About Me

I was born in Athens 469 B.C. I am short in stature, thick necked, and somewhat corpulent. I have prominent blue eyes, an upturned nose and a large mouth. Before becoming a philisopher i was a hoplite, or in other words a soldier for Greece. I gave up that career, and i began making public appearences professing my beliefs (Many of which you can read in my blog). I am open minded, I state my beliefs but i welcome feedback, insults, arguments, or questions on any of my beliefs. However, keep in mind I am the infamous Socrates, and my intellect is superior to almost any human in history. So before you ramble on about your beliefs, take a minutes to digest what it is I am saying.

Killing

Killing is a subject that has always fascinated me. Killing others for revenge or anger is understandable. It is a lack of mental capacity to grasp a situation. The lack of understanding drives the pe...

War

War is a human necessity. It is as beautiful as it is destructive. It separates humans from animals. We have the soul to fight for something we believe in, even if it means dying. That is why dying fo...

Human Destruction

Destruction is a human instinct that can never be gotten rid of. Humans never forget the sorrow that wars cause, however they do not stop fighting. One can't speak of history without referring to wars...
