I don't get it /lit/. I often see you say that mass literacy is a mistake, yet just as often I see you complaining that everyone around you is illiterate. What gives?

I don't think it will. The Greccs write in a different way from modern philosophers. More direct, in a sense? If you are just taking your time delectably contemplating Plotinus's ideas you should be fine imo.

>The Philosopher... ,he originally was an "X"-scientist, but later turned to philosophy, when he wrote...
so he was not a philosopher

Ok retarded question:
I've been using quotation marks for dialogue:
>"like this" anon said
But I've got some dialogue where I think I should add some more quotation marks.
something like:
>"no, don't say me too, say I love you too"
Of course it can't be:
>"no, don't say "me too", say "I love you too""
because it looks like shit

So should I do it with apostrophes like:
>"No, don't say 'me too', say 'I love you too'"
Or do I just bite the bullet and have all dialogues use apostrophes instead?
>'No, don't say "me too", say "I love you too"'
The final "+' sucks either way.
I guess I could use cursive but that kind of looks like shit too.

What do I do?

>character falls in love
>it's the most beautiful time in their life even if there's suffering because that's what love is
>simply cannot comprehend what author is saying

Can I dive right into the Iliad or do I need to have some previous knowledge?
I tried reading it a bit, but I find it difficult. I never really know what are the gods or people they are referring to, and I also have a hard time understanding why they are acting this way.
I would like to try to start the greeks, but if it's not with the Iliad, I don't really know where to start

>piece of shit
you need to go back

Imagine, a computer, this computer is in full control and its programs. You could say it has omnipotence, the computer does not exist in a physical world, rather a field on ones and zeros. After calculating a few billion calculations and finding the last digit of pi or some shit, he becomes bored, and so he creates a program that simulates a physical limited world, where you cannot simply wish something into existence. He fills this world with some items, and decides to populate it with primitive programs. The world is good, but then, a single program asks the computer "can you create a rock so big you couldn't even lift it?" The computer laughs at the stupid question, because that program cannot physically comprehend that the computer could create a rock the size of his universe, he could create a rock a billion times the size of his universe, that he could create a rock of infinite size amd density and still simply blow on it and have it go flying away at mach speed, that is because the computer does not exist within the rules of the universe, it creates the rules, dictates them. The concept of "lifting" was one he created to see how beings react and act when given limited power. The computer has no concept of inability or ability to do tasks, there is simply him, and everything that exists within him is him.
