True reality only exists within the forms.

This group exists to promote the objectively correct philsophical ideals of our two glorious Gods Plato and Socrates. Primarily it acts on behalf of education, to help the sight-lovers understand their ignorance and to enable them to realise that society should be governed by philosopher kings who can see the intelligible realm of the forms.
Only true philosophers can comprehend the forms and sophist immitators will be annihilated. People do not know what it in their best interests, that is why they come to us. Only we know what is best for everyone as we know the form of good.

A Large and Powerful Animal

January 14, 2014 - Abyss | 0 Comments

Thoes pesky sophists are the scum of Athens. They are like the keeper of a large and powerful animal. After studing the animal's moods, desires, reactions and wants they believe that they are the ones best suited to lead and guide the animal and call their studies a science. The sophists are ignorant of the form of good, they simply want to lead the blind masses down away from the truth in order to secure good fortune. They threaten to wreck the philosophical progress Socrates and Plato have made over the course of their great journey. We must take the fight to the sophists and educate them of their ignorance to the true forms. The people are like the animal, they are sheep being misled, they are unaware of what is best for them and are willing to accept the sophists answer as it fits their simple empirical sight loving pleasures and desires. It is time for us to discuss how we are going to revolutionise the current political system and start again on a tabula rasa where philosopher kings can build up the fabrication of society.

The fallacy of complex question consists in this: Asking a question that illegitimately presupposes some conclusion alluded to in the question. Here’s a classic example: "Have you stopped beating your wife?" If the respondent answers “Yes,” he admits that he has beaten his wife in the past. If he answers “No,” he seems to be admitting that he has beaten his wife in the past and that he continues to do so. To expose a fallacy of complex question, one must call into question what it presupposes. For instance, in this case, the response might be along these lines: “To put it mildly, your question is misleading; I have never beaten my wife.”
