Someone: So anyway, that's why I feel like the true nature of a thing can only exist in the mind.

Plato: Oh, so kind of like a, uh...Platonic ideal?

S: A what?

P: You know, a Platonic ideal. You have heard of Platonic idealism, right?

S: (getting nervous) Uh...yeah, sure.

P: Of course you have. Everyone has.

greeks and romans were dumb as hell and had no morals. their philosophers had ideas of all sorts of mechanics and things but never actually applied any of it and instead just huffed their own farts about their dipshit ideas. meanwhile they use slave labor for like every goddamn thing and since they aren't paying their workers they have no pressure to increase technology level or innovate to increase efficiency. no wonder their dumb asses got handily taken over by a bunch of european rednecks from the woods

because they populated bookshelves in the concrete bunkers belonging to the rich and powerful when nuclear fire swept over the world only writings from ayn rand and robert nozick survived. future historians came to the conclusion that philosophers were not only not actually smart, they were substantially dumber than the general population

they would, then they'd find an equally justifiable argument to stay employed as a "thought exercise"

Plato, teaching students: "So to the question of what knowledge is, we can maybe define it as.."

Diogenes, throwing dog poop through the windows while entirely naked: "BOOOOO BORING! Show us your tits, nerd!!"

Plato: "Oh not you again, I definitely know that you suck!"

Diogenes, pressing his naked butt and dick on a table: "How can you be so sure, ehh? gently caress you, go smell this bitch" *farts*

Plato: "It is justified to know that. It is justified and true to know that. That's what knowledge is, the justified and true opinion that you're a piece of poo poo!"

Diogenes, drawing vaginas on the wall: "I know what history will remember about you, nerd"
