While you're trying to improve the mind, Chad is over there banging Stacy and Lacy on your stack of books while hopped up on preworkout.

Why aren't you guys recommending to him the greeks? It's not even about starting ith them. A person like him can only benefit from the greeks, so he understands he needs to work out both his SPIRIT, and his BODY
not his ""mind"" or ""brain"" like manletbrainlets from /sci/ would say

Xenophanes

>it is not right to prefer physical strength to noble Wisdom. For it is not the presence of a good boxer in the community, nor of one good at the Pentathlon or at wrestling, nor even of one who excels in fleetness of foot—which is highest in honour of all the feats of strength seen in men's athletic contests—it is not these that will give a City-State a better constitution. Small would be the enjoyment that a City-State would reap over the athletic victory of a citizen beside the banks of Pisa! These things do not enrich the treasure-chambers of the State.
(Fragment 3. Freeman, K.)

To answer seriously, any introduction to critical thinking. If every moron had at least an elementary level of critical thinking we'd be operating on a smoother social cohesiveness.

Just read some Dickens, it'll at least impart some basic sentence structure and capacity for following sprawling plots and a multitude of characters. David Copperfield is a great place to start.
