I agree

To ponder is to consider, to think is to process, to learn is to become enlightened. To become aware, is to become empowered. That is the truth of metaphysics.

A truly fascinating story

the Allegory of the Cave serves as a powerful metaphor for the human condition, highlighting the importance of critical thinking, self-reflection, and the pursuit of knowledge to break free from the constraints of ignorance and perceive the world in its true form. EMJAY BELARO EPAS 12-2

I was just thinking about it today about how everybody wants to be the big strong guy or smartest guy something of that nature but I guess I've always admired people that are the old wise characters in a story. Because they seem to know a lot more than what we think. Intelligence is different from wisdom, wisdom you have to gain through experience versus intelligence which is a set of rules and already existing information.

Wisdom comes with aging and the ability to shut up, listen and observe

Honest question, do you believe in what Socraes says or at least upholds that his philsophy, cocnerned with alignment with the truth and separation from lies, is a good philosophy?

I kinda wanted to ask the same, but unsure how to word it; so thanks :D

it is better to be just, than unjust, because, a society bent on justice, assumes two things; the individual takes responsibility first, and society takes responsibility, after the individual falters. what this means with a micro-scope, is that our actions are never for the purpose of ourselves, alone. to do so, is unjust or unfair. but, to coordinate our actions in sync with society, is the most just-action possible.

How could Socrates know that he knew nothing if he knew nothing?

"Have you heard the tragedy of Darth Socrates the Know-Nothing?" -Plato to Aristotle, at the theatre

Demon comes from Daimon which is a spirit guide. Its a intermediary entity that works with humans in relation to the gods and nature. Sadly christianity has warped everything from its actual meaning into something ridiculous.

I think he's too cerebral and attached to logical thinking to be able to appreciate Taoism. The first verse of the Daodejing alone would utterly stymie him. Can you imagine him trying to get Lao zi or Zhuangzi to pin down an exact definition of the Tao?
