a comic maybe

I was thinking of starting this with a dialogue of Plato, I figured Socrates would have something interesting to say.

You're not speaking as Socrates now, what happened?

I started perusing a bit of the Republic, boy was that boring.

I can imagine. All that agreement, the incessant "clearly" that follows so many of Socrates' remarks, as if there weren't a real disagreement possible. So you abandoned that then?

Clearly.
