He meant that lack of gay sex with a little boy is the worst date imaginable.
Try reading the symposium you cromagnon.

Unironically, vidya and anime. Plato was referring to an ignoble existence devoid of will, and thus engagement or accomplishment.

Both communities condone sex with little boys.
Hence they're lack of true moral virtue.

Obviously being a brainlet ranks worse, as you will know from experience.

Better Socrates unsatisfied than the fool satisfied huh?
You'll be able to bear it's imperfections hmm?
Well guess what's not imperfect, gay sex with little boys.
Thomas Bell
You could develop a cuckold fetish like me

If it doesn't involve gay sex with little boys it's inherently flawed.

Eh, sort of right but I don't think these guys get the point across. Plato believed that we have immaterial and immortal souls, and so the death of the body is just the freeing of the soul which is why Socrates wanted a chicken to be sacrificed to Asclepius (the god of medicine). He saw death as the cure for the illness of the soul, that is being bound to the body. Cicero said that Socrates brought philosophy down from the heavens into peoples' homes, meaning that the focus of philosophy shifted from finding out what the world is made of (see the Milesians) to ethics. Socrates utmost concern was how we take care of our souls, and he saw any immoral action as actually damaging the soul. This is why he believed that anyone who does wrong did so because they didn't know better, if they just knew this truth they would live ethically in order to preserve their souls.
