faulkner or hemingway?

Plato's critique annoys me like nothing else in philosophy. I've seen people two weeks into philosophy, just >starting with the greeks and who already are like "Plato? Theory of forms is dumb lel :D"

People can't even argue against it properly and overlook the fact that is anticipates 20th century psychological theories about collective unconscious or rather collective implication of shared understanding of things which naturally can't be popular in era which tells us most things can only be ethically judged within certain perception shaped by cultural factors etc. as if accepted (even only in shape of Jung's collective unconscious), big part of cultural relativism rhetoric would be rendered invalid.

Who would win in a fistfight, Faulkner or Chaucer?
