I've tried reading Plato a few times and it always bores me or the style just doesn't work for me. This is interesting so thank you!

I don't quite understand about Socrates being infertile. I know his *claim* is that he didn't give birth to philosophy, but that doesn't quite seem true..

Glad you found it interesting! I definitely think that some translations of Plato and specific dialogues are very dry.

Interestingly enough, my next post will be about what it means that Socrates is infertile!
