Cities are a later invention. Towns have existed long before cities.
People have to be in a city now because that's where jobs are and where the dating market exists
But the human wants to live at town scale.
The best urban neighborhoods feel like a town inside the city. The worst places in the city feel the least like towns. That's why good urban neighborhoods are so expensive to live in. You're paying for a town.
Doğru değil. Zeus karakteristik olarak bir Hint-Avrupa sözcüğü, ses değişimleri ve semantik evrim stabil; Pre-Greek uzmanı Beekes de bunu söylüyor. Apollon büyük ihtimalle Pre-Greek, Hera tartışmalı. Aynı zamanda mitolojide “çalıntı” diye bir şey olmaz
şu olay _türko heuristics_'i açıklıyor: rezil bir şey yap, sonra derin bir sebep uydur. "bilimsel olarak"... "bir hayata bakış şekli olarak"...
günün sonunda evini yaparken bile işten kaçan, low-effort, narsist bir manyaksın.
I am struck, and pleasantly amused, by the flawless, highly ornate Arabic prose of this late 19th-century Cambridge Persianist, who was evidently an accomplished Arabist as well.
Incidentally, this is one reason I find Edward Said’s Orientalism overly dismissive and uncharitable toward Western scholars. Men like Browne devoted an extraordinary effort to mastering a difficult language and culture, and that kind of devotion is hard to see as anything other than a labor of love, especially when his Arabic is so poetic and refined. (I must admit, I am envious!)
Ironically, Arabists like Browne likely possessed a far more advanced command of Arabic than Said ever did.
