the one who attributed them to different genders and also decided which one supersedes the other

What'sεφαρμογή

That's cool dude.

certainly, it's not even hard, windows has built in support for the greek alphabet (they still use the same alphabet), you just should add the greek layout, you will likely need a keyboard or keyboard stickers with the greek letters though

>he's never had an argument with a woman
>he's never seen how women adopt the values of whatever man is most prominent in their lives

i'm glad that you can see how indefensible plato's stance on these things is, maybe now you'll reconsider the general validity of his works (hint: they're all trash)

Are you still talking?

It's “phallocentrism”, not “phallogocentrism”. You're not well versed in Greek, aren't you?

>also if you object then ill just rape you because my penis can cure your hysteria

What is your argument against this? Is it not reasonable?

if you're so good at greek then maybe take another crack at reading that word there, pal

Because people with dumb ideas can also have good ones.

Hey at least we know he didn't murder women and cut out their ovaries, so that's something.

realism is also trash ontology so tell me again what plato had good ideas about?

It hasn't any meaning in Greek.

boys' thighs

hint: it's a portmanteau

I see. Then it should be “phallologocentrism”. I couldn't guess it was a made-up term coined by a low-tier philosopher.

it's bad and you should feel bad

Derrida should feel bad

i don't particularly care whether or not you like the word but consider maybe forming an actual refutation/argument against my points?

jk obviously you can't which is why you're being petty about words with obvious and applicable meaning

>the trifecta of dead languages

You are just aping Derrida and friends. If you want an argument then go look for the many responses to his nonsense you unoriginal twat.

Then KYS

I'm not the person you're responding to, I just came to point out “phallogocentrism” doesn't make sense. Your discussion doesn't interest me.

Post your work

desu i knew i qt nerdy / sporty girl in high school french class who said she wanted to learn latin. she read almost exclusively YA though.

go read gender trouble by judith butler

it's not transparent, it's obfuscatory, it doesn't follow natural portmanteau pattern and it makes you look dumb like you made a mistake and even given the full picture from when you explained it your point is still dumb

thats why it's bad
and that's why you should feel bad

>taking action to cure madness
>bad

harry potter was translated to latin so she still could read ya in latin

if you can't figure out what phallogocentrism means in a discussion of logic and the phallus then i pity your comprehension

Great cap. I studied physics (not the above physics user though) and enjoyed learning about the world I lived in. I ended up dropping the major in my last year after becoming disgusted with how rabid the STEM circlejerk had become among my classmates, and how great the disparity had grown between what I knew about science and what I knew about history, culture, and literally everything else. The "learning about the world I lived in" line didn't really hold up to scrutiny anymore considering that I spent all my time doing statistical mechanics problem sets while knowing zero world history and never having read Shakespeare.

It's sad and ironic that the "enlightened" STEM kids tend to have the narrowest perspectice of life. There are a few who are well rounded, but most have no clue about anything outside of their field, which becomes increasingly specific and narrow as they get "smarter."

bet you cant say the entire greek alphaber in 4,1 seconds like me

severely underrated post

Pursue both, then. Get a B.Sc. in mathematics and a B.A. in history.

Why life's so unfair

I must say, that napkin makes a surprising good hat.

Girl on the right wants it but Alfonso looks pissed and has a knife.

Wat do?

He didn't get that six pack in a day, he probably didn't start off making more than 100,000 a year, and he didn't wake up one morning with the ability to speak 3 languages. Get to it.

Good post

>Not knowing Latin and French

kek

Just saved from another thread.

>just saved
>thinks we can't read the date

I have studied Latin for a long time and have gotten laid for it. We must move in different circles.

They're ugly, though.
>rationalists
'muh rationalism' is irrational.

>Thinking he speak the best language.
>Thinking he knows about poetry and literature.
>He don't speak Spanish.

Sad life.

Honestly this. Learning spanish was one of the smartest fucking things I've ever done. There's no reason not to because if you dedicate a good amount of time to it you can be decent in a few months and passable in a year.

Hispanic women also go fucking nutso for white and black men who can speak spanish worth a shit.

>no reason not to learn Spanish

well, other than the fact that it's a grease fart pleb language

Γιγνωσkω Ελληνιkά Κασίγνητος εμός.

Χαλεπος εστιν, αλλά εθελω πολλά μανθάνειν.

Every time I speak or hear spanish I feel covered in grime. Disgusting language. Only thing I regret in life.

>there are people who don't speak italian
