This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Well, that was Sokrates mit Plato
Or did I mix that up?
Well, it was Socrates per Plato. And everything Plato supposedly wrote was supposedly Socrates. Greek philosophy authorship is... dubious.
Must have been a follower of Diogenes Laertius.

Saw this before here.

Tbf, Plato basically was the ancient Greek equivalent of the podcast musclebro that will occasionally hard right into some VERY concerning ideas about how letting "the wrong people" have a say is what's wrong with society.
This is the philosophical lineage that ended with Alexander the Probably Killed by His Own Liver in Vengeance for Years of Endless Drunkardness
you're just a projection from another plane
