Xenophon: Being good is good but being bad is not good, it is bad.

Socrates: Xenophon, is it not the truth that a stone can be used for a good cause and also in addition for, by Zeus, for a bad cause.

Xenophon: Yes, magnificent Socrates, that is indeed the truth.

Socrates: Then is not true that the stone can not automatically be categorised as intrinsically bad if it is not intrinsically good?

Xenophon: By Neptune's beard, Socrates! You are the biggest genius the world has ever known!

1. How the fuck was this shit deemed to be genius level?
2. How the fuck did Plato write the republic when Aristotle hadn't yet invented logic? Checkmate, classicists!

Diogenes is the best philosopher desu. He totally BTFO Socrates (or was Aristoteles, I don't remember) all the time.

Socrates has some of the most twisted logic ever.

"If I'm not corrupting the youth why haven't they come forward and told everyone =D"

"You say I am the only person corrupting the youth. Well than things must be pretty good if there is only one bad egg in the whole carton!"

It was Plato.

Speaking of, Cynicism, maybe not to the extent of Diogenes, is the true school of Socrates, and Antisthenes his truest pupil.

I legitimately think Plato didn't get it, and simply latched onto his own whacked out metaphysics.
