Status Updates From The Republic

According to Thrasymachus, Glaucon and Adeimantus being unjust and seeming just leads to better individual rewards. Pascal's wager, but backwards.

According to Socrates (or plato) being just is not done for yourself but for the people around you.

Third book continues the censorship thing and asserts that both music and gymnastic creates harmonious soul suitable for leaders/rulers. Again, many inference to Indonesian government lol, but yeah the gold, silver, copper thing is introduced here. It's cool that Socrates stated that rulers and auxiliaries should not touch gold or silver though (for they are already one, perhaps?)

Istg Socrates just say that you believe in something stop making your hostage agree with a statement in seeking the validation you think you deserve.

Stupid Greek philosophers who think they are the pinnacle of human consciousness designing their ideal state which is by all means a horrible place to live in
