Academia and science are basically just asking a lot of questions, finding maybe one answer once, thinking that you know nothing compared to everyone else while everyone else thinks they know nothing either, and citing your goddamn sources.

a song called ‘disco inferno’ just came up on my dash and i automatically registered it as “i learn by means of hell” before i realised the title was actually english and not latin

“I learn by means of hell,” forthcoming rap album from Doctor Faustus

When we figured out that’s what Disco Inferno meant (we translated it as “I learn through suffering”), it became the motto of our Latin class at college, and the unofficial motto of my undergrad.

The only way to learn is by hell
