Would Plato be internet famous if he was born today?

they cannot imagine a world better than the one they live in

We live in a world where the world's most influential intellectual is either Jordan Peterson, Ta-Nehisi Coates or Judith Butler.

He wouldn't be internet famous because he would probs kill himself after seeing what the world has become.

Works of Plato are known everywhere in the world, world of Jean-Paul Memesky not so much.

No one would listen to his philosophy without 15+ years studding postmodern bullshit

but you're talking about "fame" which as I've already mentioned is circumstantial
what makes plato a fundamentally better philosopher than all those who have come after hm, other than the fact that he was there first? (with the exception of socrates, thales, anaximander, etc.)

Because he was one of the first philosophers.

This is the state of modern philosophy

And? It isn't like there existed zero retarded pseudo philosophers in Ancient Greece

reflect on your apologism

The people in those links are some of the most prominent philosophers.
We live in a world where Jordan Peterson, Ta-Nehisi Coates or Judith Butler is the prominent public intellectual.

If Plato would be a "drop in the sea" nowadays, why is the level of public intellectuals and academic philosophers so low?

It makes sense to say Jesse Owens wouldn't be a great competitor nowadays when his best was 10.2 and Bolt runs sub 9.6. It wouldn't make sense if the world's best competitors nowadays ran the 100m in 14 seconds.

Do you think they were called sophists for nothing?

> Why is the level of public intellectuals and academic philosophers so low?
Because actual modern philosophy is so hard that it is far beyond public realm.

Reflect, it's for your own good.

Modern philosophy is hard, so modern philosophers will have a low level?

this is why Veeky Forums remains terrible
just because no one can see your lack of credentials on this site doesn't mean your opinions actually are as valid as others', especially when other people are using sound reasoning

Calling things 'terrible' is not reflecting on your actions and words.

The first thing Plato would do is go nuts about how tf we allowed women's suffrage.

Modern philosopher can't be a public intellectual because the public can't into modern philosophy and if you simplify it, only poor autism remains.

Same reason why when there is some groundbreaking discovery in mathematics and physics, normies go full apeshit with hadron collider being a black hole portal into the realm of God.

Judith Butler is a tremendously influential philosopher.

What exactly... he influenced?

I'm And there is Habermas, who is still alive. Is he greater than Plato?

>he
What?

No

Plato was a literature character invented by Aristotle.
