Many, if not most, journals are highly specific.

The International Journal of the Platonic Tradition is my favourite journal for example, but its conversations are very insular. Even Plato scholars are unwelcome in this journal. Their focus being Plato, and only Plato, to the exclusion of his successors.

What if I told you that you don't like classical literature enough?

I thought it was impossible for /lit/ to get worse but here we are. All you depressive (not actually diagnosed with depression, or any disorders) 16-23 year olds have become obsessed with preserving something which never existed. "The West". It's so fucking meaningless. Talk about your country, only you'd hate to actually become informed on your country. That would mean you'd have to participate, and no /pol/ isn't participation. No, just keep clutching your Bibles and hoping things will become epic like they were during the crusades. Keep wishing to be completely subjugated you fucking rats. Say to yourself the west is the best the west is the best well it used to be the best now it's like the rest. What a nice fucking excuse. Keep posting Ted threads without even skimming his Wikipedia page. Keep clinging to your infantile idealization of history, culture and ethics. You're on a fucking literature board, read some fucking books. Don't finish it and come make a shitty thread here. Read supplemental material and actually think about what you read. I swear to God you retards are so unthinking you get converted by the Wikipedia summary to The Brothers Karamazov.

The idea of God has been twisted and wrung out for the poor uneducated masses for hundred of years, pseudo intellectuals claim that by believing in God, you become a better person, by following his ideals and all, but that's bullshit. Human nature can't be changed and is always gonna be the same, regardless if there is an actual God or not. And even if there was one, does he actually contribute to reality in any way? Is there a difference if he created the universe or not? If a tree falls in a forest and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound?

One Lombardo is worth seventy Wilsons.

Listen aloud before making your judgement.

Homer is meant to be listened to.

>that feel when your distant descendant has a crush on you

Keep the piss drinking to a minimum.

I love the classics more than most.
How should I announce this to the world?
