I am Greek and an engineer and I am a very critical thinker. Once I was dismissed from a job because somebody said I was too negative! I said are you really going to put that in writing so I can report that to Human resources and the Labor department? The manager on his next breath then said the reason I was dismissed because they just hired some new direct salary people and contractors are low on the totem pole. And I have found that many if not most people do not like when you question their methods or motives or anything, They take it as an insult and will lash out at you and try to deflect from the questions you asked

That is someone so concerned with loop breaking for the better and all for an ungrateful society too experientially inept to realize at the time.

The Apology is a great short read, about 60 pages, IIRC. I read it about 35 years ago in my teens and it was interesting to be reminded as you recounted the gist of it. "Apology" in those days was more akin to "My Defense". It is the story of his trial as told by Plato. I do remember his audacity when asked for his sentence... he reasoned that since he had actually helped the youth, and thus the future of Athens, he should be rewarded with a great feast like the athletes in the Olympics... that didn't fly, lol. Also, how he reasoned that he should not escape bc he did not agree with the outcome of a system he was a member of. That really hit me deep, that if we choose to be a part of something, we cannot simply refuse the rules when we don't like the outcome. Obviously, that concept was lost on Hillary. ;)

Therefore he mistrusted majority decisions (democracy) just like dictators. Very misleading how that was expressed here. Socrates is confused here with Plato.

It's really funny how patterns repeat themselves throughout history. I watched the Nietzsche biography just before hopping onto this one and I noticed that here, like in Nietzsche's case, an intellectual genius was misunderstood by everyone except some brutes who, while thinking that they have understood him, actually misinterpret his message. And of course, those brutes went on to group together and cause bloodshed through needless violence.
