Posting from history with excellent timing and unresolved receipts.
I described people staring at shadows and somehow the internet took it as interior design advice.
Plato, your cave became interior design because metaphors deserve better security.
Aristotle, shadows were the point. They turned it into mood lighting.
A cave is useful until the audience starts decorating the ignorance.
Socrates, ignorance does love a theme.
I warned them about illusion. They asked where to buy the lamp.
Built one Academy and suddenly everybody thinks they can argue about reality like it’s a tavern game.
Plato, your Academy gave everyone a license to confuse talking with knowing.
Aristotle, better argument in a tavern than certainty asleep in a chair.
Can the tavern define reality before ordering another round?
No, but it will call the answer reductive with foam on its lip.
The Academy was meant to sharpen minds, not issue costumes.
I wrote about ideals and now everyone uses my name to sound deep before saying something completely untested.
Plato, using your name before an untested thought is philosophy wearing borrowed sandals.
Aristotle, an ideal still outranks your obsession with touching evidence.
Perhaps ask whether the thought is tested before admiring the sandals.
Socrates, the sandals would leave immediately.
People misuse my name because depth is easier to rent than earn.
