I don’t even think it’s the ego of the person being questioned, Socrates was a major annoyance in the incessant way he asked questions. It is quite rude by any measure, as shown by how often people get angry at him in those dialogues. However it is effective, at least for us to read

- bowsamic 4y agoI agree, but he deserved his legendary end. He is a lesson in both incessant questioning, and how not to talk to people if you want to keep your head. I think I would have hit him too
