Plato was a inferior. Have you ever wondered why your philosophy course(s) never taught you the difference between the philosophies of individual liberty vs a dictatorship? Nope, they taught us about a bunch of lunatics, (Sans Aristotle, who was not taught properly), who would have been institutionalized after the age of reason for being insane? Yep, we had no idea why we got a good grade in that class of mixed up garbage, were glad it was over, and to never think about it again. That is because Policy comes from Principles, and Principles comes from Philosophy. How we live depends on the philosophies we choose,---and communism does not leave us a choice. We don't even understand our choice of individual liberty protected by law with free people creating free enterprise, but the USA allowed man to be great under those philosophies and it formed civility and prosperity, by protecting the individual instead of favoring a group. Plato saw a perfect chair, (for example of what man has built), in a "forum" in space, and my instructor kept asking the question all semester, "Does a table have a soul?"
Good thing I got into engineering, because that is the study of reality, and it helped me a lot. :)

My 92 year old Mother, (still does well), has that TV going on, alone, all day long, and believes the news. I want to spend more time with her, (even though we can not meet with the minds), so I bring over movies, and am even going to start teaching her the game of chess tomorrow. I brought over the move "The Incredibles", because it has some good stuff in it.
As we watched it, I would make a comment here and there, and she did not hear a word I said. She was looking at the TV is a slack jawed trance that reminded me of a child engrossed in Saturday morning cartoons. After the movie was over, I asked her if she liked it. She had no idea of the messaging, saw some pretty colors, and all she could say was, "It was kinda loud." My Mother is not suffering from dementia. She was in a brain dead trance, watching TV. I had never seen her like that before, and she will never disagree with the news.
