This guy began learning greek at the age of fucking THREE
>>25038406reality is easily changable, just go back in time and teach yourself it at 3
>>25038406I realize it's not the same thing, but I was able to read at age three. When I was a little kid, mom would hold a children's book and read to me, and then I would precociously take the book out of her hands, as if to say, "No no, you don't read this book to me. I read this book to YOU." And then I would do it. They made sound recordings.
>>25038406I once heard of an entire race of people who started learning Greek even younger.
>>25038406And where did that get him? Awful philosopher.
>>25038406And what did he come up with? More shitty liberalism and Feminism. If anything he should be a warning case.>>25038543Exactly
>>25038551I was about to say the same thing but didn't want to look stupid. proof learning Greek early turns you into a white knight cuck.
>>25038543I used to think so too, but he's grown on me. Besides, his feminism is virtually nothing like modern feminism. There's nothing innately wrong with liberalism unless you are a commie with serious grievences and frustrations.
>>25038611You mean aside from it being entirely based on false ethics that have led to the complete destruction of society and the environment?
>>25038406>chad was forced to learn Latin as his native language.
>>25038406People in Greece begin learning Greek at the age of fucking ZERO.
>>25038419Least pompous cringe /lit/oid
>>25038738they gotta figure out how to slurp Greek dong at five
>>25038741I beat him by one year. I learned at 2. I'm also autistic.
>>25038406and the greeks began learning greek since they where born, the hell are you about?
>>25038768I was writing at 3. Also autistic as fuck.
>>25038406It's not impressive if his parents spoke Greek. It's also not impressive if this is another one of those apocryphal tales that soibois come up with for their favorite middling thinkers.
>>25038738What were the greeks told to start with?
>>25039487Start with the Mycenaeans.
>>25038406It’s bc his dad was an autistic utilitarian that thought he could just program his kid to be a great philosopher. He wasn’t totally wrong but J.S Mill isn’t as impressive as other thinkers that just have that ineffable quality of genius
>>25038406You will be shocked to find out about the age at which Greek people start learning Greek.
>My father died when I was about seven years old, and left me to the care of four guardians. I was sent to various schools, great and small; and was very early distinguished for my classical attainments, especially for my knowledge of Greek. At thirteen I wrote Greek with ease; and at fifteen my command of that language was so great that I not only composed Greek verses in lyric metres, but could converse in Greek fluently and without embarrassment—an accomplishment which I have not since met with in any scholar of my times, and which in my case was owing to the practice of daily reading off the newspapers into the best Greek I could furnish extempore; for the necessity of ransacking my memory and invention for all sorts and combinations of periphrastic expressions as equivalents for modern ideas, images, relations of things, &c., gave me a compass of diction which would never have been called out by a dull translation of moral essays, &c. “That boy,” said one of my masters, pointing the attention of a stranger to me, “that boy could harangue an Athenian mob better than you and I could address an English one.”
>>25038406at three I was learning skibidi
I wish I had parents that valued intellectual pursuits. I can only imagine what I would have become. My father only valued the television and my mother had a strange midlife crisis that just made everyone miserable.
