                I absolutely hate talking politics. I don’t do it.  I feel no desire to do so and honestly most of it goes over my head and I just tune out of conversations. So the fact that Plato felt like he even had a grasp on what a Utopian society would look like or what a superior government would look like is impressive in itself. But really what I got out of all of this is that there is no ideal government or society, it’s unattainable. He has this grand idea of what would work but it’s just that—an idea. So then as he went through describing the 4 types of governments there are holes in all of them. It’s like voting for president; you’re picking the lesser of two evils. There has to be a better choice but maybe there isn’t a right choice. Perhaps I’m going off on something not completely unrelated to Plato or Socrates and I’ve yet to even mention a cave but that’s what today’s discussion had me thinking about.
