# On Romans And Latinosphere In General

Although I respect the Roman republic, I think the Roman empire is
quite degenerate.

But somehow I like the Byzantine empire. Maybe because of its Greek
nature. But more importantly, for me ancient Romans were too down
to earth. But Byzantines don't feel like that because of the Orthodox
church and its theology which greatly emphasizes intuition and
miracles.

Maybe Latinosphere in general concerns too much about logic and
rationality. But in a different way than ancient Greece. There is
a public image of Anglosphere being like that. But Latinosphere is
way more like that than Anglosphere (Anglosphere is just more
mercenary). It's the culture of Thomas Aquinas and Rene Descartes
after all.

Maybe it's just a characteristic of French. But the Catholic church
and ancient Romans in general are also like that with slightly
different atmospheres. It's not a problem of Earth vs Sea. I don't
feel that from Slavosphere.

Because of that, in case of language, I personally prefer Greek
rather than Latin. I genuinely think that if one would study only
one of those, it should be Greek. Latin is overrated.
