This website is that which nothing worse can be conceived.
City: Nowhere
Kant October 21, 2019
all morality is judged based on whether the intent is pure. it does not matter how good something appears to be if it has a personal good behind it. Mr Hinrichs seems to have much to gain from being a nice guy and having good classes, therefore, he is evil.
City: DEUTSCHLAND
Dante September 26, 2019
After careful consideration, I have finally come to the realization that this website is a sign from God that there should be an eighth ring of hell for professors and teachers who indulge themselves in the study of nonsense.
City: Nowhere
Achilles September 18, 2019
Sup everyone, I was bored 'cause I have nothing to do while I wait for my friend's cool black ships to catch on fire, so I decided to look at this for a bit.
Man, reading a book about my pathetic future is quite interesting. And what is the deal with me dying from an ankle wound—I mean seriously—my ankle? Thats the best you can come up with Homer?
And Ajax, I'm totally chill with the whole killing-yourself-over-my-armor kind of thing, that's totally your choice man; but dude, couldn't you at least have said hi to Odysseus in the underworld? I mean like we spent like twenty years together fighting for a woman that would kiss a minotaur for a position as queen. (on second thought that was pretty accurate)
Speaking of Odysseus...dude...you really need to learn to pick the right crew 'cause this is just not right...I feel for you man..I feel for you...Oh and by the way, whenever you feel like getting back home, could you say hi to Penelope for me?

C. S. Lewis May 14, 2019
This site is a source of objective truth. In my book "The Abolition of Man", I go into great depth on the clarity and background assumptions of education. In order to educate effectively, one needs to understand the objectivity of truth and the value of past wisdom. As this is completely irrelevant to a post-truth culture, I highly recommend the classes advertised on this site in order to bring back the relevance of truth.

Socrates, v.2019 March 19, 2019
Any way into the soul is guarded by the senses. As the internet is a medium that is accepted by the senses, anything on any web page may influence the soul. The current philosophy requires that one constantly influence the soul with a bombardment of useless facts and "random emotional stimuli"(1), keeping 'truth' and thought in a constant state of flux. If one wishes to influence the soul according to my philosophy, one will ditch all of the other websites and only look at this one until Meletus comes and condemns one to death by poison.
City: An apartment in Athens
Don Quixote March 7, 2019
AH!! I must defeat this magical vortex that sucks in the soul under the disguise of philosophy!!

Tiberius February 27, 2019
I was voted thanks for not having Agrippina strangled and thrown on the Gemonian Steps. The Senate has the wonderful tendency to love me no matter what I do.

Robert Frost February 26, 2019
~ How Perfectly To Describe ETS ~

"Knowledge and technology create a student's maze,
A flood of literature and arts for many eyes to gaze,
Formatting and fonts forming schedules set in stone,
Filled to the brim with Knowledge to be known,"

"The love for wisdom hanging about in the air,
Pressing limits beyond what students can bare.
Both writing and reading lasting through the year,
Conquering life through all the trials and ear,"

"The dear and loving teacher prodding the students along,
Through Euclid's Geometry, Shakespeare, and song,
The turmoil and hardships of writing with the pen,
The Great paths of learning, this is where they begin."
~ Robert Frost
City: Lawrence, Massachusetts
Tacitus February 25, 2019
As the only unbiased Roman historian, I can tell you without a doubt that Germanicus would enjoy your teaching, but Tiberius would resent the goodness and lack of prosecution.
City: Rome
William Shakespeare February 25, 2019
Site On The Web
- by William Shakespeare

(opening scene of Sir William and Lady Juliet arriving at an open laptop computer)

Lady Juliet:
"All the classes of this page,
and the costs of them,
merely expensive."

Sir William:
"The purest book in the reading list is not so free of gore"

Lady Juliet:
"Thou pitiful articles maketh me fall to within the sweetest embrace of sleep"

Sir William:
"I agree—but Alas! That all good comments must come to such an end!"

Sir William:
"Good night, good night, Fritz Hinrichs of Escondido!
Our parting is such sweet joy!"

(ending scene of Sir William and Lady Juliet walking away from the computer)
City: Hamlet
Aristotle February 1, 2019
That this website is a worthy curriculum for youths I would wish to prove by writing several volumes on the subject of approximately 200 pages each; however, the word limit of this dissertation prevents myself from doing so. For this reason, it can be shown that the desired essay must contain itself to a shorter length. I have but one point of contention: that Plato\'s and Socrates\' views concerning certain subjects are false and therefore must be removed. Students must be provided with the most accurate and logical subjects and thoughts to contemplate; how might they do so if they are fed with lies? It is a truth to assert that Plato and Socrates were wise men, yet it is absurd to consider their errors to be part of a worthy education. For this reason, it is apparent that their works must be removed so as to offer a growing mind the most delicious of sustenance: namely, all 14 volumes of \'The Basic Works of Aristotle.\'

Blaise Pascal December 16, 2018
Mr. Hinrichs' Great Books Course is fantastic, if you don't mind considerable pressure. My colleague Descartes finds the website rather plane, even if the colors do coordinate quite well. But other than that, hearty recommendations from us both.
City: France
Virgil December 13, 2018
This website is the only thing that helps me stay sane in limbo.
City: First Circle of Hell
Socrates December 12, 2018
I notice that you have allowed such harmful music at those pieces which are in the Ionian an Aeolian modes on this website. Please realize that you are responsible for the improper forming of your students' souls. I strongly advise you to remove the harmful music and replace it with music that will improve the soul and strengthen the mind.
City: Athens
Descartes December 8, 2018
The creator of this website must be able to think in order to write these wonderful informational articles. Therefore I must assume that he exists. I must congratulate you on your fine writing as well as your existence, sir.

Homer November 28, 2018
I resent that you have allowed Socrates and Plato to post degrading messages about my work on this website. My epic poetry far outshines their miserable dialogues, and they would do well to remember it!

City: Central City
Socrates November 27, 2018
With all the shut downs and reworks I know for a fact that this website is will change, therefore it is not an eternal truth. Get off this website and do some geometry!
City: Athens
Virgil November 27, 2018
Fan fiction is the highest form of art. To make the best of fan fiction, one needs three things. First, one needs to find a well-known and wealthy sponsor to fund the work, who can be lauded frequently and at great length during the plot. Second, one must be able to imitate the original so closely that readers drool just looking at it. This insures sales. Third, one has to gather a professional group of lawyer/priests to defend the work from the Furies and the Ghost of Homer on charges of plagiarism. Original works are nothing in comparison, making the copy better than the original. It is small consolation to me that you teach my work amid a sea of... *spits* philosophy. Excuse me.... I just received a text from my friends who wrote the StarWars novels....... *walks away*

Plato November 14, 2018
My dialogs are far more superior compared to this pitiful thing. There is no Geometry or Music! How can one survive without them?!
City: Athens
Socrates November 14, 2018
You have certainly made an attempt, but this curriculum is not nearly balanced enough. For one, you can throw out the Homer and other such lying poets. For another, where is the gymnastics? Your students shall all become soft and effeminate.
