Great thread, thank you.
So what? Educate yourself.

Education was a mistake.
t. sage
tfw they tried to talk me into AP Greek back in high school, but I thought it sounded too gay
oh well at least I took Latin, so I got the Roman half of the classical education
Could be worse op, i have a classic education and work a blue collar job.
My coworkers don't even know what latin is.
No one wants you to be perfect, anon.

This, I started teaching myself latin, it's great fun.
Due to my lack of Classical education, I don't feel compatible with this planet, although I feel I have my own structured idea of what the world should be and what my ideal world would be. I'm not depressed and suicidal, I'm more of an idealist who's starved of any sort of satisfaction, and indeed it's left me with a deep seated resentment and dissatisfaction with life. Most of the time I'm just bombarded with thoughts of how much I hate myself, because of how my thoughts have betrayed me, how they've misguided me into saying something regrettable. That's one way I really relate to the Greeks, is that I feel that my own thoughts betray me, in the foray of existence I'm forced, by any principles of living for the sake of living, to live through.

If you'd allow me to go on a little rant, I feel this way all the time, that's why I'm so interested in a classical education. In a sort of vague way, I feel so many parallels in my life to the life that Oedipus lives in the mythos of Sophokles, just without the fear of fucking my own mother. . I feel so depressed that I have to live among other humans, it seems to me like they're all empty minded simpletons whenever I look around, then I think about the superficiality and uselessness of all of the information that I'm able to process. I don't mean to sound conceited, even though I guess I am, I really believe that I don't know how to enjoy living in a world where I never fit in in the first place.
