Socrates was a fat fucking neet
wasnt he known for being an ugly fat piece of shit?
yes he was. its also why he gets depicted as a little goblin man thing so often when hes in a cartoon or anime
Socrates wasn't referring to faggots going to the "gym" and lifting iron for women. He was referring to pro sports, or phisical activity that actually produces something.
>ancient greeks have stories about progressive overload
also guess where the word gymnasium comes from
all this ad hominem
you're faggots
except the position hes taking does have something to do with his personality. so hes either a lier or a dumb faggot
also since he was never in shape he has no idea what strength the human body is capable of or how it feels
he was literally a crazy homeless person and the main reason the other greeks didnt like him was because he was ugly and out of shape, these being things other greeks actually cared about
AND GAY SEX
with cute femboys
ancient greeks did gymnastics which included track and field, wrestling and rope climbing
well spartans made fun of Athens for being full of faggots and also poets from Athens would call spartans fags to get a rise out of them so at least in sparta being a faggot doesnt seem to be common
pederasty doesnt actually imply boy sex, especially if applied in a military since it just means the veterans mentor the new guys which is something that still happens today
sense*
Cringe
Oh rly?
*runs
*gets tired after 33 yardas
Oh yeah such beauty
Olympic Games, folks? The ancient Greeks named them after the abode of the gods.
The Greeks really had their shit together.
Oh he actually meant for his "boys" to get physically fit at the gymnasium while he watched.
Was a major boy fanagling plagarizing pedo.
Read a god damn book. Socrates grew up doing gymnastics, he was probably shredded in his 20's-40's. He did not become a philosopher and therefore famous among Athenians until he was well into 50's, he was in his 70's when he was murdered by the ignorant. Forgive him for not being jacked in old age in 400 fucking BC.
>Read a god damn book. Socrates grew up doing gymnastics, he was probably shredded in his 20's-40's.
Oh really?
He was was he.
He was a rich as fuck pervert who could easy have kept his shape well into his 50's and 70's.
>Socrates
>Rich
Okay, so you have no idea what you're talking about. You should read the dialogues, they're good stuff.
>He was was he
Most likely. It would make sense, but there aren't any descriptions of Socrates as a young man. Or maybe you're right and he was a fat fuck doing gymnastics somehow.
"In origin, Socrates belonged to the lowest class: Socrates was plebs. We know, we can still see for ourselves, how ugly he was. But ugliness, in itself an objection, is among the Greeks almost a refutation."
"With Socrates, Greek taste changes in favor of dialectics. What really happened there? Above all, a noble taste is thus vanquished; with dialectics the plebs come to the top. Before Socrates, dialectic manners were repudiated in good society: they were considered bad manners, they were compromising. The young were warned against them. Furthermore, all such presentations of one's reasons were distrusted. Honest things, like honest men, do not carry their reasons in their hands like that. It is indecent to show all five fingers. What must first be proved is worth little. Wherever authority still forms part of good bearing, where one does not give reasons but commands, the dialectician is a kind of buffoon: one laughs at him, one does not take him seriously. Socrates was the buffoon who got himself taken seriously"
Embarrassing on multiple levels
From what ive heard the spartans had more buttseks.
And also: up until the 16th century, the term "woman" did not exist. Females were simply seen as useless men who could give birth.
Also again: socrates fucked aristotle, who fucked alexander the great, who died at 17.
Socrates was a stonemason. Of course he was shredded you tool
He was a fraudulent pedo who made himself rich with a little cult.
>And also: up until the 16th century, the term "woman" did not exist.
are you a literal retard?
ur actually retarded holy shit

Hey I didn't know that Heidegger used Veeky Forums
hes actually saying humans didnt have a word for a female until the 16th century, not that the specific word didnt exist until then so hes much dumber than you think
...
Alexander died at age 32 you dense cunt
who are you quoting?
Cool.
How do you get into stoicism, fit?
By not worrying about it too much.
By ignoring all writings from stoic autors and reading a ton of motivational images of muscular men (in the non-gay way).
jk go read the memeditations and live like an autist for three days before you forget about it
