"We, as Muslims, stand with President Trump because he promises PEACE — NOT WAR!"

They're really trying to get you guys excited. Don't let your emotions control you.
Socrates was probably not a pure skeptic who thought that knowledge wasn't possible. If he were, Platon would not have compelled him to say the following in one of his earlier dialogues:

POLUS: What an absurd position you’re trying to maintain, Socrates!
SOCRATES: Yes, and I’ll try to get you to take the same position too, my good man, for I consider you a friend. For now, these are the points we differ on. Please look at them with me. I said earlier, didn’t I, that doing what’s unjust is worse than suffering it?
POLUS: Yes, you did.
SOCRATES: And you said that suffering it is worse.
POLUS: Yes.
SOCRATES: And I said that those who do what’s unjust are miserable, and was “refuted” by you.
POLUS: You certainly were, by Zeus!
SOCRATES: So you think, Polus.
POLUS: So I truly think.
SOCRATES: Perhaps. And again, you think that those who do what’s unjust are happy, so long as they don’t pay what is due.
POLUS: I certainly do.
SOCRATES: Whereas I say that they’re the most miserable, while those who pay their due are less so. Would you like to refute this too?
POLUS: Why, that’s even more “difficult” to refute than the other claim, Socrates!
SOCRATES: Not difficult, surely, Polus. It’s impossible. What’s true is never refuted.
This is offensive. Indecent even. I'll blur it to spare your eyes.

You don't speak well, O man, if you believe that someone worth anything at all would give countervailing weight to danger of life or death or give consideration to anything but this when he acts: whether his action is just or unjust, the action of a good or evil man.


- Socrates in Platon's Apologia, once again clearly believing in nothing, right? 100% a moral skeptic who believed he didn't have any knowledge worth teaching.

It is living well that matters, however bad the consequences for the future welfare may be.

- Socrates stating one of his core messages clearly: the most important thing is whether you are living well, that is, living virtuously. All other concerns in human action are secondary to this.

You should do the right thing, Anon, even if it results in your physical anguish in the future.
Isle Royale National Park, a remote island cluster, comes in third on the list of the most unsafe national parks in America. With its stunning yet isolated landscapes and limited infrastructure, the park makes it harder for visitors in need of medical assistance to reach a hospital within an hour.


Maybe it's too dangerous... You guess shouldn't visit da UP
