Without a doubt, the polyglot patricians have a step up over the gluttonous monoglot gentry all else being equal. But why then should a reader ignore translations when the translations themselves can presumably have potentially even more literary value than the source text?

Nietzsche covered evolutionary psychology along with Strauß and his historical Jesus. Philistine philosophy, no discernible talent.

Attractive prose is much better than poetry

Herbert Simon has said that rationality is akin to efficiency, it is taking the shortest route to our goal. It is a part of the goal-ends hierarchy.
Thus, it is not our goal which is taken into consideration to be rational or not.

>“This is important to me, giving the book precedence,” writes the Los Angeles Times’ Carolyn Kellogg, encapsulating this school of thought. “The book is the original artifact; the movie is an interpretation. And a novel — a good novel, anyway — will have more depth and detail and ideas and resonances than all but the best movies can hope to contain.”
>That’s a perfectly valid way of looking at it. Here’s another: A film — a good film, anyway — will become a more fully immersive experience than all the best novels can hope to be, combining as it does the best of books (narrative and structure), visual art (cinematography), music (score), fashion (costumes), and theater (acting and dialogue).

grossier.

Piano is a good contender but despite its technical superiority it suffers from two glaring problems: firstly that it isn't an instrument that is particularly relevant to modern music, and secondly that it is not a particularly challenging instrument to play.

The guitar is by far one of the most difficult instruments to learn largely due to the nature of having to physically press and control the strings. In addition thanks to electric amplification and the nature of stringed instrumentation the guitar is the most versatile instrument in the world and is commonly both the lead and rhythm instrument, even the bass. Great players can do all this at the same time on the single instrument. Some players can even play and keep a beat going at the same time by slapping the guitar body and thus using it as a drum as well, but this should not be attempted by amateurs.
