If it wasn’t for Substack, I would have NEVER agreed with a statement like: “Socrates had it coming.”

I also thought it was an excellent article, but as I consider reality to be created by the spirit and non-physical mind, I wasn’t as keen on the neuroscience sections.

Agree, im not a materialist either but there still is great value in analyzing. As much as Kant annoys me the Critique of Pure Reason gets it right in that physical/rational explanations only do so much and cannot explain the spiritual world.

fantastic essay. I love how you intertwined McGilchrist into it and contrasted it with mine. I'm honored by the reference and your reading my friend.

Socrates angered the Sophists, not "the people".

Lycon was a sophist, but Meletus was a poet who attacked Socrates from a religious angle, and Anytus was a politician and tradesman.
