brooklyn, Have suggested it to you from the beginning of the chat. You are taking it too literally. If you say Trump is a pig you don't mean that in a literal sense. He oinks. He wallows in mud. But he only has two legs.
""His wisdom, in truth, is worth nothing". Hard to misinterpret that, either he's claiming that Socrates was overrated or that wisdom is."
And in your "...either he's claiming that Socrates was overrated or that wisdom is."" i get the idea you still haven't fully accepted that in the signature:
"It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”"
Plato is saying that Socrates was wise because he knew he didn't know it all. Plato is saying was that edge Socrates had over the others. The others - the politicians and the tradesmen - thought they were wise in that they gave the impression they knew it all. Maybe it was more their smugness that pissed Socrates off. The fact they sentenced Socrates to death for questioning so much that they believed in showed they were afraid of him.
Hope that article helps.
Now anyone could totally believe Plato and Socrates were wrong. That would be a different discussion. But take it from me. Knowing you really don't know much at all. Fully understanding and being content with that, really can be a source of much inner peace.
For example, if a relative stranger tells you you are a total asshole. You just hear it. Nod. And say, umm, ok .. yeah, maybe.
