Does anyone else always think of Socrates' Daemon?

• brimble 5y ago
  I'd just assumed it was from that. Greek-tradition minor deities and helper spirits. Like "genius".

  Yes. Socrates' daimon listened in the background and would warn or forbid him from doing certain things.

  I strongly thing about it!

  Socrates's demon, Descartes's demon, Laplace's demon, Maxwell's demon, and there are many more, it's a common notion
