What did he mean by this?

Euthanasia

Being an active user on 4chan is worse than death.

>>8976619
Being a passive user is even worse.

>>8976623
I meant active as frequent, sorry.

>>8976615
Search about "myth of the cave" and find out for yourself

Nearly missing these quads was the worst thing that nearly happened to me. This is what I have gathered from the Greeks.

>>8976667
Sorry friend, death doesn't seem so bad now eh?

This is the worst day of my life.

>>8976667
The best part is that he's off by one.

>>8976667
Bakana!

>>8976674
Hey look on the bright side, you got the demon trips, that should almost make up for having to be a slav.

>>8976615
He's saying that it is arrogant to assume that death is a bad thing, because this implies that you are wiser and more knowledgeable than you really are. Nobody really knows what happens after death, so nobody can say with absolute certainty that death is a bad thing.

Secondly, I think he may be building on what Socrates says in The Trial of Socrates, where he tells his friends that it is the natural progression of philosophy for the philosopher to die and finally be separate from his body of flesh and blood, able to exist purely as thought and nothing else.

Poor anon, have a sympathy (You).

It's because he despised the human condition of having a body.

Why have you forsaken us O Lord?

>>8976857
Quit over thinking.

Being chained to a wall and having your dick slowly chopped off is a worse fate then death. Lots of things are worse then death.

I thought it was about considering a life not worth living to be worse than death

So is Plato essentially telling me to kill myself?

>>8977369
I guess.

That, or telling you to live a life worth living

>>8976666

I don't understand this. Why did they do this to me?

>>8976615
He actually never said this. Or this comes from a rather poor translation of Apology/Phaedo
