you want to tell, that your read republic for what? Fun?

>> No.18633203

>>18633160
Yes. The first book was engaging and fun, the start of book 2 was also very fun and engaging to read, then it got boring as socrates discussed all the minute details of his city.

This is also a sales technique

This is all about making young gay men and boys supple, pacified, and horny.

Interesting concept. But how does the yes ladder in republic make young boys horny.

this is precisely the job the PUA has to do
see http://www.pickupguide.com/ for example
this is just one technique or "pattern" out of many
these bits of technology are even called routines, as in a con or confidence job

I bet you guys think that his elaboration on seeing through the myth society us built upon as just some quirky thing those pederast greeks told each other, and not that you have to see through the prevailing myth of today if you are to be a true philosopher.

I'm just joking. But I do have a serious question, is republic supposedly Plato's word projected or socrates actual word?
