Our class discussion on Socrates and his trial and death were.... interesting. In my opinion, Socrates sounded like that nerdy guy in high school who would start up a conversation just so he could turn it into a heated debate to prove how "brilliant" he was.... Basically he existed just to bug the crap out of everyone. Sure, he may have been super intelligent, but with all that knowledge in his head, he lacked the sense to keep his mouth shut....... Yeah. I don't know a whole lot about Socrates, but that's the kind of guy that I was immediately reminded of.
Our discussion on Greek Theatre and how Aristotle's views and ideas on theatre are still used to this day were fascinating too. And no, after playing video games, I do NOT feel like going outside and sniping someone in the head.... Though I could see an alteration in behavior if a person were to play video games nonstop and completely sever their ties with the "real world"... Maybe... Sounds like my little brother, anyways!
Looking forward to class on Tuesday!! :)
