so. PH1101E. 4-6 pm LT11. what have i learned in my first lecture?
1. Plato is an idiot (only someone so stupid could use his teacher Socrates as a cover of ambiguity. then again, maybe that isn't such a stupid idea... but what the hell, Plato's an idiot anyway)
2. Socrates just doesn't know when to quit. when you go around picking arguments with people just to prove to them that they're wrong... well, it's not the smartest thing to do (for a man who was apparently supposed to be extremely wise). no wonder the segment was titled - "how not to make friends AND get yourself an execution"
3. Plato and Socrates don't know the meaning of simple language. the 2 idiots go round and round, harping on the same points, and finally drawing NO conclusion whatsoever. brilliant. and they use big words too (just to sound impressive. not to mention confuse people)
4. all this stupidy makes philosophy an interesting module to take.
such is a day in... the diary of chris
