That's the ancient knowledge. But it's ancient, so you don't get it and you think it's stupid. Filtered.

thats what the word symposium means btw

Plato is reddit. People read Plato who want to feel good and larp WOW I FUCKING LOVE PHILOSOPHY. It's all delusional pipe dreams and his republic is beyond retarded.

But Aristotle is 4chan, the cold hard truth and he has been making everyone seethe for 2000 years because they can't disprove him.

His earlier work was a little too gay for my tastes, but when Republic came out in 375 BC, he really came into his own, both as a philosopher and an artist.

If that is your understanding of Symposium then I'm sorry but your brain isn't meant for actual philosophy. Read some 12 Rules for Life or something closer to your cognitive ability

Philosophy is mercurial deception, and Greek philosophy comes from proto Jewish cults. Highly recommend you read Mark Brahmin.

Posting this shows you've obviously not read much about them BC. because if you did, you'd notice the continuity of their behaviour is remarkably consistent.
