I am the Munchhausen trilemma poster. I read Euthyphro and the Apology and now I realise that I am like a contemporary Socrates who points out other people's lack of knowledge and their pretentiousness and inability to admit their inability to "know" anything.
Nobody gives a fuck.
You may well be, but it's not hard to be Socrates when you have such a good example as Socrates himself to ape.
The real trick is in being yourself better than Socrates was Socrates.

I found Euthyphro interesting, specifically the question of how something can be considered holy, which I have been wrestling with for the last week or so.
If the holy is something that is divinely approved, then what comes first - God's approval, or the existence of an eternal truth that is then approved by God?
So is God an arbiter of what is divinely approved, and holy, or is he merely a transmitter to us of what is holy - which means that there are holy things that exist as eternal truths, regardless of God's approval. Therefore something can be holy without being divinely approved.
I found this idea fascinating.
Repeating Socrates' edgy ideas 2400 years after Socrates died is pretty gay, desu senpai
You should follow his example and kill yourself.
