>in a DC bookstore, browsing philosophy

>college girl hovering around me for like 20 minutes before she finally strikes up a convo

>talk about Plato translation (I only ever worked with Grube & Reeve because I am a pleb who doesn't even know greek)

>she says she prefers bloom

>she says modern people who read Plato miss essential, hidden claims in the text

>call out her straussian signaling

>she gets excited and we talk about her straussian education

>invites me to a reading group for the Menexenus

>immediately stops mid sentence, looks at the ground, and fast-walks out of the bookstore before giving any contact info
