Socratic Emergency



Plato: "Socrates, come quick, there is an emergency! " Socrates: "What is it? " Plato: "Something terrible has happened down at the agora." Plato: "Someone is claiming to know something! " Socrates: "Noooooooooooooooo!" Plato: "Noooooooooooooooo!" Socrates: "We have to do something. To the Socratesmobile!" Plato: "Socratesmobile? What is that? " Socrates: "That's just what i call it when i make these four slaveboys carry me around." Socrates, four slaves carrying him: "Faster! People are being wrong as we speak!" Plato: "Can i ride Socrates? " Socrates: "No, wisest men in Athens only, read the sign!" Description: there is a sign on the site that says "wisest men in Athens only".
Protagoras: "...and that's why I know..." Description: Socrates interrupts him by punching him, then continues to kick him on the ground. Plato: "Socrates, what are you doing? I thought you were going to engage him in a dialogue to try to teach him why he was wrong? " Socrates: "Nah, I tried that for like 40 years, turns out it doesn't work." Plato: "And punching does?" Socrates: "No, but it is more satisfying." Plato: "I know he was wrong, but that seems a bit harsh." Socrates, narrowing his eyes: "Did you just say that you “know” he was wrong? " Plato, backing off: "Socrates, no, please, i just meant..." Description: Socrates is now kicking Plato on the ground.
It was around that point that Plato realized an ultimate truth in philosophy: he was freakin' jacked and didn't have to take anyone's shit.
