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.

Replying to @NegarestaniReza
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.

Replying to @AforAbstraction
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.

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.

Screw them all. If they can't learn English they have no hope for a universal revolution.
