True wisdom comes to each of us when we realize how little we understand about life, ourselves, and the world around us. —Socrates

A sense of #wonder is the mark of the lover-of- #wisdom. Indeed, #love- of-wisdom has no other origin.
- #Socrates, in #Plato, ' #Theaetetus' 155D
A sense of wonder is the mark of the philosopher. Indeed, philosophy has no other origin. - Socrates, in Plato, 'Theaetetus' 155D
"A sense of #wonder is the mark of the philosopher. Indeed, #philosophy has no other origin."

And philosophy was originally only a Greek neologism for an experience new to the Greeks, 'the love-desire of #wisdom' ...

#Socrates
Scott Samuelson revisits #Plato’s Apology to defend the humanities. From the trial of #Socrates to Guinness World Record twins on Hondas, he argues that the "care of the soul" isn't a luxury—it's what makes us human.

A neoclassical painting of the Oracle of Delphi (the Pythia) seated on a tripod above rising vapors. She wears a deep red robe that drapes over her body and partially covers her head, her expression distant and trance-like. One hand holds a shallow bowl, the other a laurel branch. Wisps of smoke curl around her feet and the base of the tripod, suggesting the intoxicating fumes believed to inspire her prophecies. The dark background isolates her figure, emphasizing the ritual, mystery, and ambiguity of the oracle’s voice.
If the oracle spoke today, would we recognize the truth…
or just the answer we wanted to hear?

Socrates and Confucius (孔子) in discussion. The sculpture of course enjoys artistic freedom in placing the two together.

Now this is a lecture hall!
"Prison of Socrates". Not probably the exact spot where Socrates spent the very end of his life, but close enough. Socrates was convicted to death by a democratic jury with the accusations of corrupting the youth, being an atheist and believing the wrong gods.
Athens in February: not hot, not crowded, great for sightseeing.
Saw the ruins of the Lyceum of Aristotles and the quite underwhelming 😂 park where Plato's academy used to be, and the "Prison of Socrates", among other.
Lots of history, cats, vegan restaurants.

A neoclassical painting of the Oracle of Delphi (the Pythia) seated on a tripod, surrounded by faint rising vapors. She wears a deep red hooded robe and looks forward with a distant, trance-like expression. In one hand she holds a shallow bowl, and in the other a laurel branch. Overlaid text reads: “The Dolphin’s Always Right,” “Waypoint 4.6—Know Thy Fault,” and “K.L. Homme,” with the website noshortcutstonow.substack.com at the bottom. A small headphone icon beside the title indicates an audio episode.
If you wage war, a great empire will fall.
The oracle was right.
King Croesus just misunderstood which one.

“No one is wiser than Socrates.”
So he set out to prove the oracle wrong—and discovered something worse.

The modern 'Cave of #Socrates', which is #television, infested by ready-made technicians 'n specialists, steers us towards a single creed, in which #we™ exist, distinct from #them™; we are the #GoodGuys™ in ABSOLUTE TERMS. It is those #others™ who constitute the problem! 😠

To fear death is to appear to be wise without being so;
for it is to appear to know what one does not know.
- #Socrates, 'Apology'
A friend asked the Oracle of Delphi:
“Is anyone wiser than Socrates?”
The oracle answered:
“No one.”
Socrates spent the rest of his life trying to prove the oracle wrong.
