See what others are saying about Latin dictionary Software!| I neurotransmit, therefore I am....in Latin | | Descartes said "I think, therefore I am." (Cogito ergo sum) I would like to sum up my materialist worldview with a correct Latin translation of "I neurotransmit,therefore I am." I believe this would be "Neurotransmitto ergo sum." (neuro is a Greek root, but transmit is a Latin root...that's good enough). I would also like a translation that doesn't refer to I or the self for neurotransmission, that materialistic neurotransmission occurs...therefore I am...conveying that the chemical process creates the thought of self. This would be something like "neurotransmittum ergo sum". I don't know enough about Latin to be sure of my use of an online Latin dictionary. | |

I am wondering about the use of the word 'deconvert' in some threads. I interprete that it is used for someone, who has changed from a religious person to become an atheist.
To my understanding, a convert is a person changing from one belief into another belief, it comes from the latin word 'conversio'. Someone, who has been brought up into her/his first religion, is no convert. I found 'conversio' in my latin dictionary, but no 'deconversio'. 'Deconversio' would literally mean to go back from a second religion to a first, undoing a previous conversion.
Someone leaving a first religion behind in favour of none could maybe called 'devert', which is not mispelled divert, but comes from 'devertor', or 'avert' from 'aversio'.Also I dislike the word 'infidel'. Fidelis in latin means being faithfull and reliable, this is by consent to an object, it is a positive trait of high ethical value. If one promises a certain behaviour to a person, it is an ethical obligation to be fidel and stick to it. Fidelitas can only be established by consent. Without consent at any given moment, there cannot be fidelity or infidelity.
Therefore... | |
