if i have to translate plato ever again in my life i'm going to cry and then drop out of school
#a month in and i still don't understand shit#and every class period ehrman tries to make sure we understand#but what he doesn't understand no matter how many times we say it#is that the greek translating is fine#we can tell you what the words mean#but none of us understand what's being said#there's 3 of us in this class and all of us are struggling with the philosophy#what the actual fuck is socrates saying in this? i don't know. but i can tell you word for word what comes out of his mouth#i am not a philosophy person and ehrman doesn't understand why i don't understand#but like i can feel my brain melting#'Then each skill has been restored from under any one God both to work and to become knowledgeable? For if we were not to become good at st#we would be skilled at medicine.' what the fuck does that mean plato????? what does it meaaannnnn?
