Alright Dalla, I will bite. Who/what/Why is Cicero? I googled it and it shows up as a philosopher who was involved in politics and was a cunning linguist. Why do you keep saying his name? Did you get one of those "Word of the Day" calendars or perhaps you are receiving an email from the website you pay $19.95 a month to "appear smarter than you really are". Please provide some clarification.

yes, we're uneducated because we discard irrelevant information learned in our teens in order to pass memorize-then-purge-the-information classroom tests and fill the void with relevant information that is useful and important to daily living

if you wanna slam a majority of americans for being uneducated, do it because most couldn't fill out a blank map of our 50 states. Do it because basic financial concepts (loans, stocks, etc.) completely baffle people. Do it because, despite living in this country, most don't have any idea how our government is setup. Do it because most don't even come close to having a basic grasp of physics.

But don't do it because we don't care about retaining irrelevant information like who Cicero is. Life isn't a jeopardy episode.

(you may have been giving verno a hard time, I'm more or less just speaking generally here though)

I mean, there are some very basic names in history which even if you can't say much about, at least you should be able to have some rough idea who they were
Alexander the Great, Aristotle , Shakespeare, even ****ing Hitler. Pretty sure Cicero is on this list somewhere imo
I mean I know it sounds weird to you but the world did not actually start at 1776

[reaper6788]

I don't have a basic grasp of physics and I am very well educated. I would definitely be able to do all the math involved.

My science was Bio. Dissection ftw! Best one I did was a cat in my Anatomy and Physiology class in high school. A small shark in college was pretty cool too.

also, If verno didn't know who the ancient cicero was then lol. But I'm almost positive he did and was just like "nah there has to be some 2p2 legend about a poster named cicero that did some crazy ****. We can't be talking about that lame Roman dude." At least that's what I thought when I saw it on here.

why should we have some rough idea who they were? What purpose does that serve? Does that add value to my life, or anyone's for that matter? (Outside of philosophy majors)
