Because he probably could. None of this faggoty limp-wristed weak professor stereotype back then. He probably spent more time training his body than most body builders today.

Proper "comeback" would be to engage the gentleman in conversation, not sit there silently like an autist. That's literally ALL PLATO IS: dialogs in which random people run up to Socrates and try to trip him up and Socrates politely and humbly engaging with them

He was literally the wrestling champion and was called "Platon" because he was broad-shouldered, wherein his real name was Aristocles.

Aristotle also experimented and tried for years different exercising and muscle building techniques, which eventually lead to him writing the treatise on the perfect body and how to attain it, too bad it was lost.

People forget the ancient Greeks were literally chad Ubermen.

Not entirely wrong and checked.
But plato, along with everyone that had ever considered themselves a philosopher, got obliterated by Kant. Specifically the part where he says (and I'm paraphrasing)
>like an idiot bird that thinks it would fly faster in a vacuum because there wouldn't be any air resistance, Plato thought he was thinking at a higher level because he thought without the friction from reality.
If enlightenment era epistemology were a slam dunk contest Kant was a 360, between the legs, double backflip dunk from the half court line by someone who wasn't very good at eye contact or social cues.

Kant is for rationalist retards who assign a priori axiomatic value to totally unjustified meme concepts like "rational self interest" etc.
