>the world of forms
Taken literally, which is how Plato took it, it is a retarded theory. Gnosticism is retarded too and hasn't contributed anything to society like science has. Of course you define science as the product of Aristotle. Aristotle is the greatest of all time and the father of everything useful.

Plato isn't terrible, don't get me wrong. The theory of forms as a metaphor, and not taken literally can be useful. Plato's all-is-one, the ultimate form the encompasses everything is true in Aristotle's philosophy to a certain extent too.

>it increases because in order to buy the labor and skills necessary to refine the diamond, one must pay higher wages to the worker than say, a wood cutter
Holy shit, it's almost like you're paying those workers in relation to the amount of labor/skill required to refine the good into something. That's a crazy observation, anon. It's almost like the labor ITSELF is appreciating the goods value!

How can you be this retarded? You literally just said "wrong, it's not more valuable because of the labor put into it, it's more valuable because you have to pay for the labor put into it"

I have ~110 IQ. I'm smart enough to have an awareness of ideas but I cannot eloquently grasp or articulate them. What hope is there for me? What books should I read?

I don't like reading books out loud - they just sound weird - no one talks like that. I get that books are supposed to sound weird, but why?
