How can one man be so based?

Find me the dialogue he said that in, I fucking dare you

Well when you're part of the luxury class you have all the time and resources in the world to do with what you please, becoming a based god is obviously achievable.

Not OP but, Xenophon's Memorabilia [3.12.7]
and [3.12.8]

Now imagine how much more admirable it is for the impoverished to achieve the same greatness.

No excuses.

>>36283485
>luxury class

socrates worked as a stonemason and a soldier and had very little money, as evidenced in the apology where he is forced to offer his friends' money to pay his potential fine

Socrates was a peice of shit imo. Right off the bat when you argured with him he'd pull a fucking appeal to authority like no ones buissness "oh gee, funny you should realize that and not me, even though im three times your age, you'd think that would have occured to me by now." "You know the oracle DID say i was the smartest" and then get you to agree with an oversimplified statement he frames as being obvious then uses that to make you contradict your self (do you agree that evil people harm their neighbors?). Annoying ugly old man. 1/10 would condemn

thank you saved me a google

You're only able to refute and learn from him because of what he did. He still has value even if you disagree with him.

In my head Nietzsche, Sterner, and Camus were as jacked as socrates was

>socrates worked as a soldier
if I remember rightly military service was compulsory for citizens, it wasn't his employment.

even so he lived in a society which employed slavery so he was still the upper echelon of his society.

Socrates was someone who was made up by Plato. He didn't even exist.

>>36285117
You're thinking of the character of Socrates in Plato's dialogues. I think only the apology is thought to be near enough to a transcription of what he said, although the earlier dialogues like the Euthyphro (and maybe Laches, Lysis and Charmides) are thought to be a close reflection of his ideas. That annoying aspect seems to be more and more noticeable as the dialogues move into Plato's middle and later period though if I remember rightly, it's been a long time though.

he almost assuredly existed. how much of what's attributed to him did he actually say, though? nobody knows.

I guess Aristophanes was writing satire for no reason then.

I wonder what his workout was.

I think the consensus (such as it is) is that the Apology is most likely more or less what he really said at the trial; the middle dialogues like Republic, Symposium etc. and the later dialogues like Sophist, Parmenides etc. are probably Plato's ideas and Socrates is only a mouth-piece; and the blurry area is the early dialogues, with I think some seeing the Euthyphro as probably close to a real discussion Socrates had and the same may be true of Charmides, Lysis and Laches. They all seem quite similar to me and pretty different from the other two sets of dialogues. It's all speculative like anything, there's certainly some scholarship arguing about it one way or the other though if you want to develop your own informed opinions.

I can do that anon. Work on kip ups and handstands. You have to have a really clean kip up and strong handstand before you can even hope to attempt it. Before you try it, work on diving into your handstands. Then find a soft surface where you can eat shit without losing teeth and practice

>>36285995
I remember a story which I think is about Socrates where he's wrestling with a youth (and everyone was naked of course - gymnasium coming from "gymnos" meaning naked) and getting an erection, although supposedly when the boy took alarm and drew back he said "Don't be afraid, lad. I'm not of the same mind as that." (Demetrius, On Style 261; G410)
