Yeah, I'm just making up phrases.
But, Socrates is a guy from Plato's books who's is frustrated by all the smart people around him. They all seem really smart to Socrates, and Socrates wants to be smart, like them. So, he goes around asking all of these smart people lots of stupid questions. But, it turns out that they can't answer a lot of his stupid questions.
It may not be a good strategy though, because eventually they kill him, because he's an annoyance.
- pdonis 12y agoI assume you're being ironic. It's clear to me that Socrates did not for a moment think that all those other people around him were smart--more precisely, he didn't think they were as smart as they thought they were.
