Yes I often think about Athens, well Athenian men mostly. How they had these battles of wit. Long and hard battles of wit. Almost naked battles of wit. Man against man. Yes I think of that time sometimes.

(I'm heterosexual BTW)

Real talk, and admittedly this is a tangent, but does anyone else think it's weird as hell that for most of us we don't know what literally like 10% of bodies of our absolute closest relationships look like, unless we're sleeping with them?

Shame is weird as hell to me, and the fact that we feel like we have to hide our natural state of being from the people we otherwise implicitly love and trust wholeheartedly will always make me kind of sad.

Or, in other words, more public nudity please.

The job interviews would certainly be more entertaining.

But I see your point. I'm afraid you were born 2500 years too late.

Or 50 years to early? Look global warming, increasing prices, overcrowding, decreasing resources or a looming nuclear world war 3 might just be the case to revert back to ancient times! Just hold on a couple of years, we'll get there don't you worry about a thing honey!

Oi! Anaximenes, you claim you are smart enough to fill this position of Software engineer, and yet your phallus has the size and the stench of a donkey's! You must be a brute, unfit for this job.

Epiphanes! Do not lecture me about my phallus, when your testicles look like undeveloped figs and you have a woman's chin. I will beat you with this keyboard.

I see. You can start Monday.
