Ancient Greece valued oral culture above everything else, so I understand where Socrates was coming from. But, somewhat ironically, he's known mainly today because his protege, Plato, decided to put his psychological exercises for his students down in writing.

Even though I knew this, I never really thought about how strange that was, but you're right the irony is palpable!
This was fun!
I'm glad you had fun too! Great working with you!
