if you pick Socrates lol

Aristotle just cuz math

all 3 were garbage people tho

It's a trick question, because almost everything we know about what Socrates thought or said philosophically and politically comes from Plato, and Plato was notorious for putting his own ideas into other people's mouths in his writings.

So if you think you like Socrates, you're actually liking Plato.

Plato wins for inventing the concept of Atlantis, though. Since that gave us both Fate of Atlantis and Atlantis: The Lost Empire.

Why were they garbage people?

Socrates mindfucked his ignorant peers so bad, they had to censor and execute him.

I went with So crates based on his appearance in Bill and Teds excellent adventures and his like of classic rock songs. Dust in the wind dude, all we are is dust in the wind.

Also a fan of Genghis khan because he loves Twinkies.

The best part of that is this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daucus_carota

Wild carrot and hemlock are easily distinguished if you're familiar with them. The flowers look different, for one. Carrot has a single umbel, often with a single dark red flower in the center, hemlock has a compound umbel. Carrot blooms in summer, hemlock in spring. Carrot usually has a hairy green stem that is solid, with few if any branches; hemlock stems are smooth, hollow, heavily branched and usually have purple splotches. Carrot has fuzzy leaves, hemlock leaves are smooth. Carrot smells like carrot, obviously, while hemlock stinks, like mouse urine, and the odor can be smelled at a considerable distance. Carrot rarely grows taller than 1 meter, hemlock can grow to 2 meters or more.

I don't do favorites on people.

Aristotle.

They're all super dated.

But Plato is the one I love to hate the most.

Plato because in the park where Im at theres this quote by Plato that says An hour of play is worth a year of conversation and then ends with -Plato and that part is on its own separate wall

so when someone in the park really gets on me nerves I tell them to go behind the Plato and its hilarious they actually do it, they get all mad
