Is Cratylus really a satire mocking Plato's contemporaries or is he just a massive brainlet?

I cried when he spent the last 10 pages refuting the first 40 pages. This shit is why I had to stop reading Plato

That's why you need to read Plato. Do you only want to read stuff that makes you feel good, and comfortable, and secure? I love the fact that Plato fucks with you, making you buy into some elaborate conceptual scheme and then WOOOps it was wrong. It's frustrating, infuriating, but that's how you know you're alive, your blood's flowing, you aren't just vegetating. He pricks you to wake you up from your stupor. Keep pushing through, it's worth it.
