Tfw I turn off bimbo mode for like half an hour and am able to fix Plato's own definition of what he thinks justice is. Like goddamn, I have no clue how he messed it up this bad, he was really overthinking it.

Still not a good definition, but at least once able to be understood.
For those wondering, the definition of justice Plato is actually operating under is "when each person has a role and fills it". Yes this is very authoritarian, Plato sucks. Still, at least communicable in two tweets instead of the multiple pages it took him in The Republic
The definition he uses is like a super complicated version of virtue ethics, that's basically like "when these four virtues are placed inside the tree-part soul of humans, and of society, that's justice", and that's a gross over simplification
Okay I finished the essay, bimbo mode back on now

Like look at what I wrote, what does it mean? I certainly don't know
