Why does /lit/ never talk about historical figures like him or Pico della Mirandola who were arguably some of the most important figures in philosophy in the last 1000 years? Its akways the same meme authors

Can someone redpill me on Platonism and Neoplatonism? Does it factor into Christian theology at all? Was Plato divinely inspired in any way? Was Marsilio Ficini right? Or is it vain philosophy? Gnostic trash? Are Christians interested in Plato practicing syncreticism, or is Platonism built into Christian doctrine from the beginning?
