My reaction upon reading the first chapter of The Complete Works of Plato.

It got easier as I read it though. I can make it.

I will hijack your thread for a second and ask: If you can't properly communicate your message to the common man, who's at fault?
A. (You)
B. The common man
C. The message

It depends.
There might be a great deal of reasons for it, such as:
1. I'm using very technical language that's only part of a few specific people's vocabulary,
2. the common man isn't interested in what I have to say.
3. what I'm saying is a word salad and follows no logic or structure.
I believe communication has to have an intent, and has to consider, among other things, the recipient of a message.
If I say something that I KNOW the recipient won't understand I'm at fault, but as you've seen it's more complicated than just "it's [X's] fault."

Socrates is abusing the binary nature of human language and the fact that the greeks don't even have much consciousness yet. They're all NPCs compared to him

Explain why none of the greeks questioned by socrates could define ethical terms that they were using daily. Meno says he made 1000 speeches on virtue and now isn't sure what it is.
