I'm going to be straight with you anon, and I'm not going to elaborate on this to a point where my argument is as logically sound as to be air-tight and considered a proper piece of academic argumentation, but more just something one says in conversation to another person.

This shit just isn't objective. You look at the Universe, there is an almost unpredictable amount of elements that will bring either suffering or joy, and even if you tried to quantify them in both categories in the immediate world around you, they'd be likely neck to neck or you'd notice that suffering isn't as intense, close or conspicuous as the pessimists think.You NEED a biased view of the world to believe it as either leaning towards optimist or pessimism because they are emotional perspectives over the seemingly random series of facts that we call the world, that may bring suffering or joy.

20:00 - At this hour, I do some reading, that goes on for one or two hours, until I feel satisfied, at the point where I'm done reading, I go to sleep. I read for around two hours a day and fulfill around 113 books a year. Most of my reading deals in political theory, philosophy, economics, history, art, religion, theology, literature, mythology, esotericism, business, but recentily I have started reading on themes of robotics, artificial intelligence, hydro power, wind power, thermal power, nuclear energy, and on the history of the CIA and the KGB. I rarely read novels anymore but I manage to fit a handful every year.
22:00 (sometimes 21:00) - Much like at the start of the day, I bookend it by giving my wife a backrub and general back massage, at the end of which she is comfortably tucked in and we are snuggling together. We chit-chat a bit before falling asleep, and at some point one or both of us is slurring our words, tired and ready to fall asleep. There is never any memory of when this little chat ends, as we just blackout eventually.

Different potential, different sheer reasoning capacity. But you'll never "believe" this, because you can't afford to, as some dygenic chinese pedo cartoon watching limp wristed feeble little dweeb needle dicked tweedle dee tweedly dum, dumb mothafuckin nut suckin onions slurpin hot chip lie and twerkin' bitch ass nigga, you need to believe that deep down we're all equal in some way. Its just not true

He took Plato's argument about man being a featherless biped and added extra steps so that it was easier to follow for the average person.
Diogenes was a brainlet, and likely a cr*ationist too.

The only way to the actually acquire the language is through a shit ton of reading and listening. Don't fall for anyone trying to sell you snake oil like Duolingo, grammar books, flash cards, drilling vocab and grammar, living in the country.
Following a method actually backed by science, the one I have highlighted, is the best way.
