The link below is a man explaining why Plato hated debates. Largely audiences confuse someone with better debate tactics and a better voice as speaking the truth. Person arguing for A won, thus A must be true. 

Plato believed truth was a long term collaborative process.

Looking at how the world has developed, Plato appears to have been correct.

I suspect this happens far more often than we admit. OJ's lawyers were more polished meant that OJ was not guilty. But was that really the "truth?" Be it politics, law, or even commercials, how often do we equate being more polished as the truth?

But what were his faults?  Was he a racist?  Didn’t Plato defend slavery?  What ethnicity were his slaves?  Don’t we have to consider them to qualify his opinion & understand the conditions of the time?😉

 

 

I disagree.  Bait usually has to be clever to work.

 

Yet here you are.😆. We had you second most likely to need to jump in….

 

"We".  LOL

What a low T, low self-esteem dink you are...like most MAGAs.

while twenty jdb and dr hoops studied things that were useful to them on day one

I studied partying and coeds. I wish I had focused more and tried harder in undergrad.

I don't even remember college.
