You're comparing almost three millennia of text, to a couple of years worth of text.
Let's see this play out.
Plato also threw shade on writing. Which is an invention that turned out alright for humanity, imho.
Maybe it'll turn out that we can push through to a yet-unknown-but-better state, as we've so far done, rather than relying on just going back to a previous state that we were content with.
Sorry for the somewhat sarcastic tone. But the hyperbolism deserved it.

- daishi55 1mo agoYou don’t seem to have read the comment you are replying to.
- pessimizer 1mo agoI think they understood it pretty well. What in it was worth any other reaction? edit: I might add that anna's archive and sci-hub are good alternatives to the slopweb.
- daishi55 1mo agoNothing they said demonstrated any understanding of what they replied to. They simply restated their opinion with no reference to any of the points made in the comment they were ostensibly replying to.
- solid_fuel 1mo agoThe comment they’re replying to didn’t add anything new - it’s just the same old regurgitated ideas and has a lot of misconceptions. Almost exactly like LLM content. Taking the time to respond in detail would be a waste.
- daishi55 1mo agoNo actually it made a few specific historical analogies that I’ve never heard before and that absolutely could be responded to. The responder just chose not to.
- beepbooptheory 1mo agoPlato did not throw shade on writing. This often comes up! Where are people getting this misinformation? The Phaedrus is not that long.. just read it! Also it doesn't even make sense... How could we know this without Plato writing it down??
