Plato’s greatest lesson hides in plain sight: If you are not willing to live like Socrates (poor, prone, and always questioning), you are not actually a “Philosopher” You may be philosophical; you may be friendly toward philosophy; you may admire philosophers. But mistaking yourself for a Philosopher can do a lot of harm to yourself, your city, and to real philosophy. (This is one of the big things that’s overlooked when people implicitly equate Plato’s Socrates with Plato.)

Calling myself a philosopher is too much ofc, but I am poor and always questioning. My friends call me philosopher, but I'm a bit more humble than that
