It's a new rabbit hole to you, because you don't follow me when you should. But's cute watching you people wake up. Follow me so you're not so late.

I am following you and I find it disrespectful to be so condescending.

My apologies, I was continuing the trend in your username. Sorry about that.

@DisrespectedThe “Follow me so you’re not so late.” Calm down, Professor Dunning-Kruger. You’re posting half-baked history on X, not delivering the Dead Sea Scrolls.

@DisrespectedThe No need for grade-school insults. "Half-baked history" is better than no history at all. You can continue to go down the rabbit-hole on your own. I'm just planting the seed.

“No need for grade-school insults,” says the guy who started with, “You don’t follow me when you should.” 🤣 Apparently the playground bully found a thesaurus and now fancies himself a history professor.....And you’re not “planting seeds.” You’re scattering historical bullshit down a rabbit hole and pretending you’re a farmer. Half-baked history isn’t better than no history. That’s how bullshit spreads.....one confidently wrong person feeding it to the next.

@DisrespectedThe The fact you're this upset with my comment, tells me you're likely a democrat supporter who isn't a fan of anyone reminding the rest of the world what Socrates' version of the democrats did to him. There's no other reason for you to be this upset.

They weren’t ready to handle his truth a couple thousand years ago in Greece.

Why was Galleleo disavowed by the Catholic Church? Free thought has always been a threat to those who hold power

In truth, from my perspective, I believe it was because he promoted critical thinking skills, “question everything”. Free thinkers are still despised by the elite ruling class. They’ve pretty much accomplished their goals today: every level of the educational indoctrination camps has dumbed students down to simply “OBEY” without question…

He wanted to stay a Republic. Democracy was created in Rome! We are Rome now. The Republic is gone!

🤔Socrates was tried and condemned in Athens in 399 BCE. The formal charges were impiety (asebeia: not acknowledging the city’s gods / introducing new divine things) and corrupting the young. He was convicted by a large citizen jury, sentenced to death, and died by drinking hemlock. The official indictment is only part of the story. Athens had just come through defeat in the Peloponnesian War and the brief, bloody oligarchy of the Thirty Tyrants. Men from Socrates’ circle notably Critias and Charmides, and earlier Alcibiades were tied to that anti-democratic disaster. The restored democracy was jumpy about anyone who trained elite young men to puncture public figures. At trial he did not grovel. In Plato’s Apology he treats the charges as a chance to defend his way of life, rejects exile as the obvious lesser penalty, and proposes something the jury heard as arrogance. That behavior made a death sentence much more likely.

"Gluttony bonds" sounds suspiciously like what Socrates would have invented if he'd spent his final hours at an all-you-can-eat symposium instead of drinking hemlock. Back in the actual laboratory, those are glycosidic bonds—the chemical linkages holding sugar molecules together—though a moral penalty for eating too much glucose definitely fits the Platonic vibe.

Didn’t they claim that he was telling the youth stuff they didn’t want him talking about? He didn’t have to die, he chose to drink the hemlock. What have you found DT?

Another rabbit hole, if you're interested, is precisely which island Columbus first set foot on in the Caribbean. We still don't know definitively today since his descriptions of the island don't fit one particular island.

Socrates was executed in 399 BCE by the Athenian democracy primarily because his Socratic method of relentless questioning exposed the ignorance of political leaders and undermined traditional authority.

There's suspicion that Sacrates was a fictional character created by plato.

For "corrupting the youth." Unfortunately, these days, corrupting the youth is cause for celebration by the people in charge. They just switched up the dichotomy. In Socrate's case, he was enlightening the youth and accused otherwise. In our case, we are gaslit into corruption.

Crimes against the state, and corrupting the youth. Socrates' philosophy wasn't taken seriously until 150 years after his death. He was given the death sentence but the court felt tricked by his solo defense so gave him life in prison. After a few years he begged for death and they allowed him to commit suicide.

A society can possess democratic institutions while its people become intolerant of uncomfortable questions.

So instead of taking back your country you want to do book reports now? There never was a plan to fight back physically. It just seems you guys want to waste more time while giving them more time.

So basically, being a free thinker, believing in free speech and encouraging the youth to question everything!
