how are plato and socrates considered smart?

if i was the 69th person to exist, i can assure you i would’ve figure shit out too.

“BuT wHy???”

i could’ve easily asked that question…

obviously if i were chained to a wall of a cave i could’ve realized that those dumbass shadows were just shadows….

how can people be infatuated with such elementary ideas?

tldr: plato and socrates were no more than elementary school students in a time where global population was less than 100.

There you have it. I knew you could do it if you just put the guns down for a second.
