What you're saying is more or less true, but you're saying it on a website full of people who have been taught that "the greekz have ancient wizdom mane!!!" since they were children, and who've had that belief reinfocred by other people (this includes the retarded philosophers, dead or alive, who praise these ancient idiots for the same reasons) who have bought into the same bullshit. It's very important for people who have wasted their time - even paid large amounts of money and gone into debt in some cases - on this absolute bullshit. Plato and other ancient philosophers are interesting as historical figures, and because they give us some insight into how people back then thought. Many people on /lit/ who don't know how to engage with philosophy or historical texts end up believing stuff like "Plato was right", "Plato was btfo/proven right by X philosopher or event", "Forms literally exist", "Greek men with cool looking marble busts were the smartest people in history" and such retarded nonsense.
