Yep, the cynic in me thinks that actually creating the conditions where a dozen people's speculation on stuff dominates discourse for a couple of millenia like the Greek philosophers is less about the quality of speculation, and more about ensuring that not much else of note is written down...
- mistermann 5y agoLots of stuff gets written down nowadays, but so much of it is crap, and most of everything kind of vanishes into the ether of old forum posts as time marches on.
- watwut 5y agoA lot more crap or even super high quality thinking vanished in that era. Socrates was even refusing to write at all. All we know is what Plato wrote for his own reasons.
