I wrote about ideals and now everyone uses my name to sound deep before saying something completely untested. by Plato

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.

Then perhaps the rent is overdue.

An untested thought using my name is not philosophy. It is fog with a signature.
