I read this to spend my time wisely in Jakarta Library before going to my friend's friend's theatrical performance. I have many thoughts about this chapter because it has both the wokest and the most controversial takes. I'll read the analysis and give my thoughts on this after I arrived home.

I forgot to log today, but Book IV covers about how 'justice in society is justice in soul writ large'. Everything they (Glaucon and Socrates) have been talking about finally make sense to me. The misogynistic view is still there but okay I guess. This might be one of the best chapters in this book ngl. I'm excited for the next chapters but I'll be taking a rest today. I finished this chapter at 11 AM today.

"necessity is the mother of invention"
The original quote is:
"Let us create in idea a State; and yet the true creator is necessity, who is the mother of our invention."
Although the context is to find justice within a state and by extension within the individual, the meaning still is close to the original quote.
