Socrates's wife must've cheated on him because his son Plato looks nothing like him LOL

Why is it so absolutely impossible to place one above the other?

They're all great, I love them so much.

>>15839428
the original soiboy beard, i mean look at their facial expression is like their on their knees waiting for the cumshoot

>>15839446
Come on now, Socrates was just a fascist rabble rouser, whereas Plato and Aristotle were actually influential thinkers.

>>15839446
Aristotle BTFO’d those other pseuds.

>>15839436
I'm pretty sure Socrates fathered his children when he was like 65 so they probably came out Down Syndrome speds.

do you guys ever think about how if we could go back to ancient greece we'd probably be disgusted by how down-syndromey & inbred everyone looks

>>15839458
The Republic is generally considered to be more Plato than Socrates. The pure Socrates dialogues are the early ones (Apology, Euthyphro).

>>15839603
The thing is these men were like 140 cm tall, so socrates quotes about working out would just make him look like a nerdy beta in our eyes

>>15839576
Aristotle is the most influential thinker ever, creating a road on which philosophy will walk for the next 2500 years. He rightly deserves his nickname - The Philosopher.
That said, he was wrong about almost everything he said.

>>15839608
In Caesar's Gallic Wars, he mentioned that the Germans would taunt the Romans for their short height by calling them "dwarves" and such.

>rabble rouser
>teaches many students
>leads to the creation of at least four independent schools of thought each vying as the "true spiritual inheritor" of him
Yes he was just an unsuccessful Spartacus wasn't he.

>>15839576
Anon, there wouldn't be an Aristotle without Plato, nor either without Socrates. The ideas and beliefs of all three of them have remain great no by their effect, but by their very existence. For there could be no effect if they were not great in themselves.

I cannot imagine the sublime beauty of his face, his features, as in all geniuses the "great men"; and furthermore as derivative of the face of modest wisdom, the stayed conduct of his form.

I love him so much, I have tears in my eyes.

>>15839428
Yes.

>>15840237
This would be scary as fuck if it were real.

>>15840245
Plato over there lookin' like a soiboy.

>>15839598
Aristotle reflects on this, how such a genius had such retarded kids.

>>15840245
It is a real program.

Ohnonononono.

the fact we're in this fucking mess is exactly because our society failed to do this.

>>15840543
Sounds like boomershit, but you're entirely right. Every single image I am unfortunate enough to see from Twitter sounds like it was written by one of the shitty kids from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

>>15840558
Wouldn't it be the opposite of boomerism?

>>15839458
And by fascist you mean communist

>>15840570
He means both. Actual NazBol society. Plato is proof NazBol is more than just a meme. At the very most, it would be considered closer to the Juche or Ceausescu brand of Communism in the Eastern Bloc.

>>15840558
>Sounds like boomershit
Actually, that's just the thing. The generation before the boomers failed to treat the baby boomers as people and more like the next step of human evolution, and as a result boomers ended up the way they were. Baby Boomers not knowing better had kids of their own and you know the rest.

Elaborate on that

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NOT THE HECKIN REPUBLIC!!! NOT THE VIRTURINOS, NOT THE POOR IDEAS!!! IF YOU DISAGREE WITH ME YOU'RE A CAVEMAN REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Train up a child in the way he should go; and when he is old he will not depart from it. (Proverbs XXII:6)

>>15840562
I was just thinking about how boomers often say Gen X didn't raise Milennials right, but you're right. I think I oversimplified.
>>15840630
I wonder how milennial politics will change in the next few years. Whenever I look into "dark-ish" sixties history like Altamont or the Manson murders, I can't help but notice how surprisingly similar young Boomers are to us.

>>15840570
>>15840587
Lmao anyone who unironically applies these cringe modern definitions to Plato are retards; spiritually the only modern comparison would be Fascism anyway.

>>15840714
>I was just thinking about how boomers often say Gen X didn't raise Milennials right, but you're right. I think I oversimplified.
Don't worry, forgiveness is about in the world friend. And we will raise the next generation right, by it.

why not basedcrates?

>>15840680
NO, THRASYMACHUS! VIRTUE ISN'T JUST IMPOSED BY BRUTE STRENGTH! THAT'S MEEEAN!!

>>15840733
The city as described is extremely similar to North Korea and the Eastern Bloc. This is undeniable.

>>15840665
He was pretty much spot on with logic, but many other things were either scientifically or philosophically disproven. Some of his biology (like the differences between men and women), the way that gravity works, "heavenly spheres"... You can probably find a big list online (hopefully with some sources, I can't remember exactly where he said each of these things).

>>15841115
It has a market economy though

>>15839428
Pretty much. If a dog can do it you surely could as well (we both know you'll die childless).

Funny how they get more handsome from left to right

It's quite literally a falsity.

>>15841127
He criticizes free trade in it and also says the guardians have no private property.

>>15841127
Also it says wars only happen for economic reasons/ resources which is much more of a dialectical materialist concept than a right wing one.
