Great Books

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

Professional procrastinator. 
 Language geek.
 Videogame freak.

Haha you’re halfway there…. Now you just need to be WILLING to be poor

Why do I have to be willing to be poor in order to qualify as a real philosopher?

You can't be rich and be expected to understand those in need

You must be humble and poor, like Jesus Christ, to be able to consider yourself a philosopher. Even then, you need to be humbled if you think you're a philosopher
