Only very low, and very high value males are automatically exposed to honest female behaviour. Everyone else has to figure it out the hard way

probably, but when you look up the translation, it should tell you the pronunciation.
As for the prefix/suffix rules, I'm talking about English. Things such as -cious, -graphy, -lic, etc. I'm sure you're familiar enough with these through English to be able to make reasonable decisions about what fits where.
If you're making words up, as long as it's reasonable, no-one would criticise it

all women are airheads by male standards.
Do you think a gigastacy won't be?
And 3 is inherently just a pseud. Think about the women who act like 3 irl, they are posers who choose the "intelligent" facade as their persona. Where do you think the "dark academia" meme came from? If you don't know what that is, you're in for some cringe.
1 is the only authentic one, who has no pretensions, and simply loves you, and wants to be with you specifically, not just any man to fill the role of husband

yes, they do

true, that is a bit retarded

1
The other two will never love you, or you will love them more than they will love you.
You can get what you would from 3 in a man, with whom you can form a deep platonic brotherhood with.
2 will always be on the lookout for a superior man.
1 will always love you and be loyal, and you can count on her to build a stable, secure family with

Andrei Tarkovsky's diaries 'Time within Time'
Also, read Schopenhauer. Maybe just his essays and aphorisms if you don't want the very heavy philosophy

Have you seen the pewdiepie video on le Diogenes?
He made it about being robbed, and gave some half-baked ascetic justification for why he doesnt care about it.
If he wasn't so philosophically ignorant and redditbrained, he could have spoken about some legitimate philosophical theories on materialism and ascetics, but instead rattled off the trite memes about diogenes.
>Bro, he shitted and pissed himself! He jerked his peepee in public dude! Le chickenman!! He lived in a barrel!
It's embarrassing

What about diaries?
'This Business of Life' by Cesare Pavese for example

Unironically. Women like to circlejerk about how
>omg men can't write female characters! we're too deep for them to write us accurately
This is merely an extension of the beta-male driven misconception that women possess any intellectual or emotional depth whatsoever. Women stop developing in adolescence, and anyone that honestly confronts female nature will inevitably come to the conclusion that women are akin to children with the agency and freedom of adults.
To write a convincing female character, all you need to do is write a child with the language abilities of an adult and make sure to specify that the character is a woman.

I agree, and I think the dumbing-down of philosophical ideas and the pedestalisation of inconsequential historical figures is a good argument as to why midwits are worse than idiots.
Genuinely dumb people stay in their lane, and don't bastardise things to bring them down to their level of understanding

Liking him is not the issue. The point is that redditors who don't have the capacity for actual philosophy have seized upon him, and turned him into their favourite piece of trivia that they can trot out whenever philosophy is mentioned.
He is their go-to story for when they want to pretend they have any philosophical knowledge whatsoever, without any actual reading or study at all.
It's just like what they did to stoicism

Unfortunately I don't think such a book exists, because there is no general process, only the combination of approaches that I described.
As for your example, ἐγκρᾰ́τειᾰ means mastery in ancient Greek, and πεῖνᾰ means hunger. So you could combine them to get something like "enkratipina", which would mean "masteryhunger".
If you pronounce the accent over the first 'i', it sounds like it could be a legitimate english word for the "hunger for mastery", for example:
>His insurmountable enkratipina.
I don't think you would need to learn the languages, just look for the translations of the words you want, consider the pronounciations and transliterations, and any pre-existing prefix and suffix rules. If it sounds legitimate and you can explain how you created the word, then there should be no problem

Society is trending away from unvarnished irony, into narcissistic faux-sincerity, as demonstrated by the "wholesome" reddit meme.
People are realising that they can appear more virtuous by feigning sincerity, but after being raised in the quagmire of irony, do not possess the capacity for truly sincere self-expression and thought.
So the "wholesome" meme came about, wherein the mere description of something as sincere and "wholesome" became an ironic meme in and of itself. By constantly ironically ascribing "wholesomeness" to things like Bob Ross and the like, people are attempting to ape what they believe sincere, unironic appreciation of the non-degenerate looks like.
Before irony was the norm, no-one had to specify what was "wholesome" or sincere, because it was inherently appreciated and valued, and insincerity was admonished.
People are now only capable of expressing ironic sincerity.
Another example of this is Reviewbrah. When he first started, people on the bodybuilding forums found him and dubbed him Reviewbrah, thus turning him into a meme. However, as well as the pokes at the silliness of sincerely reviewing junk food in a suit, there was an unironic, genuine appreciation of him, and they welcomed him into the community, as evidenced by him posting their.
Now take a look at the comment section of any of his videos. They are filled with redditors repeating the exact same faux-sincere praises of him being "wholesome", or a "god", etc. These are people recognising a sincere person, and trying to engage with him sincerely, but unable to without the ironic undercurrents, lest they feel ostracised from their fellow ironic "memers" who cannot fathom simply enjoying or praising something sincerely for its own sake, and not for the sake of appearing virtuous for social credit.
This is far worse than the pure irony which came before, which masked an underlying sincerity. Now, the "sincerity" masks an irony, with the true sincerity underneath lost.

>DID SOMEBODY MENTION PHILOSOPHY?? I HAVE TO MENTION DIOGENES, THE INCONSEQUENTIAL MAN TURNED REDDIT TRIVIA! I LITERALLY DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ELSE ABOUT PHILOSOPHY, BUT IF I HEAR THE WORD I HAVE TO MENTION LE BASED DOGENES! THATS RIGHT, DOGENES!!

Well, I speak modern Greek and know a little Latin.
Ἀναξίμανδρος and Anaximander are identical besides the male suffix 'der' as opposed to the female suffix 'dra', as in Αλέξανδρος, which becomes Alexander and Alexandra.
ύδρο is identical to hydro. Hydrophobia is a combination of hydro and the suffix phobia, which is identical to φοβία which is from φόβος. So the etymology is literally just combining the words water and fear, hydophobia literally just says "waterfear".
Hydraulics gets the suffix 'lic' from the protogermanic līkaz, which means "having the body of". So hydraulics literally means "has the body of water".
γή means Earth in Greek and its combining form is γέω and γράφω means I write which became graphia in Latin, and graphie in French, so geography means "writing of the earth" or "writing about the Earth".
χρώμα means colour in Greek, and the suffix -ic comes from the Greek -ικος, which became the Latin -icus, which became the French -ique, which became the Middle English -ik. The original Greek suffix -κος means "characteristic of". The Greek prefix α in this use means 'not'. So 'achromatic' literally means "not characteristic of colour".
So you see, if you find a word you want to turn into English, you can transliterate it, add prefixes and suffixes to it, etc. As long as you can explain the reasoning behind it and stay consitent with established rules, you can pretty much do whatever you want.
If you give me a Greek word that's not already romanised, I can do an example

Women only read when either:
a) It will improve their perceived social-status. Which is why they stick to low-effort horeshit like ya.
or
b) When it makes their pussy tingle (see 50 shades of grey; alternatively, the entire "romance" genre).

Do you think that cretinous cunt has ever read more than fifteen pages of a book of her own accord?
I don't give a fuck what her "favourite books" are in the same way that I don't give a fuck what a lobotomy patient's "favourite books" are
