Socrates used to spend his time in the Agora (marketplace) using the Socratic method (elenchus) on regular citizens. He would ask them to define fundamental concepts like justice, courage or piety and then continuously question their answers until their logic collapsed. He defended this practice by comparing himself to a gadfly sent to sting the sluggish horse of Athens into intellectual wakefulness. This relentless public questioning embarrassed many prominent figures and directly contributed to his trial and execution in 399 BC.
Its fuckin Socrates…
Professional yapper
Another banger! This mfer don’t miss.
Everyone minding their business
That annoying person
Who else but Socrates!
**passing by, trying not to look at him**
Meanwhile on the Roman Colosseum:
“Come on! How can you move if you had some fatass sitting on the soil??”
“I can’t, my fat acts like an armor”
If passing by is your power, what are you without it?
Ah yes Socrates. The original ragebaiter. Like damn bro his ragebaiting got him killed
Average social influencer interaction in Athens
Socrates when he sees a skeleton pulls out an RPK-16 and magdumping him the whole drum magazine.
Wait till they hear from Diogenes, it’ll be insane
It was your first week at your vacation in Greece.
You walked all of the beautifull streets in your trusty slippers.
Then fucking Socrates shows up, and starts asking you stupid questions.
“Did you walk miles in those slippers, or did slippers walked you?”
You want to start shoving sandals up his mouth.
Do you have the blank template?
