This man possessed the ability to eliminate ignorance and disseminate knowledge; may his principles be enshrined in the annals of human history for eternity.

Now I really need an episode on Diogenes of Synope.

the Allegory of the Cave serves as a powerful metaphor for the human condition, highlighting the importance of critical thinking, self-reflection, and the pursuit of knowledge to break free from the constraints of ignorance and perceive the world in its true form.

Wisdom comes with aging and the ability to shut up, listen and observe

[richewilson]

I was just thinking about it today about how everybody wants to be the big strong guy or smartest guy something of that nature but I guess I've always admired people that are the old wise characters in a story. Because they seem to know a lot more than what we think. Intelligence is different from wisdom, wisdom you have to gain through experience versus intelligence which is a set of rules and already existing information.

Well I didn't expect socretes was a perfect man on a petistal. He knew he was imperfect and people would have critcisms of how he thinks. The best parts that he teaches, I follow him. The bad parts I'd leave aside.

Plus he's a way better thinker than most people of today.

I know that i know nothing: Wisdom
The more you know the less you know
Wisdom and knowledge: humility and virtue.

[Kane-ibsn]

it is better to be just, than unjust, because, a society bent on justice, assumes two things; the individual takes responsibility first, and society takes responsibility, after the individual falters.
what this means with a micro-scope, is that our actions are never for the purpose of ourselves, alone. to do so, is unjust or unfair. but, to coordinate our actions in sync with society, is the most just-action possible.

I wonder if "changing ones mind" when faced by reasonable arguments was always viewed as "weakness" as it is today?

[timothyhenegar]

To ponder is to consider, to think is to process, to learn is to become enlightened. To become aware, is to become empowered.

That is the truth of metaphysics.

[Bill and Ted are in Ancient Greece]
Bill: [approaching Socrates] How's it going? I'm Bill, this is Ted. We're from the future.
Socrates: Socrates.
Ted: [whispering to Bill] Now what?
Bill: I dunno. Philosophize with him!
Ted: [clears his throat, to Socrates] "All we are is dust in the wind, " dude.
[Socrates gives them a blank stare]
Bill: [scoops up a pile of dust from the basin before them and lets it run out of his hand] Dust.
[he blows the remainder away]
Bill: Wind.
Ted: [points at Socrates] Dude.
Socrates: [Socrates gasps] Yes! "Like the sands of the hourglass, so are the Days of our Lives..."
