If you were ever interesting in learning Latin or Greek, here’s a bunch of resources

2018-01-26 04:05:18 UTC  

All public domain

2018-01-26 04:09:25 UTC  

If anyone wants help with Latin I can assist as well

2018-01-26 04:19:15 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada I’m a student of history but unfortunately have not had the luxury of going to a school with a good classics program. For simple biographies on Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar, what books would you recommend? I’ve been scared to buy one and it end up being revised by modern (((academia)))

2018-01-26 04:20:02 UTC  

Hmm

2018-01-26 04:20:29 UTC  

Only works on Caesar I've read were actually his own but

2018-01-26 04:21:40 UTC  

Plutarch

2018-01-26 04:21:53 UTC  

Wrote a biography of Alexander

2018-01-26 04:22:39 UTC  

Naturally it isn't (((modified))) since its two thousand years old

2018-01-26 04:23:17 UTC  

Of course the biographers of Rome didn't have the archeological resources we do, but they lived closer to the time of Alexander

2018-01-26 04:24:18 UTC  

Plutarch also wrote a biography on Caesar

2018-01-26 04:24:41 UTC  

Which is excellent because he lived right after Caesar

2018-01-26 04:25:04 UTC  

You can find and read both of these for free probably

2018-01-26 04:25:29 UTC  

So you won't lose any money if you don't like them

2018-01-26 04:26:49 UTC  

Don't worry about classics degrees. I didn't even finish my tbh. If it were up to me all young gentlemen would receive a classical education as they did for the past few hundred years

2018-01-26 04:27:57 UTC  

If I find copies tomorrow I'll put them in history

2018-01-26 04:47:57 UTC  

@StrawberryArmada Thanks for the info. I’ve become more of a modern Europeanist. Currently starting a 30-50 page essay on Pan-European nationalism

2018-01-26 13:34:19 UTC  

I would recommend Mosley but

2018-01-26 13:34:27 UTC  

You clearly already know him well

2018-01-26 20:02:57 UTC  

@Jacob I love giving Jared money

2018-01-26 20:11:38 UTC  

Same

2018-01-26 21:21:34 UTC  

I just started Hwite Identity and all I hear is Jared’s voice in my head

2018-01-26 21:36:01 UTC  

@DeusVolk Did you already finish Why We Fight?

2018-01-26 21:41:20 UTC  

Yes.

2018-01-26 21:42:36 UTC  

I had trouble pushing through the political dictionary parts though. Something about the endless definitions drains you as you push through. I actually think it’s a big flaw.

2018-01-26 21:45:24 UTC  

Lol loved both videos!!!🤣💕🤞

2018-01-26 21:48:16 UTC  

@SamanthaM I thoroughly enjoyed those.

2018-01-27 14:35:38 UTC  

I feel like this server doesn't have high enough traffic to justify the massive number of channels. It's kind of daunting. We could probably just have the Book of the Month club and like Fiction and Non-Fiction discussion and that's it tbh

2018-01-27 14:36:48 UTC  

i think a lot of the channels are just there to give book recs by category - not necessarily to have discussions

2018-01-27 17:17:39 UTC  

Yeah, the purpose of the multi channels is to categorize book recommendations.

2018-01-27 19:11:00 UTC  

@this_that5553 The category specific channels are supposed to be slow. They should be easy to scroll through. The idea is to *not* have thousands of messages to go through when you're just looking for a book recommendation.

2018-01-27 19:47:51 UTC  

What’s up with these?

2018-01-27 19:48:27 UTC  

Sorry, I just never know what are the channels that I should generally care about

2018-01-27 20:02:56 UTC  

The "book of the month" channel is redundant, fair enough

2018-01-27 20:03:26 UTC  

As for the other ones, just click on them and find out

2018-01-27 21:09:08 UTC  

@this_that5553 IE Reading List is a working progress. Book of the Month is for announcing the book of the month and any important information that might go with that. Resources are self defined. General is for voice chat. Discussion BOTM is for our discussions that happen weekly. General is general chat. Goodreads is a website that connects other readers and their literature. TIR stands for Today I Read. Post anything new you've read or learned. Vote BOTM is for voting in the book of the month.

To better organize this, I just might make a category for BOTM.

2018-01-27 21:59:05 UTC  

I’d appreciate the new category @CarletonJ that way if you’re participating you know what is relevant immediately

2018-01-27 21:59:58 UTC  

Sure. Thanks for the suggestion.
