You don’t even need to go back to Ancient Greece. Lazy journalists were kicking this old can, but about Generation X, during the ‘90s.

- the-dude 9y agoThe point about the quote going back to the ancient Greeks is to show it is an eternal argument. Except the quote does not originate from the ancient Greeks that is.
- nihonde 9y agoIsn’t it true that when something happened long ago, it doesn’t follow that it happened continuously since, even if it happened recently as well? I read a lot of Plato in school, and even learned to read in Ancient Greek. It’s often funnier in Greek than in most translations.
- the-dude 9y agoI have done Ancient Greek as well, but never enjoyed it and was bad at it. It is true it does not follow. What the quote implies it is a very old issue.
