      Socrates' understanding of what is good and bad is also a good lesson, especially for the modern times. Nowadays, people think as though that everything is relative, the good is what is good for one, the bad is what is bad for another one ("one" refering to a person); what is good and bad isn't for us to decide.

Without understanding of his philosophy of earth. Us humans would have thrived in 1800’s. That was when humanity was at its lowest. So the answer is Plato. He brings peace amongst all.

The wall doesn't throw the ball the wall bounces it back. That being said I hope you aren't taking me calling him the wall as a detriment to him, I agree that what he is doing is Socratic in nature.

      That's because being a professor is a JOB. At first they have "a calling to teach", start out fresh, and passionate to teach. Over time and experience; including the politics of the society, and the schools administration, they become jaded, and tired. It becomes just a job.
      Occaisionally, a student comes along or an environment conducive to teaching that allows them to become excited to teach again. Unfortunately for many that never occurs though.
      That's why many teachers experience a burn out.

    I think what a lot of people miss about Socrates (even in his own day, both his followers and detractors) is that there's a difference between questioning for understanding and questioning for undermining. One leads to identifying and building a firm foundation while the other simply destroys foundations out of spite, malice, pride, or cynicism.
    If you ask a question, be ready for the answer and receive the answers objectively, patiently, skeptically, yet respectfully. If questioning becomes simply a sport of intellectually "owning" an opponent, nothing is being gained but destruction.

    I realized much later in my life that whenever I asked questions at my old job, they hated that. They had certain managerial systems set in place that I thought could have been changed or modified to better help everyone, yet they did not like that and I could even say they seemed somewhat threatened by my ideas. I was ostracized by the higher management team and was left confused by how they acted. I was always respectful and a good leader to my colleagues. Never understood that until I heard of Plato's apology, makes so much sense now. If I am wrong, I'm ok with that, let's work together to bring great ideas to improve our working environment.

      If you later choose to study psychology, those philosophers ideas will come up in Freud's, and Jung, & Erikson's works. Its helpful to remember that philosophies are opinions that eventually are fashioned into beliefs. They only hold deference as long as people agree with them. When people begin to base their lives on those belifes, it become a religion.

      You're actually right. A lot of historians refuse to use the phrase "dark ages" anymore. It's a bias started by a historian in the 1300s by the Tuscan scholar Petrarch. The enlightenment thinkers loved this story as well. But if you look at primary sources and pay attention to history you see it was actually just a gradual steady progression. There are other myths like that people in the medieval ages believed that the earth was flat. This simply isn't true. Most Christians in universities would have been able to tell you the earth was round and the approximate size. We should question cultural narratives more and rely on primary sources. You can see more here en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dark_Ages_%28historiography%29

      You wrong mate. The call it dark ages not because there wasn’t knowledge but because we don’t have many artefacts or books. Of course they had knowledge. One reason that we don’t have is because of the volcano that destroyed the whole civilization in the area. If you only study the palace of Knossos you will understand they were in a level of Byzantium. Even in Stonehenge there are Ancient Greek letters that proves these people that you claim that they didn’t have knowledge helped them to build it

Those ages you’re talking about occurred from 2.6 million years ago to about 3,000 BCE. The dark ages occurred in 476 CE to 1000 CE. Idk why you mixed up dark ages with the pre-historic ages, but now you know, I hope.

    Thank you for mentioning on the "Penelopian" war, I was looking for the stories around that time. 🥺😢😭😇. It's very difficult times at the time, so I understand their situations a bit better now, and I am CURIOSE how the stories are passed on by many Philosophers. I happen to ask many questions who has been thinking outside of the box than my peers and my parents in searching for the wisdom. Anyway, thank you for your great work. Yes, more I learn, more I am finding out that I have much more to learn, because we really can't know everything. But, one could try to help to understand some part of the stories to help with strengthning the pillers of the structures, the communications, like we need our life lines and the infrastructure like under the law and order in assisting the virtue, the gift of wisdom, good souls, positive spirit, saving some space for us to play and swim around with our creative thoughts to be able to travel around the universe in space. It has been really great experience, so I know, that's a special gift. I have been learning so much from many intelligent communities and I know that I can't be the best in everything, but I could help as well as I could ask interesting questions to perhaps have the nice round table of communication like many Greek and Italian people love to drink thick and sweet coffee that I had some opportunities to learn their cultural aspects of our beautiful life. You are right about to be careful on getting attacked by enemies, only because we have been asking for the tight questions and CONDUCT the right things. Please keep going in sharing your stoties and tales. 😘

    I imagine these men were pretty awkward in social situations. I've seen posts like "imagine having a drink with one these philosophers!" But I'd bet today you'd consider it fairly average or boring. Socrates said true wisdom is "knowing you do not know" and I think today that often represents itself as a person who has become too anxious to actually ask the question but figures it out in other innocuous ways, and there are plenty of people this way today. Not that they're owed anything for this, but you never know the wisdom you could learn from learn the socially awkward. Lol

    • @gooddaygene8355

      I figure they would have to be awkward in social situations. If they weren't, they would be like everyone else and not stand out nor ask or even muse on the questions the philosophers of old did.
      I also think "knowing [what] you do not know" should be more important. For instance, to be able to ask what "virtue" or "love" means to someone. Those terms we assume we know but which are pretty nebulous to begin with.

    The only true wisdom is knowing you know nothing. Thats wrong . Its a translation mistake. The correct one is i don't want to know what i already know and Socrates said that because he didn't want to know what Pythia said. That he is the wisest of all men. It's quite ridiculous to think that Socrates said that nobody knows anything.
