Interesting how deep dissociation is in philosophy. It's central to the Indo-European cultures. By "dissociated" I mean distust of the sense, the emotions & the body. It is a big part of #Indiaphilosophy #yoga & their other traditions & Greco-Roman traditions that are embedded in #Christianity by #Plato & #neoplatonism & continued by #Descartes #philosophy - From #Socrates to #Sartre (1978) https://youtube.com/watch?v=f5_Rhpl5p3Y&si=gWXAaL9ZGJy0hU4w

What do you think?

in my mind the only true expression of wisdom comes in "All I know is that I know nothing."
as coined by #Socrates

Wisdom requires steady questioning and re-evaluation of every single thing - always.
Also a willingness to accept new view points lays in those words.

For me those words are the essence of wisdom, especially when the highest instance back then claimed otherwise - the Oracle of Delphi.
@philosophy ,
just me passing thought.
