      I've never been disenchanted by the charade of what tries to come off as philosophy. Thought experiment: Put a humorous and free-minded philosopher in a pandemic lockdown. If the person doesn't come out with some biting humor, that person has been faking it. Zizek syndrome.

      Reza, a non-related question, when did you start learning English? and was wondering, if at some point you felt, that in order to fully grasp complex ideas in English (even though you understand them) you have to do something with your Farsi. ground the ideas in Farsi somehow.

      I started learning English around 12-13. Being a farsi nerd, it was difficult but learning new languages is not difficult at all. You just need to the crack the core protocol and then you can master a language. I'd say that there is nothing special or exotic about any language.

          Going to try it soon, probably Spanish, (did Latin at school). From what I have heard the most important thing is wanting to speak with people in the other language, and then doing so.

          For druj's sake, don't. If you learn one language you have learned it all. Invest your cognitive resources on more rewarding cognitive enterprises.

          Sure, I meant to compare a second language to one's mother tongue. Some research suggests the better you are at one's mother tongue, the better you are in cementing a second language. was wondering especially when you're dealing with philosophy as complex as it could get.

          Can't testify to that. While I knew a great deal of Farsi, learning English was difficult. Everyone can learn another language but the real challenge is aiming to master a language. That I think requires reading texts and behave as if you were an algorithmic learning machine.

      Loading seems to be taking a while.
