How the hell did he always win the philosophical arguments with banter?

>>	Anonymous Sat Jun 2 23:42:31 2018 No.11258060 >>11258036 because when you write about someone 400 years after they died you can dream up clever scenarios and dialogue

^This.
Also the idea of "winning" at philosophy is retarded, and that story was gimmicky trash.
A better approach would involve directly bringing up the issue of the definition being too general to apply only to humans and missing coverage of other important / distinctive human traits instead of smug "I caught you making a mistake and demonstrated it with this prop, aren't I so clever" bullshit.

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 3 05:20:32 2018 No.11259186 He will never be able to philosophically prove that someone’s father is a dog. And that’s why Plato is superior

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 3 05:25:51 2018 No.11259195 >>11259186 Plato can prove Keith is a dog?

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 3 05:27:06 2018 No.11259199 >>11259195 Yes

>>	Anonymous Sun Jun 3 06:20:22 2018 No.11259281 >>11258285 Ι agree, when I heard it it reminded me of those stories in which happenings occur in buses and everyone claps. Can you imagine if Diogenes was a female? We would have cries of ΓΕΛΟΣ ΓΕΛΟΣ ΓΕΛΟΣ ΒΑΣΙΛΙΣΣΑ ΑΠΕΚΤΕΙΝΟΟΟΟΟΟΟΝ
