Not autism.
Looks like he had down syndrome.
Perhaps that might explain why he was so fucking out of touch with humanity.

Sounds a bit spergy to me.

I have an autistic sister and never did I think that Socrates was autistic when I first heard of him, and when I had a flirtation with him in my college ethics class.

Socrates was well able to understand that I was making romantic advances towards him and he reciprocated appropriately, given the social situation we found ourselves in.

it was suicide

omg that slice is ginormous
There were some questionable bouts at the trial (and referring to thyself in 3rd person) (if we are to believe Plato) where it *does* seem that autism plays in...
But if you read only what we have, it definitely seems like he's autistic. Relentless logic with literally any statement/question uttered by a human.
But I'm sure it wasn't so theatrical as it seems in writing back then.

Men can become.
I acknowledge female eroticism, but vulgarity is not beauty.

happy to see the spirit of homoerotic trad-fascism is alive and well
It's interesting to think that if these great philosophers had been born today, then every single one of them would have been diagnosed with some sort of mental disorder.

we've been experimenting with creating a synthesis of it, salafism, hyperboreanism/esoterism, deep ecology and primitivism, it's producing interesting results.

nope

Why trust a second-hand account?
Even in journalistic terms this would not support credibility.
>>8113018
But Plato wasn't a novelist or a playwright. He just wanted to get the ideas out. He wouldn't have included more down-to-earth dialogue even if accurate. The result makes Socrates looks pretty OCD about philosophical topics.

Yeah, agreed. But you cant blame people for why they'd think he could be a bit of a sperglord. I mean yeah, stay in jail to prevent people from thinking he actually did corrupt the youth, but yeah, (due to Plato), the guy seems like the type that went around town looking to argue with people on everything... and dhatter the egos of his plaintiffs...

Did Socrates have Fetal alcohol syndrome/effects?
