Removing Plato or Socrates would fuck up the history of Western thought so completely that we cannot know whether any other names on those lists would be relevant without them

Without Socrates, we might not have Plato. Without Plato, we might not have the lasting influence of Socrates. Either way, nothing would be the same.

The only way to decide would be to flip a coin.

This is straight up retarded since you wouldn't have some of the people in their present state on either side with some of the ones on the other. The description does nothing to change that fact.

It'd be interesting to see the world without certain influences, although I feel in time that other humans would come to similar conclusions to these writers. But if I were put in this situation I'd probably have to take the bullet.

I want a third button

>> No.6888580

i'd push green button because of plato and rousseau
rousseau is the worst part of romanticism
plato led to nothing but trouble
without plato, socrates' influence would be minimal
all of the bad stuff that seemingly comes from nietzsche really comes from heidegger (20th century french philosophy)
who cares about stuff like harry potter and john green, that's like getting rid of nickelodeon

Here's the real trick. There's always the possibility Plato made Socrates up. Therefore if we delete Socrates there's always the chance Plato will invent him. Then there's the flip side where Socrates can just get some other nitwit to write down everything he said.
