be me
Plato, philosopher extraordinaire
trying to write “The Republic” but keep getting distracted
student Theaetetus shows up
he’s like “hey Plato, when’s the last time you went on a date?”
tfw too busy contemplating the ideal forms to get a real girlfriend
tfw only girl interested in me is Socrates’ cousin who keeps asking about dialectics
”Maybe if you stop talking about cave shadows, girls will like you, bro”
Theaetetus thinks he’s funny
mfw dude has a point
try to go on a date
ask her if she’s ever considered how the soul yearns for true knowledge beyond the physical realm
she asks if I know a guy named Aristotle
apparently, he just talks about practical things, like biology or something
tfw getting ghosted by girls who want literal shadows over my allegorical ones
