I'm gonna cry

It just hit me how important he was and how important he is to me. He was a pure soul and he pulled us out of the darkness and set the whole world on its course. We are all his children. I wish he could see how far we've come

goes to show what a trivial bullshit world we live in. I don't mean any disrespect to Socrates, it just reflects badly on the rest of us that refusing to accept people's awful opinions, and not letting yourself be shouted down is so rare and valuable.

socrates was a totalitarian asshat that hoped his death would derail that which would later enable Europe to progress beyond oligarchic clientism (until we arrived back at it but it was a good run).

>recognizing the state as the principal way to cultivate morality instead of letting people run around like monkeys is “totalitarian”
Actually kill yourself you fucking queer. You are literally the type of subhuman democrat he warned against

Socrates was just a good person Plato meet when he was young. The Socrates you are reading in the dialogues isn't Socrates, it's Plato...

Plato was a pure divine soul full of beauty.

Thereupon Crito nodded to the boy who was standing near. The boy went out and stayed a long time, then came back with the man who was to administer the poison, which he brought with
him in a cup ready for use. And when Socrates saw him, he said: “Well, my good man, you know
about these things; what must I do?” “Nothing,” he replied, “except drink the poison and walk
about [117b] till your legs feel heavy; then lie down, and the poison will take effect of itself.”
At the same time he held out the cup to Socrates. He took it, and very gently, Echecrates, without trembling or changing color or expression, but looking up at the man with wide open eyes, as was his custom, said: “What do you say about pouring a libation to some deity from this cup? May I, or not?” “Socrates,” said he, “we prepare only as much as we think is enough.” “I understand,” said Socrates; [117c] “but I may and must pray to the gods that my departure hence be a fortunate one; so I offer this prayer, and may it be granted.” With these words he raised the cup to his lips and very cheerfully and quietly drained it. Up to that time most of us had been able to restrain our tears fairly well, but when we watched him drinking and saw that he had drunk the poison, we could do so no longer, but in spite of myself my tears rolled down in floods, so that I wrapped my face in my cloak and wept for myself; for it was not for him that I wept, [117d] but for my own misfortune in being deprived of such a friend. Crito had got up and gone away even before I did, because he could not restrain his tears. But Apollodorus, who had been weeping all the time before, then wailed aloud in his grief and made us all break down, except Socrates himself. But he said, “What conduct is this, you strange men! I sent the women away chiefly for this very reason, that they might not behave in this absurd way; for I have heard that [117e] it is best to die in silence. Keep quiet and be brave.”

There have been probably 100 Socrates-like figure in Ancient Greece, 1000s more worldwide. The whole thing is an accident.

He was a snarky know-it-all, too clever to get along with people, and suicidal to boot.
He committed cop suicide.
There is little that separates him from any other man beyond these.

He also singlehandedly made humanity give up it's ancient principle of "might makes right" for being ruled by weak onions cowards more preocupied with debating dialectics and muh virtues than actualy strenghtening their people. Socrates marked the begining of rational thought but also the castration of emotion and intuition. He was a good man with the wrong ideas for a species like ours.

>Intellectualism in the vicious sense began when Socrates and Plato taught that what a thing really is, is told us by its definition. Ever since Socrates we have been taught that reality consists of essences, not of appearances, and that the essences of things are known whenever we know their definitions.
