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.

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.

Arabic is actually a great language. Any day I will learn Arabic instead of French.

It's wonderful. It's like doing taxes in Chinese.

Imagine you are doing your debits and credits in some glottal language. That would be Arabic.
