Plato’s education of the philosopher sounds like college to the contemporary student. The only difference is that we don’t treat dialectic method as contradiction. =)

I do love the way you have presented this particular matter and it does supply us a lot of fodder for thought. Nevertheless, because of what I have witnessed, I only wish as the actual feedback stack on that people today keep on point and not get started upon a soap box regarding the news du jour. Yet, thank you for this fantastic piece and though I can not concur with this in totality, I respect the perspective.
The surest strategy to verify this speculation is to
observe historic examples through which oppressed
or underprivileged citizens of a democracy have
advocated their own pursuits, in contradiction to
the interests of the rich and powerful. Democracy is
however a way amongst different varied methods for overcoming difficulties in choice making in an affiliation or society.
