A lot of Athenians suspect Socrates of plotting to overthrow democracy. On the other hand, Socrates says that when Athenians start thinking politics, they turn into a paranoid mob. This episode covers both sides and it honestly sounds like Socrates is complaining about Twitter. Topics:-Why people who are into politics are so annoying. -How the “political mindset” differs from the “philosophical mindset.”-Whether Socrates is an enemy of the state.Art: Marijke BouchierMusic: David Zikotivz and Clayton TappEditing, episode art and social: SepidehFudgicles: Zachary AmzallagSupport the show (https://www.patreon.com/user?u=35146517&fan_landing=true)
