Just listened to a kid in a 200s level university English course argue that the novel "The Exorcist" is really just an allegory for puberty, and that Pazuzu was really just Reagan's period.
Peta11m 27s Yeah haha why would anyone expect you to remember the names Crito or Phaedo, which are the names of crucial characters in the dialogues, or any of the related information I mentioned, i.e., that the Crito regards Socrates's execution
I think the dumbest thing ever that I have heard is this one girl in my Psychology class say that racism doesn't exist anymore and that women who get are asking for it in some way.
Like what.

>Gets roasted for not specifically remembering the names of all other dialogues

I read it two years ago in high school during study hall man. All I remember from it is the eugenics part from the republic, which is the only thing I specifically referenced in the first freaking place.

So they are like the chapter names then, as opposed to different books. I don't know why you would expect me to remember that. If The Crito and Phaedo are separate books then I definitely read something else, because what I read was less than 500 pages all together. The only chapter name (Or I guess, specific dialogue) that I remember was "The Republic"

I think the stupidest thing I heard was when I was playing on a quiz machine in a pub, and got a question about who the current Dalai Llama was, and this girl turned around and went "The Dalai Llama isn't his real name???"
The Crito and Phaedo are the second and fourth dialogues, dude.

It wasn't necessarily something that was said, but the stupidest thing I've ever seen was a group of four or five people storm out of my freshman philosophy class when we were pointing out fallacies in Aquinas's five proofs.
