Reminder Plato proved the immortality and existence of the soul, no vulgar pleb such as yourself could understand it.

Because they haven't actually been debunked. On the contrary, they're the one who debunked everything.

This. Parmenides, Heraclitus, Anaximander, and Protagoras pretty much ended philosophy before it even began, and only over 2000 years after them did we realise the sheer magnitude of knowledge and insights these guys caught on.

Plato was a detraction of philosophy, not its pillar.
