Plato had amazing ideas and wrote the Republic which I deem as one of the most historically significant books of all time. It influences me politically and a lot of others as well and could be argued as an influencer on a much bigger scale. I think you're overlooking what he did for humanity and politics as a whole.

My favourite out of all the pre socratics would have to be Anaximenes because of the empirical approach he gives to rarefaction and condensation of air. It really is one of the earliest and only examples of ancient philosophers incorporating actual scientific experiments into their philosophy. Although the atomists and Anaximander are close seconds with their abstract yet logically plausible ideas of the apeiron and atomism. Good job! Would love to collaborate in the future. I have yet to touch atomism but I would love outside ideas.
