Plato is the founder of the western academic tradition.

He literally built the Academy.

why not socrates? his knowledge=good trash got us nowhere fast.

that being said, if knowledge=power and power=truth than I guess he was right accidentally.

It's not truth = power it's belief = power.
It doesn't matter how straight you are if everyone thinks you're a faggot and treats you accordingly.

>>1857637
what is truth but belief in it you retard

my point is that the powerful create the truth, and if knowledge is power, and socrates' truth is good, than knowledge really is good.

We know that knowledge is essential to securing power. Knowledge of technology or sociology, economics, medicine its all there. So if steve goes to war with jim, who has a little bit more knowledge regardless of their subjective moral opinions, jim's morals live on as truth because steve isn't even alive. So if power decides what is true, and true is good, and knowlede is power than...

Knowledge = power = truth = good
