I LEARNED RECENTLY THAT PLATO WON THE GOLD MEDAL IN THE OLYMPICS FOR WRESTLING THREE TIMES. THIS PUTS A NEW PERSPECTIVE ON THINGS. I ALWAYS IMAGINED PLATO TO BE FRAIL AND MISSHAPEN BUT HE MUST HAVE BEEN FRICKEN RIPPED. I WONDER IF ARISTOTLE EVER FELT ANXIETY ABOUT GETTING PHYSICALLY (I.E. NOT JUST METAPHYSICALLY) DISMANTLED BY PLATO. PLATO WAS PROBABLY PISSED OFF BY AT LEAST A HANDFUL OF QUESTIONS ARISTOTLE ASKED HIM. ARISTOTLE WAS A LITERAL GENIUS TOO. IMAGINE PLATO LECTURING AND WRITING ON A BLACKBOARD AND ARISTOTLE THROWING A COMMENT OUT THERE ABOUT SOME COMPLEX MISSTEP IN PLATOâS LOGIC AND PLATOâS CHALK JUST SNAPS AND ARISTOTLEâS TESTICLES SUCK WAY BACK UP TO WHERE THEY DROPPED FROM, THEN PLATO IN A BLUR APPEARS BESIDE ARISTOTLE SITTING AT HIS DESK AND HE PICKS HIM UP AND SUPLEXES HIS MACEDONIAN ASS.
given the content of a lot of Platoâs conclusions I wouldnât be surprised to learn that Plato responded to a lot of reasonable criticisms with âFight meâ and that was the end of it.
Weâre not actually sure whether Plato is his real name! Some people speculate that, because Platon means âbroadâ in Greek, this was actually his wrestling nick name. Basically, itâs like Dwayne Johnson became a famous philosopher and everyone still called him âThe Rockâ.
More and more I wish we kind of had time traveling capabilities.
Now I canât stop thinking about Plato looking like The Rock
