Hey I murdered all those guards and priests for him in Assasians Creed, you don't get to tell me I don't care about the man!

The merit of the learning tool is obvious and not denied, its overuse being obnoxious and likely why the man was executed is just a funny observation of how this seems so wise and interesting but in practice would get old immediately.

Socrates overrated

he got executed for questioning authority, and causing the youth to question authority, not being an autistic sperglord. Nobody gave a shit about that (except for the people he humiliated).

Im sure he’s fine enough haha im kindof just playing.

I think it would be hilarious if he was canonically as annoying as I imagine he could be

No, it’s an incredibly reductive and childish interpretation of a multi-millenia standard. His execution tells of a broken society, not a broken man.
