word thats dope man, i never read any plato myself. i mainly focus on history based stuff, and even then its more toward military history than anything. so for example i've read alot of xenophon, who was also a student of socrates but was also a soldier involved military conflicts and shit, where plato was just a philosopher type dude

i'll eventually get to his shit too though.

but you get dope age old quotes from basically anything back then. and even the military histories tend to get into the workings of their governments, critiques of leadership, perks blah blah. basically just gems scattered around

but they're scattered between battles, strategy and tactics

that i can then later get a nerd boner over and google all aspects, from the type of troops to the terrain, what they ate, how they organised and set up supply etc. etc.

and the fact this was all happening in BC times. the ancient world was dope. just no anti biotics though.

Ud love this


He basically constructs his idea of what the perfect nation state is with regard to education, military, healthcare, trade market etc

I'm not done yet and he getting kindve super wild right now talm bout having the naturally monstrous men being able to only breed their children to ensure the race would continue to grow bigger and stronger etc

Like I said ud love it lol

But word he creates the nation state to compare it to the individual as they attempt to define what justice is and whether or not it's more profitable to be just or unjust for the individual and the whole as well


Crazy like u said cuz how ancient Socrates was and how many of these ideas we still have or discuss today

no doubt. society changes, but humans are humans and have been for forever. i'll have to check it though for sure. i want to post long winded nonsense to help give a context to the world he was in, but im sure he's doing a better job of it than i could lmao.

i'll end up checking it though just to peep his style and how its structured, because if you dig it i can recommend more based off it, but from this era, 350ish BC, its mostly all greek.

I'm reading Investing Demystified: A Self-Teaching Guide. When I finish, I'll be an expert on the stock, bond, and market market. And then I'll market myself to multiple jobs and land them while overloading on investment succes$. It's a pretty good read thus f@r.

there go 52. we made it fam.

the 5th risk talks about trump putting incompetent loyalists into key government agency positions and basically attempting to gut the sciences within the USDA, Dept of commerce, EPA etc fighting against climate change and basically opting for privatization of government agencies by corporations that don't have the capabilities necessary to handle the task.

fear was more trump bashing lol....this one was more of a soap opera from within the white house. pretty enjoyable. paints him as a bumbling moron who doesn't understand how government actually works and relies on his cabinet to guide him as best as they can....granted he can still keep his base supporters in the eye of the media. was amusing in sections talking about plans trying to get him off twitter lol......lol.

the republic by plato is probably my book of the year. straight fire.

last book is about climate change and green energy. pretty dope. basically china is going to develop it first or were going to die....since we (America)apparently have zero interest in developing it. and when they do develop it we will probably go to war with them because lol at any country being stronger than America. pretty relevant reading in light of the recent climate change report released by the UN that king trump brushed aside.

Congrats on bringing your goal to the finish line.

I'm reading Economics by Paul Samuelson and William Nordhaus. It's a 700-page textbook on the basics and fundamentals so I'm skipping the graph/equation paragraphs and focusing on what I can feasibly retain.
