>he's still asking why

Wrong approach duke. Do things and proceed with what feels right I'd say. Overthinking is tiring and futile. Make use of the freedom from a definite answer on what you should do.

>tell me about a complicated man

>The word Wilson has translated as “complicated” is polutropos, one of Homer’s regular epithets for Odysseus. It means, literally, “many turned” or “much turning”. It leads us to think of his duplicity, his cunning, his epic wanderings, his suffering, the things he does and things that are done to him on his journey home to Ithaca. “Complicated” comes from the Latin verb plico, which means to fold. Plico comes from the Greek pleko, one of whose meanings is devise or contrive; occasionally it means “to form the plot of a tragedy”. The deliciousness of the word “complicated” is that it suggests that the twists and turns have their darker aspects: this man has layers. Wilson’s translation is constantly alert to the cost of Odysseus’s homecoming. He slaughters his wife’s suitors and a dozen female slaves in order to regain his property and status. And he is the only man of his fleet to reach Ithaca alive. “He failed to keep them safe,” writes Wilson. “He could not save them from disaster,” is Robert Fagles’ version for Penguin. Chapman has: “But so their fates he could not overcome.” The Greek? “All’ oud’ hos hetairous erruasato” – “but even so he did not protect his companions”. Whereas male translations have a habit, perhaps quite unconsciously, of letting Odysseus off the hook (he tried his best! He just couldn’t manage it!), Wilson is more attentive to the poem’sfoldedness, its complexity.

Good one.

Serious question, how do I become more knowledgeable on Current Affairs? I read papers 3x weekly but can barely remember events, much less names. These events usually have "prequels" to them that have long and detailed history, which are distorted by online searches (due to writer bias etc.) I'm lost...

Please, your politicians are practically bending ass over to allow us in and will do so for a long time coming, after all, it's better to bend over and take it up the ass than be labelled a racist
