I have someone in my life who eerily reminds me of Socrates. I've brought it up with him, too, in our discussions. I've said, look, motherfucker, sometimes when we talk I can picture you as Socrates, and me, as your Plato, who will, later when I've gained wisdom will write about these talks.
But in actuality I backtrack and say (because he has never read Plato or any literature outside of entry-level stuff maybe), "Hey, can I tell you something?"
"Hell yes, you can tell me something. God, I hope I can at least have that."
And then I'll go on to explain to him, and then he'll be amazed and say he's thought about me writing about him later. He said maybe I'll change his words, or put my own thought into it, and I said: that's what Plato did.
Without getting into the specifics of what we talk about (God and the idea of a god, twos, life, the metaphysical), I just want to know this: has anyone else had this person in their life? Should I write about this? Fuck.
Or maybe I should glance the first reply to this post, which reads: "jesus christ this isn't your blog, your diary desu," and then flip the script and turn the entire idea into something postmodern, involving anxiety, self-consciousness, and addiction, titling it something hopefully better than "Suckrates."

This is really beautiful. You should write about it. You've already expressed it very sensitively and wonderfully here.
Good luck, anon :)

We get it, you're REALLY trying to get an honest, idiosyncratic style in your writing. Instead, it feels forced and stiff. If you couldn't imagine yourself saying the words, write something else.

Oh I know exactly what you mean, I have a brother like that, constantly talking about scholasticism, God etc.
Waaay above the shitty meme philosophers most /lit/ peeps read.
But yeah It's that michaelangelo effect.
I'm really glad to hear somebody on this board talks about that kind of stuff with an actual desire to discover the truth.

Sorta. He doesn't talk exactly like Socrates and believes in the opposite of things that Socrates would believe, but he's an older mentor of mine that I'm close with. He's super chill and loves to talk about just about anything

That's gay as fuck you probably talk about foucault and both wear double-breasted pecoats that are too big for your skinny bodies.
