No. In an ideal world we should trust the experts but in Socrates’ world the experts aren’t actually experts. Hence why he regularly pissed off the elite with his questions until he got poisoned

Good point. If someone was truly an expert they should be trusted. But Socrates went around interviewing them all and found them to be merely experts-so-called.

Thus proving immutable forms and natures. Nominalism and all of modernity absolutely BTFO, they're in shambles.

Socrates fought man to man with the Spartan elite in open battle on multiple occasions. There is even a story of his section of the line faltering as everyone around him was slain and Socrates holding back the Spartans by himself until reinforcements came in.

Now consider here the irony of NEETzsche claiming that he did philosophy because he was ugly and weak, when NEETzsche was only ever in a non-combat role, never saw battle, and was still "traumatized." Keep in mind that he was an incel while Socrates gathered masculine sons and won the undying respect on many fellow Greek nobles.

The fact that we are children of Nietzsche, Hume, and Foucault instead of Socrates, Plato, and Saint Maximus explains everything you need to know about modernity. Today, people screech about resistance, and fold instantly. Maximos had his writing hand and tongue cut out, and kept going. The wholly immanent and finite "Will to Power" is flaccid and weak. The transcendent Good is infinitely fecund and powerful, without limit.

Even if you survive the heart attack, some ESL medical worker will kill you and your family receives a bill for $82k on the day of the funeral.

Socrates and Plato's philosophy took us to this Nietzsche era though. Also being a soldier is slave-ish

If we're referring to his view of society in Republic, he basically believes that everyone has a specific role in society that they should fulfill without trying to bother others.
Republic also argues that status should be assigned through a raw meritocratic system rather than democratic means or by birth.

I remember that Popper hated the shit out of Plato because he thought Republic was Fascist millennia before Mussolini.
