  • to the dude who made this video...u would be better off having the image black or no color during the entire clip than all those images you have...once someone sees that video they will most likely always associate those particular images with those words...better u leave it to one's imagination to interpret and try to understand what Plato wrote....thankyou for posting though..

  • i hate my english class but i love youtube

  • Very deep concept.

  • @flowerflower03 uh what? Nobody really believes in this "theory of idea"-crap. It was stupid to begin with (IMO anyway) and it's disproved.

  • @GamerOfSkills so you talk against him but don't give any reason for you to be right?... your lost my friend and i don't blame you because just like the rest of civilians the media and others view on things have blinded you to the truth.. i don't take Plato's or any others view on things i make sure i do my research and then go back to old teachings and they make sense seems as if you started in the wrong place and took in fouls information.. im sorry for your misunderstanding and ignorance.

  • @roscoeblevins small input.. Dont you see what the person who did this video is trying to show?.. it is trying to show how Plato's words and thoughts are relevant to present society.. you are the caved individual.. you making the the suggestion of leaving the screen black and letting a person run with opened imagination, what is your imagination picturing Roscoeblevins?

  • @GamerOfSkills You attacks Plato yet you have present an actual arguement why you disagree

  • If you live from projections of others, you will never know the world as it really is.

  • @tasost78 if U knew and understoood what I understand youd shit ur pants

  • @roscoeblevins weak minded people...dont worry the nwo will have brain chips soon enough...but thanks for your opinion

  • @LCaesars92AAA04 what exactly about platos epistemology and ontology makes sense to you? To me it seems like everything about his philosophy was wrong but hey plato was probably a smart guy
