Why?
Why was Socrates killed? Socrates, the greatest philosopher of all time, was actually the most hated man in Athens. He was accused of cruelty and corruption of youth. The popular court, the Eliea, condemned him to death: and Socrates, one of the most brilliant minds in history, died drinking hemlock. But why all this? Socrates apparently wasn't doing anything dangerous. He simply asked questions, spoke to anyone: with nobles, with common citizens, with young people. But his questions, in their frankness, in their simplicity demolished the certainties of his interlocutors, forcing them to confront the emptiness of their own certainties, with the incoherence of their reasoning. He taught us to doubt. Socrates was a character who was too uncomfortable with the doubts he inculcated. He had the audacity to expose corrupt politicians and false teachers who advocated false truths and false knowledge. For this he was sentenced to death. He was a threat to the status quo, a danger that needed to be eliminated. During the trial, Socrates did not want to repent or beg for mercy. He also refused to be assisted by a speaker. Intelligence is inconvenient, this is what the trial against Socrates teaches us. The masses want illusions and not truths; they want to be flattered and live happily in ignorance. Smart men are embarrassing. They are prohibited, ostracized, despised, because they disturb the sleep of the masses, question authority, reveal the deceptions of the institutions.

As much as interesting this is the reason why he was killed can be summed up in one phrase - he was a "pain in the a**". 🤣 (edited)

Beautifully written and summed up perfectly...sadly not much has changed today in the mindsets of the elite who also influence the masses...but one small stone overturned and thrown into a lake can still create riples that spread far and wide...where there is impact there is hope! 💓

Brittany Murphy
I had known she passed away young, but didn't know any details. After watching it, you'll definitely be left questioning if there was more to her death. What were some of your fave movies with Brittany Murphy? ~ on HBO Max #truecrime ?

Who else is more interested in every day folk over the rulers?
So I'm looking for historical documentaries that aren't about famous people and leaders if that makes sense. There was one about ka and merit(an Egyptian couple) and I absolutely loved it. Their story helped me feel more connected and relatable to them.

Inmate to Roommate.
Anyone else watching the second season? The lady with the pink hair, Cyndi, is awful. She treats her returning citizen roommate like an errand girl and is totally abusive to her!

Dragonfly
This is not stained glass, it's a wing. - Just one dragonfly can consume over one hundred mosquitos in a day - Dragonflies can fly backwards - They have nearly 360-degree vision - Their wings inhibit bacterial growth due to their natural structures - They're very beautiful

Remembering Gene Wilder
I'm watching the documentary about Gene on Netflix. It's so good. He was such an amazing actor. It makes me want to rewatch all of his movies.
