      The correct rejoinder to this argument is not to look for who the "one thousand Platos" in our society are but just point out the real Plato was fucking overrated So was Shakespearehttps://twitter.com/js_thrill/status/1363363001626202117 …

      I don’t want to start parsing whether plato was overrated or Shakespeare is overrated; I don’t think the correct metric for evaluating societal progress is to list how many civ iv “great thinkers” off the top of your head would come from a given era, and then do fermi estimates

      Well sure, but my point is the whole basic framing of this question comes from the NRxers (including Scott) having this huge worshipful boner for old school shit that is extremely cringe

          Sure, just: as someone who is both a fan of diversifying the philosophy canon and thinks the canonical figures said stuff worth paying attention to (and problematic stuff worth attending to how it influenced their thinking), I don’t want to get bogged down by “was Plato bad”

          Plato could be the single greatest thinker who ever lived and it wouldn’t make the argument any better, because it’s a facile argument based on made up math and bullshit assumptions even if you went with Zhuangzhi or Shantideva
