Grave stele 1st century BC ending ‘Hail to you too’ χαῖρε καὶ σύ. (Chaire kai su) Compare Caesar to Brutus ‘kai su teknon’ now thought to mean ‘your turn will come son’ (rather than ‘et tu Brute’ as commonly understood)

“So there’s no vowel elision before words like εἴκοσι or ἄναξ?” “That’s right Joe. There’s a digamma there, beautiful letter, like a W, it stops that horrible elision, nasty business. Those awful Athenians, they can’t pronounce it, but Homer could, it affects the meter.”

This is a graph of the social acceptability of academic cheating (excitement for AI) vs. liberal democratic institutions (nervousness about AI)

but in general i think people should stop having hobbies and cancel their gym membership and use more caffeine and cold water and sleep less and maybe don't shower every day and instead should grind harder making things of value such as companies and children
