And they are corrupted by the very act of questioning itself…

…both the questioner and the person being questioned.  You understand.

[Brand New Ancient:] The Myth of the Left Wing Odyssey.

Original title: "Did Emily Wilson Rewrite The Odyssey?"

LINK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e665ldFOOBU

The question being asked here is not whether or not it would even be hypothetically possible to make Homer "left wing" through a mere act of translation… the question is, instead, whether or not Emily Wilson has already done it.

And, yes, if I get married to Emily Wilson, I will be bound (as a matter of duty and honor) to get all of those same tattoos inscribed upon myself (for reasons I have recently explained in an entirely earnest comedy video). Inevitably, of course, her marriage to Marco Roth ended in divorce, precisely because they didnt' share the same tattoos.

And yes, BTW, I am indeed insinuating that the perception of her translation as "left wing" is entirely a shadow cast by the prejudice against her appearance —most certainly including her tattoos. Not that I can see anything left wing about her particular taste in tattoos: we are living on a planet on which Mike Tyson has portraits of both Mao Zedong and Che Guevara permanently etched upon his body. Frankly, he would have been better off getting married to Emily Wilson.

The philosophy of the plastic bucket.

Having a philosophy is an admission of your own subjectivity, etc.

Literature without philosophy, philosophy without literature, etc.
