>Read Plato's Parmenides and Sophist
Yeah I've read of his Parmenides and my understanding is young Socrates just gets rekt lol. I thought Parmenides criticizes the theory of the Forms in that work too tho. I'm assuming the Theory of the Forms still holds true through Neoplatonism surely. I dunno what the rebuttal of the Third Man argument is tho.

Can anyone explain through the autism if this is at all true? Surely there's a Platonic or eternal form of the Male or the Female? Like in Aristophanes speech in Symposium explaining how Zeus split everyone into halves (which ofc explained homosexuality).

What's the point of philosophy nowadays? Is there anything left to wonder about that hasn't been already discussed tirelessly?
