I would like to say in this post that I am sorry I offend people and catch people off guard sometimes with my perspective. It bothers people that I'm against psychology, and they don't like it when I rebut their psychological meditations on the dreams in the Hebrew Bible, which are very important to the plot of the Hebrew Bible, with statements from Greek sources outside of the Bible, such as the Homeric epics, Hesiod, or other famous poetic military books written by Attic Greeks. Where on Earth do I get the idea that I know so much about the Peloponnesian Wars? Did I read Archimedes, Plato, Aristotle and Marcus Arielis in the Demotic Greek alphabet?!? Can I JUST STOP talking about Greece in LOUSY ENGLISH and stick with only using the language in a special font when I quote later translations of the Bible?!?!?

It's not that I know so much Greek script and pronunciation, it's that I've read so many classics. I don't have them all memorized word for word, the same as another scribe on the bulletin board doesn't have the whole Bible memorized. In fact, it's not that I've read so many Greek books, it's that I practice a straight linear view of History and in the context of the Trojan War, I have an extremely strong preference for Greece over Persia. It's my nosey parochial racism rearing its ugly head, I'm some white person in the United States' lower 48, and even though I can see as clear as day that both Greeks and Arubs are swarthy red men, I just like those Greeks BETTER than I like those Persians! Also, I've donor my "white person" homework for German philosophy in the 20th century and done it dutifully after finishing the long writings of The Last Czarist Russian in the War of 1812 and I know what the connections are in terms of time, place, and ideological parallel between the anti-Greek Arabust Nitchie and his friend the contemporary German psychologist and fellow Arubist Sigmond Freud.

I don't major in psychology, I only read it because I do study twentieth century history. The founders of psychology, Freud and Jung, were Germanic (German and Swiss) and I have spent a very large amount of person library and home reading time perusing the original written sources. I don't have profession experience with the subfield of the medical profession, I only know what the famous psychologists wrote, and I can tell JUST by reading them that they look, words the Arub enemies of Greece during the time of the Siege of Troy for their ideas and inspiration. They then, after attacking Greece in their books, look to fob their blasphemy off on Biblical scholarship, simply because dreams occur in the Bible, where they are illustrated and described as having real truth, spiritual origins, and eternal import.

I definitely don't intend to insult people. A high school graduate whose public state school was exactly like mine (Angels and Ministers of Grace Defend Us, it's the common core!) would have read both Sophocles and George Orwell, the same as I did. Sophocles is important, first wrote drama, and took dreams just as seriously as a Hebrew scribe such as Daniel. I didn't mean to put anyone down. It's the fact that I have read the German modernist philosophers as well as the Greeks who they attack in their anti-philosophical anti philosophy Arub psychology with which they seek to replace Greek philosophy in spite of the Christian histories of their own cultures!

It wasn't supposed to be a religious insult. Most people believe that the Bible is true, most people read or at least very much mean to read the Greek History of the Trojan War, and absolutely no one is on the side of fascist Italy during World War Two. You aren't catholic! You read your own scholarly books and you did not spend money on that Wheelock's Grammar! Also, like me, you are too young to have voted for John Kennedy anyway, you don't remember his life and times because you were born after his death, and you aren't interested in Saint Ignatius, since he was a Spaniard! OHHHHHH, the English word ignition and that eternal flame in Arlington Virginia don't mean anything to you! Sheesh. I didn't mean to let my Cicero show. Oh please, tell me all about your Greek. As long as you're not an Arubist, alright? It's fine with me if you just aren't from Venise or very often seen in the city of Naples. I'm just some English-speaking white person myself.
