    The Greeks weren’t gay, they just hated women.

      The Greeks invented sex,

      but the Romans introduced it to women.

      Even as early as the greeks they realized what 4chan knows now.

      Men make better women than women.

      Lol.

    I’ll never understand spending this much time on a comic and not bothering to proofread it.

      Came here to ask that. Nice catch, nice caring.

    Man, every time one of the comics from this creator gets posted, I have to fight the urge to edit it down. They’re good, just overly verbose.

    Like this one only needs Panel 1, 3, 5, and the last one for the same message/punchline. Could probably trim further by somehow combining 3 and 5.

    I don’t get it. Did Socrates discuss gender identity in his works?

    • june@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I don’t get why you think this is about gender identity. But, fighting for truth is fighting for trans rights.

      He just molested teenage boys like most greek philosophers, this comic misses the mark

      It’s about how the Greeks were super gay. Lots’a gay sex. Hell, the word *“Lesbian”" is derived from the Greek island of Lesbos.

    Socrates was undoubtedly a great thinker and hugely impactful, but the Greeks did not invent science. The scientific method was not explicitly formulated until Ibn al-Haytham published The Book of Optics in 1027 CE, and I’d argue that in the absence of the scientific method, most of the Greek philosophers were basically just arguing in an attempt to sway the audience as opposed to experimenting to find “truth.”. The Greeks were one of the first groups to emphasize empiricism, but that a very different thing.

    Saying that all of Western thought is based on a single Greek philosopher minimizes the contributions of anyone outside that tradition and I think we can do better than that.

      It’s a joke, it’s not meant to be serious philosophical commentary.

      That said, I find your comment a bit funny because Socrates’ dialectical method was largely a result of his objection to sophistry. Note that he rarely makes a statement himself, merely challenges those who use oratory techniques to support their claims to know the truth

    Xanthippe was likely 40 years his junior… His… second wife.
