Socrates was unemployed irl; why not in our time as well? Surely we can at least agree that Diogenes would never have a job in any time period, unless he took it with the intention of doing a terrible job at it.

He would make short work of 99% or more of people if he had been given time to contemplate beforehand.

Clowns on this board who like writing for writing's sake or reading for reading's sake, etc etc, seem to disagree with Plato but I never see any refutations.

You know literally nothing about the duties of an athenian citizen. He had to serve a military service and was an hoplite, wich means that he was at least middle class and the he thus had some kind of revenue meaning that he had possessions, such as lands or mines and was far more akin to a capitalist than anything else.

In other words, today he would be a landlord or he would own farms/sweatshops in the third world.

It depends, does he support all the positions he supported in Ancient Greece? If so, no, he would be filtered early on, probably before he could even manage to get a meager Bs degree.
