I step into Socrates's forum and speak to him about happiness. Other philosophers gradually step in.
Plato speaks on behalf of Socrates.
How is happiness attained?
Through moderation.
Moderation of what?
Other philosophers gradually step in.
I refute all of them.
The philosophers bicker.
Toward the end, I say that for all of their philosophizing and such, they can't answer the simplest answer
relevant to my life, such as what is good and what is evil. They contradict each other and they contradict
themselves.
The philosophers argue angrily, and I watch them. I sit toward an edge and watch, saying that I might
eventually be able to make sense out of the loudening clamor.
Einstein shouts from some other building behind the forum, and tells me the definition of insanity.
I ask him how his unified theory is coming along.
Touché.

I hate jews out of principle. Call it an aesthetic choice. As far as I'm concerned, the mere fact of jewish existence is a blemish upon mankind. A jew can come to my home tomorrow, give me a billion dollars and suck my dick, and my hatred of jews would remain unchanged. Jews can cure cancer and colonize solar system, and I would regard this as nothing more but yet more trick of subversive kikery. I'm immune to anything a jew can do or say, and this brings me great calm. Every man needs an enemy and I'm glad to have found mine.

Anyone else feel like pre-Internet era written literature is worthless because people who wrote them weren't developed in the same degree as us? I mean some of the works of western canon display impressive raw intellect of their writers, but the quality of knowledge simply isn't on par with modern humans, who have the world's knowledge at their fingertips in dynamic real time. I mean, what could Plato, who likely read no more than a 100 books in his life and travelled no further than 100 miles from his place of birth, really tell me about life?
