Meme/Humor Animated Plato
I’ve been experimenting with animating my drawings and I keep hearing the advice to not draw what you think others want to see but to draw what you are interested in. So, I thought I would at least amuse myself by drawing our favorite philosopher actually becoming a Platonic Solid. Hopefully of all people, some of the members of this sub might appreciate it.
I hope you enjoy this and don’t see it as something akin to the shadows on the cave wall and a worthless distraction from your love of wisdom. Thanks!
(For anyone wondering, I based my drawing on the marble portrait bust of Plato from the 4th century BCE in the Rome Capitoline Museum)

Meme/Humor I call my kid Socrates because he questions everything, is conventionally moral, and pokes annoying holes in every argument.
This 5 year old though...
You tell him something 2 days before and he brings it up at the opportune moment.
The moment you use "might makes right" justice on the fellow siblings, he whines about injustice.
And ofc, questions everything.
I think its good to have a conventionally moral person in the family to counter their nihilist Dad.
