This is why the most disgusting personalities are drawn to it.

You'll realize that most of the shit you read is just men trying to justify their feeling of superiority, while contributing nothing to actually substantiate that. I would rather take the opinion of the sculptor who helped Farnese Herculese than some old fucking loser philosopher who conned society into thinking they've produced something greater.

I think that there are nuances within this metaphor which help explain the different forms of wisdom and knowledge he talks about throughout the book.

Not only that, but the obstacles in the way of the absolute good are surprisingly esoterically correct.

Plato shows at one time a knowledge of both the evil and sublime areas of human existence.
