Socrates in phaedo :-
>that not only opposites will not receive opposites, but also that nothing which brings the opposite will admit the opposite of that which it brings, in that to which it is brought.

I failed to understand it. And thank you!

Opposite Day is real because it *doesn’t* exist.

Socrates was a troll

It's the Greek interpretation of what we know in modernity as the Subject/Object dichotomy. The Subject and Object create, and are created by, one another. Each, individually, would cease to exist without its opposite, which can be defined only by their contrasting relationship.

Assume fire and water are opposites. Fire cannot admit water without ceasing to be fire (as it will be doused); water cannot admit fire without ceasing to be water ( because it will be vaporised (assume steam isn't water)). Now assume sparks bring fire. The analogy breaks down here, but if sparks brought fire, it would not admit water into fire. Maybe a better analogy would be if ice is the opposite of fire, and water brings about ice, then water would neither admit fire nor admit fire enter ice (because ice is water)
Somewhat more clearly, it seems like non-contradiction + some kind of causal/constitutional transitivity of non-contradiction.
