He was talking about the """""theory""""" of the forms.
Which basically says that reality is an imperfect reflection of some ontological perfect form of a concept like shadows on the wall of a cave.
This is what Plato actually believes.
A picture might speak a thousand words.
But a concept speaks a thousand pictures?

Why is Plato so shit at metaphors?
You cant know nuffin

No. He was talking about Classes of objects, and their ontological relationship to instances of objects. He was hitting on something abstract that is incredibly useful in programming today, but had little application back then.

That people who live in holes underground develop mental retardation and that they can believe anything that suits their imagination. Much like /pol and religious fundamentalists.

>Plato was a programming god, he was ahead of his time XD he didn't ACTUALLY have ontological commitment to the forms XD that would be retarded

why is aristotle talking about the theory of forms
>>1073615
Because it's the only thing that he felt he achieved. That, creating one of the basis of fascism (what is the republic?), and defining humans as featherless chickens.

I'm such a moron. I hadn't read the image, then i realized that yes, it was Aristotle talking about forms and not just a mistake of the other poster.
Now i don't know who's dumber: if the guy who wrote the image or me.
I need a hug.
