Is Plato the biggest hack?

I'm an intellectual and well-versed in the history of Western Thought and Idea, and it feels like Whitehead's observation "all of western philosophy is a footnote to Plato" would be more accurately formulated as "all of western philosophy is a continuous BTFOing of Plato."

Plato is like the pseud who comes on /lit/ to samefag his own arguments and false flag his "opponents." By fortuitous happenstance Plato's writings survived in greater volume and quantity than other more insightful and coherent thinkers.

Now, Plato is essentially something for people who aren't intellectuals to read on the subway, and even Black folk have started to realize this. When are we going to collectively stop focusing our philosophical efforts on BTFOing the non-entity that is Plato and instead start spending our time and effort on more worthwhile endeavours?

I mean, I know you're right (atleast about the not taking on the sins of the father), but I feel a slight irk so to speak. Like maybe theres a piece missing from that answer or atleast more depth is required.
I believe that in terms of bequeathment, the rich son atleast owes the poor son the stolen car or something of equal value to the car in its original condition (right before it was stolen).
The problem is structured in such a way that you could posit the full value of the car is also the entire value of all of the rich father's accumulated earnings from his ill-gotten job. In a sense, If we logically connect the two to be one in the same as it is posed in the problem, the correct answer would be for the rich son to give virtually all his wealth to the poor son because it is the poor son's "true" inheritance.
Just like one may argue that it is unfair that the poor son gets no reparations, in this case it is eqaully unreasonable to assume that it is unfair for the rich son to have to give away all his money, since it is logically not his. He is not giving it away, he merely held it for its rightful owner.
I may also say that although pose your argument as a stirneresque approach, it is probably more ideological, as evidenced by the second half of your post where you talked about:
>That's nigger logic of asking white men for muh reparations. He may choose to do so simply because that's his moral compass, but it should never be a state law
If you include ideology into your arguments they become forfeit. You are no longer debating for an attempt to find truth, but merely for personal vanity.

I'm starting a discussion group where we disavow all Platonic influences and create a new philosophical movement. It will likely become one of the top 3 (conservative estimate) most important philosophical movements of the century, and you have a chance to be there at the inception. Leave an e-mail if you're interested. Happy to give more details.

How do I start getting in to philosophy?

What do the Greeks say about the meaning of life, suicide, and depression (or whatever equivalent condition there was back in the day, melancholia?)
