"For this invention will produce forgetfulness in the minds of those who learn to use it, because they will not practice their memory. Their trust in writing, produced by external characters which are no part of themselves, will discourage the use of their own memory within them. You have invented an elixir not of memory, but of reminding; and you offer your pupils the appearance of wisdom, not true wisdom, for they will read many things without instruction and will therefore seem to know many things, when they are for the most part ignorant and hard to get along with, since they are not wise, but only appear wise."

>Not memorizing entirety of Homer
>Not engaging in Dialectic
>Not contemplating the forms
>Not refuting doxa

Its time to accept that books killed philosophy.

The only reason you know this is because Plato wrote down.

Socrates is great. Imagine some drunk guy talking to you at a party, and he's saying shit so smart it will be remembered for the rest of mankind's existence.

Would Socrates laugh at a fart? I feel like if he would then Plato wouldn't.
