Socrates literally said that reading and writing made you dumb. That you had to memorize it all.

He wasn’t wrong 🤣

I didn’t know this fun fact yet. Didn’t he write it down somewhere?

That's the point. The only reason why we know who Socrates even was is because someone wrote down what he said. Reading and writing perhaps made the individual "dumber" but probably made society as a whole way smarter...

I know. I was being sarcastic.

I fully agree with nostr:npub1r0rs5q2gk0e3dk3nlc7gnu378ec6cnlenqp8a3cjhyzu6f8k5sgs4sq9ac's opening note.

The Socratic method revolves around questioning, discourse, and not accepting views simply because they are accepted or, put another way, written down.
