Socrates in short believed, that justice was for each to "mind his own business" and do what each does best.

This post is probably a dishonor to Socrates and Plato, but I feel it is good enough for this purpose.

Hopefully it is clear that Conventionalism is dead.

You always become fascinated with what you are learning in school and both you and your brother show this through your posts. I guess that my question to you is this: If society does not determine what is true, do you believe that truth is knowable? If so, what is the source of this truth...and...can it even be quantified as one particular absolute?
