Socrates

Originally posted by opuslola Have you ever had a heart attack? So far, since you entered this site with a determined anti-Ron, syndrome, there will be no points awarded to you! Since it seems you are the one with only a few posts! Unless you are a troll from the old site? So just who/whom are you? Regards come with your future responses!

Ohh don't be cruel
Opuslola, say many things with few words and not the opposite
I still want to believe that you were joking about Socrates.

What's the other site, do they got cookies there?

Please tell me your joking.

Socrates name was used directly by Plato in his Republic, among other writings.

To be blind to the truth and see only conspiracies is your choice not mine.

I didn't rate Socrates as genius because I don't believe it took a lot of knowledge to do what he did.  I rated him as great because he made an important difference,  He moved popular thinking away from superstition and in the direction of rational reasoning.  Aristolte being a student of Plato who was a student of Socrates.  Aristotle advanced us on the path of rational thinking and science.   Aristotle was a teacher of Alexander the Great, and he spread Hellenism.

So! Deathless and P,c. ma, under what bridge are you both now hiding?

I am but a toothless troll, by the way!

But, I might well "gum" you guys to death?

As a famous movie once said; "come out, come out where ever you are?"

Wizard of Oz! The good witch calling to the munchkins!

And p,c.ma, just what conspiracies are you referring to? And just why would I like them?

Tough questions for a fellow Tennessean!

Yes, I was born and raised in Tennessee!

But, I am not a UT fan, by any means!

You are surely a person of few words!

"Do not be afraid, for I will be with you for ever!" Biblical!

But, I do not suggest anything like that! "Your philosophy eludes me" or some words to that effect?

No, I merely suggest that the real Plato was actually as historians today call him "a man of the middle Ages", ergo G. G. Plethon!

You can read my entire small posts on this subject if you actually look at the main site, and look under "alternative history!", where you will see all of the names of this man mentioned!

The other figures you mention are either figments or they are nicknames of other personages of the same age!

So read it and either "weep" or cry "wee, wee, wee all the way home?"

But, you show the "orange" so boldly in your background photo!

Regards,and go Predators!

Another Ice Hockey nut!

In court one can be convicted based upon the weight of circumstantial evicence! And, mostly all of our history before the use of the printing press, has been based upon less!

In actuallity it was mostly based upon ancedotal material!

As one poster here made clear; "the plural of ancedote is not fact!"

Just check out the circumstantial evidence I presented there? It is pretty heavy is it not?

Regards,

But, the courts do accept it!

Sorry, I am a retired Federal Agent! And my step son is a practicing attorney at Law! I am sorry he has not yet mastered his trade and continues to merely "practice" it!
