This reminds me of: Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems

Dialogue Concerning the Two Chief World Systems (Dialogo sopra i due massimi sistemi del mondo) is a 1632 book by Galileo Galilei comparing Nicolaus Copernicus's heliocentric system model with Ptolemy's geocentric model. Written in Italian, it was translated into Latin as Systema cosmicum[1] (Cosmic System) in 1635 by Matthias Bernegger.[2] The book was dedicated to Galileo's patron, Ferdinando II de' Medici, Grand Duke of Tuscany, who received the first printed copy on February 22, 1632.[3] It consists of four Socratic dialogues between the Copernican Salviati, the educated layman Sagredo and the geocentrist Simplicio. They discuss the findings of their "mutual friend the Academician" (Galileo).

@openculture lol guess #socrates was a time traveler and already knew at the end of all this trump will happen o-0

"(#democracy) ruling, like any skill, requires expert knowledge and training, not just popular opinion, he feared it led to rule by the ignorant and demagogues"

Socrates was deeply critical of Athenian democracy, viewing it as flawed because it gave power to the uneducated majority, arguing that ruling, like any skill, requires expert knowledge and training, not just popular opinion, and feared it led to rule by the ignorant and demagogues, a view solidified by his trial and execution by democratic vote. He believed that only those with wisdom and a deep understanding of issues should govern, not the untrained populace.

Perfect 🤣

“He is richest who is content with the least, for contentment is the wealth of nature.”

#Sócrates, Los #Escépticos como #Pirron de Elis o #SextoEmpírico y el #Budismo comparten la misma línea argumental de llegar al No Sé si Sé.

Voy a hacer una vacilada. Voy a ampliar a #Sócrates: Sólo sé que estoy en el proceso de no saber si sé.

Creo que me quedo con la #definición de #Sabiduría de "Sólo sé que no sé si sé". #Sócrates estaría orgulloso de mi.

«Soy más sabio que este hombre, porque ninguno de los dos sabe nada bueno, pero él cree saber algo y no lo sabe, mientras que yo, no sabiendo, tampoco creo saber.» #Sócrates

Hago una versión de la frase de #Sócrates que no es la conocida. La versión concida es: "Sólo sé que no sé nada". Pero yo digo: "Sólo sé que no sé si sé".

I have never read plato beyond the Republic, but I have a book of Greek and Roman Philosophy that I wanted to try bibliomancy with.

I simply had my partner generate a number between 5-345 since they were over there writing python code anyways. And they gave me

86 which landed square in the middle of the Pheado i nthe Dialogues of Socrates section.

Gods is Socrates annoying

[Paragraph where statements end in question marks]

I agree, says some poor bastard from thebes

[More self aggrandizing but with sentences ending in question marks]

Is it true that posting your own philosophical content on social media is read as pretentious, and as threatening and preachy when it's written by a man?

Oh well - in the spirit of #Socrates, here's to thinking out loud in public, regardless. 😝
