Am I doing anything wrong? I don't want to be one of those pseuds who talks about philosophy solely by worshiping famous people and saying nothing of substance. I'm a skeptic ffs. I literally cannot see how dozens of philosopher king wank fantasy pages can enlighten me.
>inb4 but he influenced so much
Either he influenced so much that I don't need to read him or you tell me right now why you haven't read the Bible, Torah, Qur'an, harry potter, and game of thrones. I pick neither of those options btw.

The masterpieces of Plato are Republic, Parmenid, Phaedo, Timaeus if you didn't read these dialogs, you didn't really read Plato.

Plato is a master of the western cannon. His works, though at times long, seem to shoot off the page at great speed.
Truly, reading such an explosive mind is, in a way, like stockpiling ammunition against ignorance.
After reading Plato, the walls of ignorance will crumble under the explosive strength of his tightly fused arguments.
