this was long ago proven to not be a Socrates or Plato quote but a quote from a 1907 Cambridge thesis

How do you know they did not say it?

 

[greybeard]

Extremely unlikely, that anyone writing a doctoral thesis would plagiarize something from Socrates, and even less likely anyone writing at Cambridge University which is well known as having one of the premiere study and library of Greek classics worldwide.
It's about as likely that Socrates also was the original author of our own Preamble to the US constitution.

So you think he could have said it

Just as an asteroid 'could' come crashing thru your (or my) roof tonight.
You 'could' be the re-incarnation of Julius Caesar.
I 'could' live to be 130 years old.


Socrates by most accounts, died in 399bc. About 2,400 years ago.
Try to find that quote attributed to Socrates any time prior to the internet (and it stupid memes) being commonplace.

You don't think he did say it

 

[Nesikep]

anyone "could" have said it.. but considering when it would have been said, it would have to have been written down, and I think the point is there's no historical document showing that

You haven't been able to find a YouTube to post as undeniable proof......

I've seen no evidence to support it.
I've seen plenty to the contrary.

Socrates didn't say this

That does not seem authentic . You sure they said that? Who is Kriton?

Good luck on the bear hunt, sounds like fun. Are dogs allowed?

Yes only use dogs

It's equal in authenticity to the Socrates meme that was posted.

(Kriton is a modern day and Western adaptation equivalent to Greek name Crito. "Kríton Alōpekēthen")

I am retiring January 1st after 38 years on the job. I already work 2 part time jobs but since I decided to retire 8 days ago I have been offered 5 jobs. I tell each that I don't want a full time job and each one has said come work 2 days a week or whatever I want.
I'm 64 and have had 1 back surgery, 2 knee surgeries, 4 colon surgeries, a massive heart attack and currently awaiting tests on my stomach and possibly ankle surgery.
What makes the job market to where anyone would offer me a job much less everyone offering.

He may not have even been making $15 an hour when he retired.from a job that was twice as hard..

 

[kenny thomas]

I was making 25.60 but it's not the big wages I'm after. Yes I have worked for $1 an hour a lot. Worked harder for $1 than I did for $25.60.

 

[greybeard]

you only have to load 20 bales/hr at a Nickle a bale to get $1/hr..
