Going through platos republic. Definitely going to need to give this at least 2xs the go through. There's alot of aughts and ifs and thens that require full attention to understand these concepts fully.

I want to be able to argue like this. I believe this is the proper way to persuade someone to understand your views if instead of TELLING them how to think you ask the questions that can help get them there on their own.

Anyone aware of any kind of self help videos that can help build the foundation to properly establish argumentation ethics? #asknostr

Can you expand more in this topic? It’s been a while since I’ve read Plato

Well i believe im about halfway though. It's been mostly about the justifying what is Justice and Injustice and how the 2 equate to society as a whole.

One of the fellow people inquire how those that do the injustice benefit far greater than that of the just man and society celebrates the unjust man. Platos argumentation shows us that if a man is to be unjust to others is being unjust to one's self and to be unjust to one's self then they aren't in harmony with one's self, by being unharmonious with one's self you are constantly at war with thyself and to be at war with oneself would necessarily mean that you are unhappy despite the outward appearances of achievement over the just man.

He's now into the argument of music and gymnastics and how the 2 can be in coordination with story telling myths of the gods. How in speaking of the Gods you shouldn't ever tell fictitious stories about them as this could lead to the rot of society as it would create strife among the people.

Makes sense, we can say that justice is natural law. Just like there are repercussions for both justice and unjust actions

I think Plato was trying to teach. But perhaps Socrates was really trying to learn what he, himself, might most confidently believe with his questions.
