that's interesting. did you take many english classes in undergrad or did you just do a lot of self study?

Because all these "revelations" I have through my suffering through life has been thought hundreds if not thousands of years before I thought of them, and it is much more well said. I would be a retard to have to discover life when it's already been pieced together, just as I would be a retard to discover how to build a chair when IKEA already did that for me.

started it for school assignments, now just can't stop. i don't enjoy it

Why, isn't it rather cruel to drop a man here, in such a pitiful state, and then go on asking him wherefore he asks wherefore? What was he supposed to do, take it all for granted? Why, then you'd call him ungrateful, rude, careless! You'd say, well doesn't he want to know what I dropped him here for? How come he's not asking questions? Doesn't he care? Isn't he at all impressed? What a dullard, what a bore! A veritable cheat!

You hypocrite, how dare you! Leave it alone then, old boy, and let him ask whence and wherefore, or would you have him sup with the pigs and stand in one place for the rest of the day like an ass until he's hungry again? It's not like he's to find much out anyway, so let him alone would you! Or would you tell him how to play also? The poor man! So miserable and short-lived! But look! Look how he goes on delighted at his progress, how he gathers evidence and shows it to his friends, how he thinks quite hard on the matter, and so forth, and writes it all down and is quite satisfied, and pours himself a much deserved cup of tea, and so on. But you're over here, judging, sitting on your high horse, pitying the foolish mortals and what have you. Well, why? Haven't you got something better to do?

Listening to philosophers helps me to learn diverse, superior methods of phrasing, to express myself more clearly.
