i’ve decided that any discussion that relies on language (including this one) is nothing more than acceptable sophistry. It’s all word play and nothing more. Sure, we attempt to transmit some idea, but language is so horribly liquid, that any reception of similar meaning is nothing more than coincidence.
Furthermore, i think Plato’s biggest point about the ideal Republic is that is does not include any “philosopher” or anyone who thinks too much. Socrates was taken out and killed by the people. Philosophy is word play that attempts to make one doubt whatever one believes.
