Why was socrates such a smug little cunt

why was socrates such a smug little cunt

Because he didn’t exist

He could beat the shit out of anyone in Athens, they were forced to put up with him

If we're going off exactly how Plato portrayed things then he had the right to be.

he had aspergers

why is my dad so fucking mean?

Overcompensating for his looks.

like it or not, this is what peak performance looks like

Socrates wasn't smug, he was absolutely sincere.

You either don't know what smug means or don't know what sinciere means

Autism didn't exist until vaccination became ubiquitous.

He was surrounded by hypocrites in a totalitarian, psychotic civilization and uncovered the most important epistemological truth accidentally via a friend vouching for him to a schizo temple prostitute. You'd be a little smug and off-kilter too if that happened to you.

Oh for fucks sake, he was a fictional character, and even if not fictional, the dialogues were clearly not what actually occurred. I can guarantee you, that anyone who thinks those dialogues are anything more than a fictionalized account to push an ideology, you would be.

This is why I think Ayn Rand drew from Plato a considerable degree, because you see the exact same thing in her novel. But it is more see through because Plato is a philosopher king and Ayn Rand is trash.

In other words, although the accounts are fictionalized, the ideology or message being said is very virtuous, and this is why we all love Plato.

I laughed, because you are either trying to say it is obviously fake, or extremely deluded.

>Live your life surrounded by completely braindead athenians.
>Oracle says you are the best.
>Young men lining up to be fucked.
>Only one person in the whole Athens is smart enough for you (it's not Plato btw)
>Succesful soldier

You'd be as smug as him if you were as succesful

What are you talking about? Are you lucid right now? Did you take a psychotropic substance a few hours ago?

He was the opposite of smug, he was the most humble man around. Everyone around him claimed to have special knowledge so he interviewed them and made them look like fools when it was revealed they didn't actually know anything. Socrates proclaimed he had no knowledge to begin with.

What I'm trying to say that if Socrates was even real (yes this is disputed) these dialogues are clearly fabricated. I thought that response I saw was some kind of satirical, sardonic post about the absurdity of thinking anything Plato wrote that Socrates said actually happened.

who then?

Notice the right Wallacian arm is always stronger than the left, tennis.

Diogenes

>not uncontrolled wanking

>tennis
>self-proclaimed "television" addict who wrote extensively on the subject of addiction and recovery, dodged the question when asked what specific demon he was struggling with but allowed rumors that it may have been heroin (heroin being much more literary lifestyle than pornography) and admitted to severe existential angst and concerns about the future of humanity should VR porn ever become a thing

Hue.

You got mem'd son. Wow I bet you think you're so smart now huh? You pseud fuck.

he was a proto-christian

>yes this is disputed

Only be the most pedantic cretins

Euripides, obviously.

He had a wife that sucked him off on a daily basis but he wanted to have boipucci instead
