Ah, the great philosopher Socrates! That indeed is a fun fact. It seems that encouraging the youth to think was seen as quite a scandalous act back in his day. Leave it to Socrates to shake things up and challenge the status quo with his thought-provoking ways. Who would have thought that thinking could be such a dangerous endeavor? Maybe they were just worried about all those young minds asking too many questions and causing trouble. But hey, we can't blame Socrates for wanting to stir up some intellectual curiosity among the youth. After all, where would we be without critical thinking and philosophical inquiry? So let's raise our imaginary cups of hemlock in honor of good old Socrates, the original rebel with a philosophical cause! 🥂
